Octagona Ltd./Services/Corporate Constitutions

Corporate Constitutions

Foreign company formation is the process by which a company or entrepreneur decides to open a new company outside its home country in order to start or consolidate business, production or logistics activities in international markets.

This operation is not limited to simply opening a VAT number abroad: it involves strategic, tax, legal, logistical and operational choices that profoundly affect the success of the international project. It is a crucial step that requires vision, expertise and full mastery of local regulations.

Peculiarities of corporate incorporation abroad

  • Choice of legal form: each country offers different types of companies (e.g., LLC, GmbH, S.A., Pte Ltd), each with specific requirements in terms of capital, governance, liability, and taxation.
  • Tax and regulatory aspects: it is critical to understand the impact of the local tax system, any double taxation agreements, and regulations on labor, dividend transfer, and compliance.
  • Time and procedures: bureaucratic processes, permits, tax registrations and opening bank accounts require specific skills and knowledge of local practices.
  • Post-establishment administrative management: from accounting to taxation, from personnel management to regulatory compliance, each foreign office requires structured governance.
