Setting up your business in Panama

The Republic of Panama is the southernmost country of Central America. Situated on the isthmus connecting North and South America, it is bordered by Costa Rica to the northwest, Colombia to the southeast, the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south. The capital of the Republic of Panama is Panama City.
Why choose Panama when starting a business?

Panama companies are created under the General Corporation Law, Law 32 of February 26, 1927. Law 32 has been used as a model for many other jurisdictions and ensures the legal framework to conduct legitimate business activities in the international arena. Many choose Panama to start a busin­­ess since it is considered one of the most stable governments in Latin America. Its stability is due to the fact that the government has three branches that offer a system of checks and balances similar to the U.S Federal Government. In addition, the Panama Canal puts Panama in contact with governments and organizations from all over the world.

The corporation law of the Republic of Panama provides that any two natural persons acting as the organizers and the subscribers may appear before a Notary Public to organize and constitute a corporation.
