Setting up a Holding Company in Panama

Panama Advantages

By establishing a holding company in Panama, you can access benefits such as straightforward shareholder registration, a simplified incorporation process, and reduced costs for taxes, labor, and renewal fees.

As the parent entity, the holding company is responsible for overseeing the operations, policies, and managerial decisions of its subsidiary companies. However, it typically does not engage in the day-to-day activities of its subsidiaries, even if it owns them entirely.

Holding companies and their subsidiaries can take various forms, including Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), limited partnerships, or corporations.

Panama Holding Company
Advantages

Exemption from taxes on foreign income;
No obligation to file tax returns or submit financial statements to a public registry, as required in the United States or Belize;
Lower expenses compared to alternative jurisdictions such as the Bahamas or Dubai.
Foreign individuals can serve as founders and directors, although many clients opt for disclosed founders and directors to maintain privacy. Additionally, the beneficiary of a Panama corporation may also be a foreign entity;
Formation of the company can be completed remotely without the need to travel to Panama, all through online channels. The registration process is swift and manageable via online platforms;
Option to issue bearer shares, despite potential inconveniences with banks and financial institutions. While primarily utilized for holding companies, Panama uniquely allows for the issuance of both bearer shares and registered shares, enhancing its attractiveness as a hub for international business endeavors.
Another noteworthy aspect is that to establish a company in Panama, the required share capital is minimal and does not necessitate depositing funds in a Panamanian bank account, streamlining the company formation procedure.
