Argentine Company Formation for International Investors

The decision depends on how many investors there will be, whether new investors are expected, how management and control should be organised, any sector-specific regulation, and the registry where the company will be incorporated. Each type has different minimum requirements and governance rules, which should be compared against the project rather than chosen by default.

A foreign company that will hold shares in an Argentine company generally must register with the competent registry, evidencing its existence, its representatives and, frequently, its beneficial owners. Individual foreign shareholders need identity documents, tax identification and an address for notices in Argentina.

Forming a company does not of itself qualify as an investment for the citizenship program unless the applicable rules so provide. But for investors planning business activities, structuring the company, the funds and the citizenship file together avoids contradictions — for instance, between the declared source of funds and the capitalisation of the company.
