Colombian Company Setup

The Colombian Company Setup Services provide comprehensive support for foreign nationals and investors looking to establish a formal business presence in Colombia. Whether you’re planning to launch a startup, create a vehicle for investment, or support your immigration process, this service ensures your business is legally structured from the outset. With expert guidance, you’ll navigate the essential regulatory requirements and lay a solid foundation for operations. Our services are tailored to help you enter the Colombian market efficiently, ensuring compliance and long-term sustainability in the country’s legal and business framework.

About Benefits

A properly structured company allows you to operate formally, comply with Colombian regulations, and access key services such as commercial credit, tax optimization, and public or private tenders. It also gives legal certainty to your transactions and partnerships, both within Colombia and abroad.

About Requirements

To incorporate a company in Colombia, you’ll typically need a valid passport, a business name, information about shareholders or partners, and a power of attorney if you’re not present in the country. Most of the process can be done remotely and does not require a minimum capital contribution.

Key aspects of company formation and legal setup include:

Legal incorporation

Creating a SAS (Simplified Stock Company), drafting bylaws, and formalizing shareholder agreements for full legal recognition.

Tax and financial registration

Preparing certified financials and registering your company with the DIAN to obtain a Tax ID (RUT).

Remote setup for foreign investors

Facilitating company creation from abroad through power of attorney and digital processes.

Corporate base for visas and investments

Using your Colombian company to support visa applications, certify foreign investment, and open corporate bank accounts.

Business address and virtual presence

Providing a compliant address in Colombia for legal and tax obligations, even for companies without a physical office.

Foreign Direct Investment

Registering your company’s capital with the Central Bank of Colombia  (Banco de la República) is a critical and mandatory step for foreign investors who intend to bring funds into the country. This registration formalizes your investment, aligns it with national foreign exchange controls, and provides the legal recognition needed to operate as a compliant international investor. Beyond meeting regulatory obligations, it also serves as a foundation for future procedures such as applying for visas, accessing banking services, and securing investment-related rights. Proper registration ensures transparency and long-term financial protection for your investment in Colombia.

About Benefits

Registering your capital formally allows you to obtain foreign investor status, qualify for business owner or investment visa categories, protect your right to repatriate funds, and demonstrate legal compliance.

About Requirements

To register capital, you must present proof of the transaction, the company’s incorporation certificate, shareholding structure, and a declaration of the investment’s origin. Sometimes, you must also provide accounting records or a certificate from a Colombian public accountant.

Key aspects of capital registration include:

Foreign direct investment certification

Registering funds with the Banco de la República to obtain formal recognition as a foreign investor.

Legal proof of capital contribution

Providing documentation of the money invested in the company, which may include initial wire transfers or in-kind contributions.

Support for visa and tax processes

Using the certified investment to support Migrant or Resident visa applications and prove economic solvency.

Compliance with Colombian exchange regulations

Ensuring all capital inflows are reported and documented according to local foreign exchange laws.

Future repatriation rights

Guaranteeing your right to repatriate capital or profits later under the same conditions.

Taxes for expats

Our tax services in Colombia are designed to help both individuals and businesses meet their mandatory tax registration and compliance obligations. Whether you’re a foreign professional earning income locally or abroad, or a company beginning operations in Colombia, proper tax setup is essential for staying in good legal standing. We guide you through the regulatory landscape to ensure your tax status is clear and up to date. With expert assistance, you’ll be able to operate with confidence, avoid penalties, and navigate Colombia’s tax system with greater clarity and efficiency.

About Benefits

Proper tax registration provides legal standing to operate, access public services, sign contracts, and open bank accounts. It also ensures you meet annual filing duties and avoid costly fines or audits.

About Requirements

To register or file taxes, individuals typically need a valid passport, Colombian entry stamp or visa, proof of income or economic activity, and in some cases, proof of residence or a local tax address. Foreigners may also need supporting documents translated and apostilled.

Key aspects of tax registration and compliance include:

Obtaining a Colombian Tax ID (RUT)

Securing your official tax ID number is mandatory for any economic activity, financial transaction, or legal procedure in Colombia.

Income tax filing for individuals

Complying with annual tax obligations by filing accurate declarations based on your worldwide or Colombian-sourced income.

Tax advisory and legal consultation

Receiving expert support from tax lawyers and accountants to understand your liabilities and avoid errors or double taxation.

Bank Account in Colombia

The Brokerage Account Opening offers the essential financial services required to invest or operate in Colombia from abroad. Whether launching a business, moving assets, or planning long-term economic strategies, having the correct banking setup is a critical first step.

About Benefits

With a properly established brokerage account, you gain access to local financial markets, secure your international transfers under legal frameworks, and open the door to investment-based visa opportunities.

About Requirements

To open a brokerage account, you need a valid passport, proof of legal income or investment origin, and supporting documentation.

Key aspects of banking services include:

Brokerage access for foreign investors

Opening a Colombian brokerage account to invest in local markets, transfer funds legally, and support your immigration or business processes.

Legal fund transfers and certification

Ensuring capital sent from abroad is properly registered and certified with the Colombian Central Bank (Banco de la República), especially for investment or visa purposes.

Financial compliance and tax coordination

Aligning banking activity with Colombian tax obligations to avoid legal complications and ensure transparency with DIAN and other authorities.

I highly recommend Expat Group to anyone in need of assistance with their visa application or residency process. Their level of expertise and commitment to their clients is unmatched, and I cannot thank them enough for helping me obtain my Cédula. Without their help, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
