1. What is a Registered Office Address?

   A Registered Office Address is the physical space where your business activities are carried out, whether it is a commercial place or an office. It is not necessary that the company owns it, it can be leased at an office or commercial building, depending on the business activity.

2. Why is it important?

   The registered office address is an important step in the creation of a company since it represents the taxpayer-tax authority relationship. Also, the inclusion of an office address within the articles of incorporation of a company is required to register your company in Latin America.

   This address is not only the place where the authority will notify administrative resolutions that may affect in favor or against the company’s operations. However, it will also allow the tax authority to validate that your company is actually established in the declared place and that its main activity is carried out there.

   Furthermore, according to the place where the domicile is established, you will have to pay the obligatory taxes and in some cases, you will have to obtain operating licenses if certain activities are carried out at said address.

3. What are the requirements to register an Office Address in Latin America?

   A Registered Office Address must comply with the following requirements. Depending on the business and country, these can vary:

   • The actual documentation of the accounting entries and records.

   • Accounting and other papers that prove compliance with the tax provisions.

   • If applicable, it must have its own goods or commodities in accordance with the activity in which they have been registered.
