FAQ
Can a U.S. company own 100% of a Mexican company? In most industries, yes. Some sectors are subject to foreign-investment limits or approvals, and foreign investment must be registered. We confirm the rules for your activity before you incorporate or acquire.
Do we need a Mexican legal representative? Yes. Your Mexican entity acts through individuals holding powers of attorney granted before a Mexican notary. We draft powers tailored to banking, tax, labor and litigation needs.
