Doing business in Colombia as a foreigner

Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Colombia?

Yes. Foreigners can own 100% of a Colombian company (most commonly an SAS) in nearly all sectors, without a local partner. We handle the incorporation and the registration of your foreign investment.

Do I need to be in Colombia to open a company?

No. We can incorporate and register your company through a power of attorney granted at a consulate or apostilled, so you can complete the whole process from abroad.

Can I buy property in Colombia as a foreigner?

Yes. Foreigners can buy real estate in Colombia with essentially the same rights as nationals. We run the title study and due diligence and handle the closing to keep your purchase safe.

How do I register foreign investment?

Foreign capital entering Colombia is registered through the exchange market with the Banco de la República. Proper registration protects your rights to remit profits and repatriate capital. We manage it for you.

Does forming a company give me a visa?

Owning or investing in a Colombian company can support certain visa categories, but requirements apply. We coordinate the corporate setup with the visa route that fits your situation.
