Latin America · Market entry

Latin America, entered from a base that works.

Paraguay is the foothold; the region is the prize. Six markets, each prepared as its own entry briefing — entity, timeline and the edge that decides where you start.

How to expand

Enter the region in order, not all at once.

Most founders should not enter six markets at once. The sequence we recommend is simple: establish a Paraguay base, then expand into one regional market at a time, led by where the opportunity — not the hype — actually is.

Questions

Straight answers before you commit.

Why enter Latin America through Paraguay?

Paraguay offers a low-cost, investment-grade Mercosur base with a flat 10% corporate tax. You establish there first, then expand into neighbouring markets from a stable foothold rather than committing everywhere at once.

Which country should I start with?

It depends on your priority — market size points to Brazil, speed and stability to Chile, nearshoring to Colombia, talent to Argentina, a dollar economy to Ecuador. The selector above gives a quick steer, and we refine it with you.

Can you set up companies in all six markets?

Yes. We handle incorporation, tax registration and banking in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, each under the right local vehicle — Ltda., SpA, S.A.S., S.A.C. and so on.

Do I need a local partner in each country?

Generally no. Most of these markets allow full foreign ownership; a few activities are regulated. We flag any local-partner or licensing requirement before you commit.

How long does market entry take?

Incorporation ranges from a few weeks (Chile, Colombia) to a couple of months (Brazil, Argentina). Banking and tax registration add time. We give a realistic schedule per market in the briefing.

Can I run the region from Paraguay without relocating?

Largely yes. The base and much of the regional setup can be managed remotely; some banks or registrations need presence or a local representative, which we arrange.
