forming a Costa Rica corporation

[tjaill]

I have recently purchased property in Ojochal and am having it put into a corporation. I will be forming a new corporation, and I am wondering how long this process should take.

You have a couple of senarios…

1) Find a lawyer or company that have preformed on the shelf corporations

2) Apply with a lawyer and it will take 30 to 90 days

There is a company in CR that will form a corporation in 30 days for $395.

My lawyer is in Cartigo and it took about 45 days and $300 to form our S.A.

I have a property in Uvita. I bought it while visiting but had to return to the states before everything was finalized. It took about 6-8 weeks for the corporation to be set up, but some of that time was due to mailing paperwork back and forth (both mine and the previous owners, also in the states)to San Isidro de General, where my lawyer is. DHL’s fastest service took 4-5 days and cost about $90. I don’t think any express courier makes it to Dominical or farther south, so plan accordingly if needed.

Ojochal is a beautiful village! Very friendly ex-pat community, as you no doubt have found out. Dining at Exotica is always a highlight (wonderful French owners and cuisine) of my visits, and Franks’ French bakery makes the jungle a pretty civilized place. Enjoy…
