Your Colombian company, incorporated and ready to invoice.

Yes. Most foreign shareholders never travel for the incorporation. You sign a power of attorney before a notary in your country, have it apostilled and courier it. The firm files everything in Colombia. Opening the bank account is the only step where some banks still ask for a video call or an in-person visit.

An S.A.S. has no legal minimum capital. In practice the capital should be enough to fund the first months of operation, and it must be realistic if you intend to use the company to support a visa application, where a capital threshold does apply. We set the figure with your plan, not with a default.

Yes. A foreigner can be both shareholder and legal representative of a Colombian S.A.S. A legal representative who is resident in Colombia is not required by law, though some banks prefer one for account opening, and the role carries personal tax and compliance duties we explain before you accept it.

Our fee is quoted in writing after a free call, because it depends on the number of shareholders, whether documents come from abroad and whether you need the bank and invoicing set up at the same time. Third-party costs — Chamber of Commerce registration, notary and apostille — are itemised separately and paid at cost.

The SIMPLE regime taxes gross income at a consolidated rate; the ordinary regime taxes profit at 35%. SIMPLE usually wins when margins are high or costs are hard to document, and loses when margins are thin. We model both with your projected numbers before you register, because the election window closes on the last business day of February.
