BUSINESS & PROJECT
The company structure should reflect the real project.
When the company forms part of a property purchase, commercial activity or immigration strategy, we coordinate related matters to maintain an integrated view.
BUSINESS FORMALIZATION
Decisions and registrations that must work together.
Forming a company involves more than signing bylaws. The trade name, Commercial Registry, tax registration, governance and ongoing obligations should reflect how the business will actually operate.
Which legal structure can a Dominican business use?
Available forms include the SRL, SAS and EIRL, among others. The suitable structure depends on ownership, management, capital and the planned operation.
Does registering a trade name create the company?
No. An ONAPI trade-name registration and incorporation are separate steps. Corporate documents, Commercial Registry and applicable tax registration must also be coordinated.
Can a foreign national own an interest in a Dominican company?
Foreign participation can be structured under Dominican law. Corporate and tax filings may require passports, identification and properly formalized foreign documents.
What should be decided before drafting the company documents?
The business activity, owners, ownership percentages, management, signing authority, registered address, capital and any contributions in cash or assets.
What happens after obtaining the Commercial Registry and RNC?
The company must organize its records, invoicing, accounting and tax compliance. Labor, municipal or sector-specific registrations may also apply.
Does forming a company guarantee residency for owners or managers?
No. Company formation and immigration status are separate processes. When both are part of one strategy, they should be coordinated without confusing their requirements.
