Chile
A Chilean SpA may be formed by one individual or legal entity and suits trading, services, and project operations serving Chile and Latin America. Foreign investors may hold 100% of the shares, but normally need RUT registration, a start-of-activities filing, and a Chile-domiciled or resident representative.
A flexible company for the Latin American market.
