Most founders now use the EAS: one shareholder is enough, there is no minimum capital, and it is constituted online. We handle the deed, the tax number and the first bank conversation, so the company can trade from day one, fully set up.
Free first call. Fixed quote within one business day.
The EAS was built to do exactly what international founders need: a single owner, no capital floor, and an online deed. The S.R.L. and S.A. still earn their place when ownership is shared or you expect outside investors.

Law and practice: Entities and share capital: Civil Code (Ley Nº 1183/1985) for the S.A. and S.R.L.; the EAS under Ley Nº 6480/2020 and Decreto Nº 3998/2020, constituted online through SUACE (Ley Nº 4986/2013). EAS shares are nominative and cannot be listed on the stock exchange. Rules as of October 2026.

Paraguay runs a closed catalogue of company types under the 1985 Civil Code, modernised by the EAS. The practical consequences for a foreign founder are three:
One owner is enough
The EAS can be formed by a single shareholder, local or foreign — the S.A. and S.R.L. still need two.
No capital floor
The EAS sets no statutory minimum capital; you size it to the business.
Territorial tax
Corporate income tax (IRE) and VAT (IVA) register with DNIT; Paraguay taxes on a territorial basis.
Nominative shares
Bearer shares are gone; ownership is transparent and on the register.
Law and practice: Company types: Civil Code (Ley Nº 1183/1985); EAS under Ley Nº 6480/2020 and Decreto Nº 3998/2020, formed online via SUACE (Ley Nº 4986/2013). Tax: corporate income tax and VAT under Ley Nº 6380/2019, administered by DNIT, on Paraguay’s territorial principle. This is general information, not advice, and is confirmed for your case in the brief. Rules as of October 2026.
Yes. A non-resident can hold the entire company, and an EAS can be formed by a single foreign shareholder. You sign remotely by power of attorney.
An EAS is typically constituted in 3–8 business days once documents are in order; an S.R.L. or S.A. takes longer because of the notarial deed. Bank onboarding is separate and depends on the profile.
No. The constitution can be done remotely under power of attorney. Some banks may later ask for a visit or a video call — we tell you up front which do.
Not for the EAS. The S.A. and S.R.L. set capital by agreement among the partners. We right-size it with you rather than inflating it for appearances.
Corporate income tax and VAT, registered with DNIT. Paraguay applies a territorial principle, so genuinely foreign-source income is treated differently from local income — we map this to your case in the brief.
Yes. We prepare the bank onboarding file and introduce you, and we can run monthly accounting and filings so the company stays compliant from day one.
