What is an S. de R.L. de C.V.?
The Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada de Capital Variable is a Mexican limited liability company structure. When comparing it with an S.A. de C.V., consider how the members will hold interests, who will manage the business and how ownership might change.
Ownership and management
Discuss who will hold membership interests, who will manage the company and how you want to handle future transfers.
Your planned operations
Identify whether you plan to invoice locally, hire workers, sell online, or import and export. These activities help determine which registrations and services to review.
Company setup beyond incorporation
Plan for an RFC tax ID, e.firma, a tax address and a local representative alongside the company documents.
Planning steps
From company planning to registration
Define the company structure
Review ownership, governance, proposed activities and potential company names.
Prepare the incorporation documents
Gather ownership records and powers of attorney. Identify foreign documents that may need apostilles or other authentication, then review the articles and bylaws.
Coordinate incorporation
Plan signature, formalization and registration of the company documents. Review any foreign investment registration that applies.
Plan tax and operating setup
Plan the RFC and e.firma, confirm the address and representation arrangements, and identify documentation for the bank’s review.
