Our Firm has created a procedure that will ensure our clients a simple and easy way of setting up a corporation in Costa Rica. As you follow these simple steps, you will be required to mark with a “check” the various options and complete the information that is needed in order to start your incorporation process.

We invite you to register your information through our “Know Your Client” (KYC) form by clicking here
If you do not yet wish to register as a client, we need you to provide us with the following information, which will be used solely for the purpose of setting up your corporation:

Although there are 4 types of mercantile corporations, we offer you the possibility of purchasing or setting up the following:

Our legislation offers you two possibilities for the purpose of naming your corporation. You may use the corporate identification number that is given by the National Register (which never changes) or you may choose a particular name for your company. Although we offer – free of any charge - the service of verifying the possible names you provide us with, this verification itself will not ensure that the proposed name will be accepted by the National Register's Mercantile Section. Nonetheless, this previous verification will allow us to provide you with as many similar options as possible, thus ensuring you a wider range of possibilities. Please note that the general rule is that you may use any name (whether real or fantasy) and in any language you desire, as long as two basic requirements are met: 1). The name can´t be similar to one that is already used by another company and 2.) if the name is in another language other than English, you have to provide us with its literal translation to the Spanish language.

Please provide us with at least three possibilities by including them in the spaces that appear below. We will verify the name and will inform you about our results within the next 48 hours.
Name (in original language) Spanish Translation
