Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries about Panama corporation formation costs and our service packages

Our Basic package ($1,499) covers all fundamentals for establishing a Panama Corporation (S.A.): Public Registry filing fees, first-year Annual Franchise Tax (Tasa Única), Articles of Incorporation drafting and notarization, resident agent and registered office for year one, Law 129 beneficial owner compliance, worldwide courier delivery of your corporate documents, and complimentary Airwallex account setup assistance. The Premium package ($2,399) builds on this with expedited 3-4 day processing, a corporate seal, physical Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Incumbency, Certificate of Good Standing (Certificado de Vigencia), plus full notarization and apostille authentication. Enterprise pricing is customized for intricate corporate arrangements and specialized needs.

For straightforward formations where you won't need your Panama corporation recognized by third parties—like banks or international platforms—the Basic package delivers everything required to legally establish your S.A. But if you anticipate needing certified documentation for banking relationships or cross-border transactions, Premium is the smarter choice. It bundles commonly requested certifications like the Certificado de Vigencia and apostilled documents at a package rate, sparing you from ordering them separately later. Knowing your Panama company formation cost from the outset helps you budget appropriately.

Premium encompasses the complete Basic offering plus essential certifications that banks and international counterparties routinely demand. You'll receive a Certificate of Incumbency confirming your directors and officers, a Certificate of Good Standing from the Public Registry, and apostille authentication valid across all Hague Convention nations. Ordering these documents individually post-formation typically costs substantially more—Premium saves you approximately US$500 while delivering faster turnaround. For entrepreneurs planning to conduct international business through their Panama S.A., this package represents the strongest value proposition.

Enterprise is designed for clients with requirements beyond conventional incorporation. This includes sophisticated multi-entity ownership structures, nominee director or shareholder arrangements for added confidentiality, bespoke Articles of Incorporation tailored to specific governance provisions, rush processing for time-critical situations, and coordinated formation across multiple jurisdictions. Enterprise clients also benefit from dedicated support for complex or unusual corporate matters. Reach out to discuss your particular circumstances—we'll provide a customized proposal.

No—we've included the first year's Annual Franchise Tax (USD $300) in all our packages. This mandatory payment to Panama's Public Registry keeps your corporation in active status. From year two onward, this becomes an annual obligation due each year to maintain good standing. We'll remind you well ahead of renewal deadlines so your corporation never lapses into non-compliance.

None whatsoever. Straightforward pricing is fundamental to how we do business. The amount displayed is the amount you pay—no concealed charges or unexpected add-ons. Our Panama incorporation packages are designed as complete solutions, giving you clarity and confidence. We're committed to fostering lasting client relationships, which means being forthright about costs from the very beginning. Every expense is itemized upfront.

Upgrading your package or adding supplementary services is always possible—just get in touch with us, and we'll accommodate based on where your order stands. Downgrades aren't feasible, however, since certain commitments will already have been made on your behalf—including legal fees and government charges already submitted to the Public Registry. We suggest selecting the package that aligns with your foreseeable requirements from the start to avoid any complications.

Bank wire transfer is our preferred method for paying your Panama corporation setup cost, as it ensures the smoothest processing. We also welcome debit and credit card payments if that's more convenient. Cryptocurrency isn't currently accepted. After you confirm your order, we'll send an invoice with comprehensive payment instructions.

Our rates are fixed. If you've compared providers, you'll notice our Panama company formation cost ranks among the most competitive available—without sacrificing service quality. We've structured our pricing to be fair and sustainable, avoiding the gimmicks or bait-and-switch approaches common elsewhere. This consistency allows us to deliver reliable, professional service throughout your corporation's lifetime. That's why we maintain our published rates.
