If you have read this far, it means
that you are now convinced that a Panama Corporation is for you,
and you are ready to incorporate. Now it is just a matter of clicking
on "Order Now" and completing an online order form.
Read the simple procedures below to establish a Panama Corporation.
1. Personal Information:
Complete the online application with your personal contact details.
2. Indicate what type of
entity(s) you want: Indicate whether you want a new Panama
corporation or a Panama shelf corporation. If you choose to purchase
a shelf corporation, then you will be issued the first available
shelf company, and you can skip the name section of the online
application. Also, indicate how many corporations you want of
each type.
3. Selecting the Name(s):
On the online application, you should indicate three name choices
for each corporation. Panama Corporations names can be in any
language and must include one of the following corporate suffixes:
· Inc.
· Incorporated
· Corp.
· Corporation
· S.A.
Note: For your information,
"S.A." in Spanish means "Sociedad Anonima",
or "Anonymous Society". This is just another form of
saying "Corp." or "Inc." in Spanish.
Once you have submitted
the online application including the name(s) for your corporation(s),
we will check to see if the names you selected are available in
the Panamanian Public Registry. We can have this done within a
few hours. The first available name selections will be incorporated
as soon as we have received payment.
4. Directors: On
the online application, you should indicate who you want to appoint
as directors of your corporation(s). Every Panama corporation
requires 3 directors/officers (President, Secretary and Treasurer).
The directors/officers can be either individuals or entities.
If our client is appointed
as director on the corporation, then his/her name is publicly
known as director since the directors names and identifications
must be presented in the public registry when the corporation
is formed. Generally, the only documentation on public record
is the deed (or articles) of incorporation and the names and addresses
of the directors/officers and Registered Agent.
We offer our clients
the optional service of using our "Nominee Directors"
for their corporation(s). For purposes of confidentiality, most
of our clients prefer that we provide nominee directors/officers
for their corporations. When we appoint nominee directors for
the entities that we establish for our clients, we always provide
our clients with pre-signed, undated letters of resignation from
the directors so that our client can replace those directors at
any time. There is no additional fee for the use of our nominee
directors.
Otherwise, if clients
prefer to appoint their own directors, they simply complete our
online application with the names of the directors that they wish
to use (they also must send us a photocopy of their directors
passports).
5. Share Certificates:
On the online application, clients should inform us as to how
they wish to have their corporations share certificates issued.
The shares can be issued either to "The Bearer", or
in Nominative Form (to a specific person or entity). The beneficial
owners of the corporation are not required to be recorded in the
Public Registry.
The shareholders can
be anonymous. In other words, the shares can be issued to "The
Bearer", meaning that the shares are like cash, and can be
passed from one bearer/owner to another bearer/owner by a physical
certificate without re-registering the shares through a registered
agent. This is a very anonymous and confidential form of ownership,
and is another reason why Panama is one of the most popular jurisdictions
to incorporate.
Note: If clients do
not indicate their preference for share certificates, then the
corporation will be created with the share certificates issued
to "The Bearer".
6. Payment: On
the online application, you should indicate your preferred method
of payment. Payment can be made by Bank Wire Transfer, Western
Union Cash Transfer, USD Check, or USD International Money Order.
For fastest processing, we highly recommend paying by Bank Wire
Transfer, Western Union, or E-Gold. Checks and International Money
Orders take two to three weeks to clear, and we do not begin processing
until payment has cleared. After submitting the online application,
you will be contacted by our service staff and will be provided
with payment instructions.
7. Time Frame: A
new corporation can be established within 3 to 5 business days.
Shelf corporations are also available if you need a corporation
immediately. Shelf corporations are the same, except that they
have already been incorporated and are ready to engage in business
immediately if you are in a rush to do business very quickly.
Simply notify us on the online order form if you prefer a shelf
name and we will provide one for you.
