1. Hello, I am a US citizen looking to purchase an existing business in Mexico that has been in operation for 12 years with positive cash flow. I am having difficulty securing a business loan in the US for a business venture in Mexico. Do you have any recommendations for where I would be able to secure a loan for $400-500k USD? Thanks, David Question from David Toll on 16/03/2022

   Mario says:

   Hello,
   To request a loan in Mexico, most of the banks and private institutions, request a guarantee of a property or an asset.
   
   Additionally, Audited Financial Statements of the business and the tax compliance.
   
   Let me know, if I can be of any further assistance,

2. Hello, My business is 1-Shoppe and we sell hotel amenities, (little soaps, shampoos, and accessories for vacation rentals, hotels, motels, etc). We sell mostly on Amazon and are looking to expand from operations only in the USA to Mexico as well. We were advised that we need to have a mexican company as our importer of record. My wife is a dual USA/Mexico citizen so I know that she can start a Mexican LLC to be our importer or record. Can you advise if that is what we need and help us with the set up of the LLC so that we can import our products to be sold on Amazon? Steve Rolle Question from Stephen Rollw on 04/04/2020

   Mario says:

   Sure Steve, I can help.
   Your wife could be the taxes representative of the company, and that will speed up the process to open your company in Mexico.
   
   Also, it is great to have your own comapny in Mexico, due there are new withholding taxes (sale tax and income tax) for Digital Platforms like Amazon, and having your own Mexican Tax ID, will help to sell to your lasst consumer to keep the prices down.

7. Good afternoon, sir...my husband and I own a retail business in Texas set up as a sole proprietorship in my husbands' name. We are US citizens and my husband is applying for dual citizenship with Mexico. We are wanting to open another retail shop just like it, but as a mobile retail business in Playa del Carmen. The business will be an enclosed, furnished trailer that can be taken anywhere to set up shop each day. What steps should we take to document and license the business in Mexico? If you are able to contact us for more details, that would be preferable. Also, we are wondering what reporting requirements exist and what insurance may be required. Thank you in advance for any information you may be able to provide. Question from Stefanie Medina on 10/05/2019

   Requirements ans insurance, depends on what products are you willing to sell.

12. I've been getting conflicting info, please help. When opening a new business in Mexico, as US citizens, do we open the business first or apply for work visas first? A notary advised we must have work visa first, but we need the business to get the visas, right? Question from Holly Horsman on 07/08/2018

    Mario says:

    Yes. First you will need to have the business/company up and running. What kind of business are you planning?
    
    I am not sure what minimum do you refer to. Can you explain?
    
    For the working visa you do not need any income, just the paperwork of the company. For an investor visa you will need proof of funds. For stockholder you do not need proof of funds.

Question from Jake Dansie on 11/01/2018

    Hola, buenas tardes, in my opinion, if you are going to export, the best route is to open an LLC in Mexico. It is important to mention that you will need a physical address for the LLC.

22. Hello - My husband and I would like to move to Mexico to start up a restaurant in 2018. Would it be more cost effective to incorporate the LLC for the restaurant after we move there? What's the fees (including legal) if we form the business from Canada or in Mexico? #2. We plan on applying for a temporary resident visa from the consulate in Toronto, Canada but in terms of obtaining a work permit to be able to work at the restaurant, can that be obtained when we're in Mexico or does that have to be done from Canada? We're looking for the most cost effective way as our savings is budgeted for the business. Please let us know your opinion for the best approach. Thank you, Stephanie Question from Stephanie T on 16/12/2017

    Mario says:

    Yes. Because, you will sign the incorporation of the LLC, that way you avoid to write Powers of Attorney and apostille/attested of documents..
    If you form the business from Mexico, you will avoid to write Powers of Attorney.
    What city are you planning to open the restaurant?
    It can be obtained when you are in Mexico, but at some point, it will be requested for you to go back to Canada and then return to Mexico.
    The LLC needs at leat 2 stockholders.
    What nationality are the stockholders? Where do they were born (birth certificate)?

37. Hello, Mr. Mario. My name is Miguel and I am from Brazil. I wish to set up a game development company with a partner from Mexico (currently with just the two of us). We concluded that Mexico presents a more friendly business environment than Brazil, so we intend to make the business based off of Mexico. We are not entirely sure how to start this process and would like to know how we would go about setting up such a business with both of us as co-owners (considering I am not a mexican resident). Thank you for your time. Question from Miguel Passos on 05/05/2017

    Mario says:

    The FIRST step, is to incorporate the Mexican Company. For this, I can provide my advice for the procedure and consult with the Notary.
    
    Then, assure the registration of the corporation in the IRS and if you are planning to have employees to register the company withthe Social Security. At the same time, you could open your bank account.
    
    My acccounting firm can take care of electronic invoicing, electronic accounting, taxes, bookkeeping and payroll.
    
    You will need a physical address, which could be your offices or a virtual office.
    
    Let me know if you have any specific questions. Or you can call me at +52-55-5677-2708 or schedule skype: zaldivar00 or e-mail to mzaldivar@zaldivarconsulting.mx

Acting as Import & Export Agent we are looking to expand our business to Mexico we would love to work with some freight forwarders or importers in Mexico whenever they have any exportation that needs customs clearing in Nigeria so we can be their partner in Nigeria and they will be our partner in their country, or if we can set up a branch in Mexico but as we are a new company and a sole proprietorship I don’t think we can afford the funding for now. Please what do you think we can do to accomplish that, as we really want to expand our business globally. Question from BABATUNDE AGBOOLA on 08/03/2017

39. Hola Mario, I am working on a proposal to set up an office for a U.K university in Mexico. Essentially the idea would be for me to be there and help promote the university in terms of recruitment, exchanges, partnerships. I plan to be based in Mexico City but would also travel around Latin America from time to time for promotional activities. I need to give the university a figure as to how much this would cost ... I would also like to know how you recommend it is setup, i.e what kind of business entity it would be? Other than my own income there would be no income generated from the venture, unless a student from Latin America decides to study at the university, but those fees would be paid to the U.K university. All I would really need is an office to be based (renting, not purchased) for visits and to work from. And other than that I would be out doing promotional activites etc but based in Mexico and Latin America primarily. I would also like to ask you how the taxation system would work? If I am working for a U.K university in Mexico can I assume that I would pay Mexican taxes? And what would be the responsibilites of my employer in the U.K to pay social security? Also, it is likely that there will be some time in which I spend working in the U.K, perhaps 2 out of every 12 months I will be based in the U.K working/visiting home, and therefore I don't know whether that complicates matters in terms of residency and taxation. I realise this is a strange one as there is no real income generated other than students going to study in the U.K and I am more like PR specialist in this role but any advice of the procedure and costs with regards to the context of the proposal would be very much appreciated! Thank you very much Question from Andrew Fleming on 11/02/2017

    Mario says:

    My answers:
    
    I need to give the university a figure as to how much this would cost ...
    >>> To create the office of representation, my fees will be USD$1,000.00 plus 16% tax. It does not include the notary fees.
    
    I would also like to know how you recommend it is setup, i.e what kind of business entity it would be?
    >>>A representation office.
    
    Other than my own income there would be no income generated from the venture, unless a student from Latin America decides to study at the university, but those fees would be paid to the U.K university. All I would really need is an office to be based (renting, not purchased) for visits and to work from.
    >>> You could consider a virtual office, it all depends on your budget.
    
    And other than that I would be out doing promotional activites etc but based in Mexico and Latin America primarily. I would also like to ask you how the taxation system would work?
    >>>It is used a tariff based on your income.
    
    If I am working for a U.K university in Mexico can I assume that I would pay Mexican taxes?
    >>> Yes. If you spend more than 180 days in Mexico in one year, then you will have to pay taxes in Mexico.
    
    And what would be the responsibilites of my employer in the U.K to pay social security?
    >>>None. The office of representation in Mexico will be the responsible to pay your social security in Mexico. For this process, you will need to get a working visa.
    
    Also, it is likely that there will be some time in which I spend working in the U.K, perhaps 2 out of every 12 months I will be based in the U.K working/visiting home, and therefore I don't know whether that complicates matters in terms of residency and taxation.
    >>> No. It does not complicate your situation. You can travel anytime.
    
    >>> Our monthly fees for doing the formats for the IRS of the representation office are USD$350.00 plus 16% tax.

42. Hola Mario! I would like to know if the following is possible. I am a Canadian who wants to start a photography business in Mexico. As a foreigner, I can start a business here in Mexico with a Notario Publico, correct? And then in order for me to work for the business I need to have the business issue a letter offering employment to myself, yes? Am I able to write this letter myself, legally speaking, or should I have someone else write it? What I am not quite clear on is, according to Mexican labor law Article 7: - In any enterprise or establishment, at least 90% of workers hired by the employer must be Mexican. - This article shall not apply to directors, administrators or general managers. Am I correct in assuming that if the offer of employment from my business is for one of the three positions listed as not applying to article 7 there should be no issue with me obtaining permission to work for my business. Also, in your opinion, what would be the best form for such a business: as Comerciante, persona fisica, some form of partnership or limited liability company. Another question is how does one qualify for a Comerciante persona fisica? Thanks so much! Question from Blaine Milne on 26/11/2016

    Mario says:

    Hola,
    I am a Canadian who wants to start a photography business in Mexico. As a foreigner, I can start a business here in Mexico with a Notario Publico, correct?
    Yes, if you are creating a company, and you will need a legal representative in Mexico with Power of Attorney
    
    And then in order for me to work for the business I need to have the business issue a letter offering employment to myself, yes?
    Actually the legal representative will sign the letter
    
    Am I able to write this letter myself, legally speaking, or should I have someone else write it?
    Someone else, the legal representative
    
    What I am not quite clear on is, according to Mexican labor law Article 7: - In any enterprise or establishment, at least 90% of workers hired by the employer must be Mexican. - This article shall not apply to directors, administrators or general managers. Am I correct in assuming that if the offer of employment from my business is for one of the three positions listed as not applying to article 7 there should be no issue with me obtaining permission to work for my business.
    You are correct
    
    Also, in your opinion, what would be the best form for such a business: as Comerciante, persona fisica, some form of partnership or limited liability company.
    A limited liability company. You will not be able to operate as an independent “persona fisica”
    
    Another question is how does one qualify for a Comerciante persona fisica?
    As a foreigner, you cannot do it.

43. Hello Mario, Myself and 3 others are in the planning stage of opening a hostel in Mexico. On top of providing lodging to guests we'd also like to sell food and alcohol, sell merchandise and provide tours. I have some basic questions about what we need to know for starting a business in Mexico before we go Mexico and begin scouting. 1.) What type of business structure would we be considered? Would we be a corporation or an LLC, etc...? Also what kind of taxes would we be paying? 2.) What types of licenses would we need to get beforehand? 3.) What types of lawyers, attorneys, and accountants should we get in touch with prior to starting our business? 4.) Do we only need Resident Visa to start a business in Mexico? Thank you for your help, Tyler Question from Tyler Faber on 25/11/2016

    Mario says:

    Hi Tyler,
    1.) What type of business structure would we be considered? A Limited Liability Company
    2.) Also what kind of taxes would we be paying? For companies: Income tax 30%. If you have employees: 3% Tax payroll, social security, housing fund, retirement fund, and employees profit sharing (10% of the profits before taxes). Additionally there are 16% VAT, and employees taxes.
    3.) What types of licenses would we need to get beforehand? Alcohol license
    4.) What types of lawyers, attorneys, and accountants should we get in touch with prior to starting our business? I, as an accountant (president of Zaldivar Consulting), and my Notary can help you to create the company and start operations. It involves Taxes Registration, accounting, taxes, invoicing, and payroll
    5.) Do we only need Resident Visa to start a business in Mexico? Yes, but you need to name a Mexican Legal Representative with Power of Attorney to register the company in the Taxes Authorities and act as a representative for any authorities and governmental issues. In this case, I can be your legal representative

48. Mario, I have a client that has a significant manufacturing operation in Mexico working through a shelter. The client has a significant amount of inventory and equipment in Mexico, but as it is working through the shelter is not registered in Mexico. Is it possible for companies working through shelters to borrow lines of credit using their inventory or capital loans collaterilizing their fixed assets from a Mexican bank? Can you refer me to any applicable regulations that I should research? Question from Greg Kahn on 04/05/2016

    Mario says:

    Hi, yes, but it is important to know what will be the loan for, and where is your client from. It might be necessary to have a representative in Mexico.
    I am not sure about the inventory as collateral, but the equipment will work. You will need the original invoice translated into spanish and apostille.
    What kind of inventory do you have?
    Regulations vary according to the bank to which you will be working with.
    Is there any specific reason you want to get a loan from a Mexican Bank?
    I hope you can send your answers, and at the same time let me know if you have additional questions.

55. Hello, we are already registered and operating as a company in Mexico. Lately, we have been told by our own clients that it might be possible to avoid paying Mexican VAT if services are invoiced from the US. in more detail, when our company in Mexico invoices a non-Mexican company for services, is it possible to be exempt of VAT? We have heard that this might be possible if we invoice a US company. Additionally, Would there be any VAT exempt between Mex and Switzerland? Thank you so much Question from Maria Pallares on 18/08/2015

    Mario says:

    Yes. Your company in Mexico can Invoice without VAT, if the service is provided overseas. I mean if the Mexican company provides the service in another country (export services), then VAT should be "0" (Zero)
    This is for any country, the export of services are exempt of VAT
    
    Let me know, if you have any additional questions.

We have reviewed the current financials and expansion opportunities, they are many. This is a great opportunity for us . Can you recommend specific lending agencies to contact for assistance? Please advise. Thank you, Peter Clark Question from peter clark on 28/04/2015

    Mario says:

    Dear Mr. Peter Clark, The best is to ask for a loan in a Bank. Could be Banamex, Bancomer and/or HSBC? Altough, the interest rate could be up to 12% and they will request for a real estate guarantee for the loan.
    
    I will suggest, you get a loan from your home country, it could be easier, and might be cheaper.
    
    Where are you from?
    Are you doing the business by yourself or are you planning to create a Corporation with partners?
    
    Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

    To register a company you have to créate one with a Notary. After having the company you can start processing your business visa.
    
    For creating a company you need at least two stockholders for your company in Mexico, can be companies and/or persons.
    
    What will be the activity of your company in Mexico?

60. Hey, I'm just wondering what are the legal implications of doing business in Mexico. First of all, I'm thinking of expanding a shoe business to Mexico. I will be doing all manufacturing and Marketing in Mexico. Is there anything required by law? How many permits would i need? Question from Tim Jeev on 27/11/2014

    Mario says:

    The shoe business does not requere any different requirements then the regular for any other business.
    First, you have to build a Mexican company, where all could be foreign stockholders.
    Second, you will have to register the company for Taxes purposes with the Taxes Administration
    Third, the company will open a bank account, and register for Electronic Invoicing, Electronic Accounting, and Electronic Payroll
    Fourth, hiring employees will take you to registration for social security, payroll taxes, housing fund, and retirement fund.
    Finally, the coporate taxes are 30% and sales tax is 16%
    Let me know if you have any additional question.
    Warm regards, Mario
