A Latin American subsidiary under your existing legal entity
If you already have a legal entity in Poland, the UAE, or another country, we open a subsidiary under it. Ownership stays inside your existing structure.
Who it's for
- Sellers who already have a foreign legal entity and an established ownership structure.
- Sellers who need the Latin American company to belong to a parent structure rather than to an individual.
- Sellers planning several trading companies in the region.
How it works
We review your structure
We look at where ownership sits most conveniently and how payments between the companies will flow.
We prepare the parent company's documents
Legalization, apostille, translation — the exact set depends on the country.
We register the subsidiary
Registration, tax ID, importer status.
Bank account and platform
Bank account, Mercado Pago, seller account.
Management
As with your own company, the legal representative until you are present in the country is Alexey.
What you get
- Ownership stays inside your existing structure.
- Consolidating reporting across several countries is simpler.
- A ready base for moving to a network with a management company.
What it costs
The cost depends on the parent company's jurisdiction and on the set of documents required. We calculate it during the initial consultation, before any work begins.
Taxes: taxes are paid by the subsidiary; settlements with the parent structure are defined in advance.
Tax residency at home: when CFC obligations arise and when they don't
Worth settling before the contract, not after the first payout. The answer depends on the scheme.
Obligations do arise
Here the company is registered in your name or under your structure. If you remain a tax resident of your own country, a procedure appears that has to be followed: notifying the tax authority of your participation in a foreign organization, and from then on reporting under the controlled foreign company (CFC) rules. This is not a ban and not a catch — it simply follows from the fact that you now own a foreign asset. The exact rules depend on your country of residence, and we go through them with a tax adviser before the contract, not after.
All cross-border trade payments run through us: we pay for logistics and customs, collect and repatriate the revenue from the platform, and hand you the profit — in US dollars, SWIFT transfer or crypto (USDT), as agreed. Cross-border payments for goods, freight, and customs are on us: you do not open accounts abroad and do not deal with payment routing.
Disclaimer. This is not tax advice and we do not replace a tax adviser. The specific obligations, deadlines, and amounts are worked out for your situation — we introduce you to an adviser while you're choosing the scheme.

When opening a subsidiary makes sense
If you already have an operating legal entity outside Latin America — in Poland, the UAE, Kazakhstan, or another country — the company in Latin America can be opened not in the name of an individual but under that entity. The new company then becomes a subsidiary, and both ownership and cash flows stay inside your existing structure.
The practical benefit comes down to three things. First, profit from the country of sale can be distributed within the group without immediately paying it out to an individual. Second, the parent company can finance the purchase of goods directly, without intermediate transfers. Third, the structure looks clearer to banks and counterparties than a company registered to a private individual with no track record.
The process is the same as registration in an individual's name: preparing and legalizing the parent company's documents, registering the subsidiary, obtaining the tax ID and importer status, opening the bank account, setting up the seller account, and putting bookkeeping in place. The difference lies in the document set and the timeline, both determined by the parent company's jurisdiction — which is why we quote each case individually.
Before we start, we look at how the two tax systems interact: how the parent company's country taxes dividends from Latin America, and whether a double taxation treaty exists between the two countries. Sometimes it turns out that registering the company directly in the owner's name is the better option — and we say so before you pay for the registration.
