Incorporate in Panama: advantages 

Pro-business environment

As the home of the Panama Canal, Panama’s history is strongly tied to business development. This country has had many pro-business governments that boosted the economy and provided solid financial frameworks. Thus, Panama company formation has become accessible and profitable.

The said tendency has been particularly clear and strong for the past 20 years after Panama got the administration of the canal. Since then, we have seen this city grow from a small rural town to a world-class center. This resulted in improved infrastructure, the creation of international schools, and a boom in the real estate market. 

Territorial taxes

Panama company registration becomes more attractive when you consider the tax advantages it brings. Our favorite one is that the country has a territorial taxation regime. In simple words, this means that companies are not taxable for the income generated abroad. This makes Panama the perfect soil for international companies to grow. Many of them establish their operational centers here to reduce the tax burden. 

Moreover, the country has established free economic zones for registering a company in Panama. These come with important benefits like the simplification of work visas and tax incentives. 

Dollar-based economy 

The local currency is the Balboa which has a 1:1 exchange rate with the US dollar. Actually, the Balboa is only issued in coins and the USD is the legal tender being used for transactions in everyday life. 

International companies should not overlook this fact as it simplifies international transactions. You won’t have to pay exchange rates nor be subject to exchange restrictions. 

Flexibility and straightforwardness

Setting up a company in Panama brings many advantages, and simplicity is one of them. Its flexible corporate legislation makes it ideal for offshore companies. For instance, there are no restrictions regarding the share capital, and paid-up capital is not mandatory. These structures allow for all kinds of shares: voting, non-voting, and per-value shares. In line with this, the company’s key players can live in any country and have any nationality. This applies to shareholders, directors, and officers. 

Solid banking 

When it comes to banking, Panama is the best sector in the region. It works under the principles of Basel and has over 90 institutions including foreign banks. Since it doesn’t have a central bank, the sector is regulated by the National Banking Commission, which recorded profits of 1.8 billion dollars in 2017. The commission is responsible for the fast growth of the industry which was supported by excellent services and state-of-the-art technology. Needless to say that online banking is top-notch which makes it really easy to manage accounts from abroad. Account-holders can transfer, check their balances, and invest even if they are not in Panama at that moment.
