Start with the business reason

A Panama company should solve a real need. Contracts, operations, or holding assets. You can keep it anonymous with nominee directors and use it for international business. Panama usually taxes only income earned in the country. That flexibility is the real advantage.

This is for you if

  • You earn abroad and need to invoice through a company.
  • You want to hold shares or intellectual property in a company.
  • You want to pair a trading company with a foundation.
  • You want the company formed without flying to Panama.

The trade-offs

  • If you do business outside the US, a US LLC is usually simpler.
  • This is not an estate-planning tool.

Why a Panama company

The company can run a business or hold assets. It is not a foundation, a US LLC, or personal residency.

Invoice as a company, not as you

Contracts, accounts, and IP can go in the company, not in your personal name.

No need to fly there

The company can be incorporated without you going to Panama. Our local legal representative files.

Foreign income is usually not taxed in Panama

Income from sources outside Panama is usually not taxed there.

Clear yearly obligations

After formation you pay yearly fees and keep the company in good standing. We explain the scope first.

A foundation can own it

The company does the business. A foundation can hold the shares for the family. We only add that when it helps.

A bank account comes after

Once the company exists, we can help with a bank account.

Local lawyers form it

Our legal team forms the company. We keep the scope, documents, and process moving.

What company formation includes

  • A clear recommendation

    We say whether a Panama company, a US LLC, or no new company makes sense.

  • Company structure

    We agree on a structure that covers your needs without extra burden.

  • Company formation

    Our local legal representative files the documents. You do not need to be in Panama.

  • Banking as a next step

    We can discuss banking after the company exists.

  • We stay with it after

    You get a clear picture of fees, renewals, and how later changes work.

Questions before you form a Panama company

The main decisions are what the company will do, who owns it, where the work happens, and what must be maintained each year.

Holding is one way to use a Sociedad Anónima, not a separate service. If you need that, we say so on the call.
Once the company exists, we can offer bank account opening.
A US LLC is a simple operating company, mostly for business outside the United States. Income tax usually stays with you. A Panama company has different benefits, because Panama usually taxes only income earned in the country. We help you pick the right one.
Formation starts at $3,290. We can also help with banking, the right company setup, renewals, and the mandatory annual government fees.
It depends on your situation and whether you need to handle inheritance in the family. A Sociedad Anónima is an operating company. A foundation can hold the shares, but putting the company under a foundation is not always the right move. We only do that when it helps.
