Constitución de una empresa en Chile

DESPLACE LA TABLA HORIZONTALMENTE

Importante: el derecho de un no residente a ser titular de la empresa no concede automáticamente el derecho a vivir, trabajar o dirigirla desde ese país. La inmigración, el permiso de trabajo, la sustancia, la dirección efectiva y la residencia fiscal se evalúan por separado.

• —Technology, services, e-commerce and regional sales with a genuine Chile/Latin America business nexus.
• —A single-owner startup/subsidiary for which a flexible SpA suits future investors and share classes.
• —A closely held partnership-like business through a Ltda or larger corporate governance through a closed/open S.A.

• —A Sociedad por Acciones (SpA), a flexible share company permitting one shareholder and later investors/classes.
• —A Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (Ltda), a closely held partners' company with limited liability and a more restricted transfer regime.
• —A Sociedad Anónima (S.A.), closed or open, a board-governed share corporation; open/regulated cases have an additional securities perimeter.
• —An Empresa Individual de Responsabilidad Limitada (EIRL), a single-natural-person form without a co-owner structure.
• —An agency/branch of a foreign company, the Chilean establishment of an existing overseas entity.

• —A foreign investor may own 100% of a Chilean company; no local shareholder is required unless the activity has a special restriction.
• —A non-resident individual/entity obtains a RUT and appoints an adult natural-person legal/tax representative domiciled/resident in Chile.
• —RES/Tu Empresa en un Día supports electronic formation, but signatures require a Chilean RUT and an eligible advanced e-signature or notarial execution.
• —The company states a Chilean address, purpose/activities, capital, ownership, administration and representative powers.
• —After formation, Inicio de Actividades and tax registrations are filed with SII; a municipal patent, payroll and sector licences follow operations.

• —A passport or other acceptable ID for every founder, director, manager, signatory and ultimate beneficial owner (UBO).
• —Proof of residential address and tax residence; the registrar, agent, bank or other reviewer sets the document-validity period.
• —A transparent ownership chart through to natural persons and, for a corporate participant, registry documents, good standing and authorised resolutions.
• —A description of the product, markets, counterparties, expected turnover, source of funds and source of wealth, supported by evidence.
• —The name, Chilean address, corporate purpose, duration, capital/shares or quotas, shareholders/partners and administrator/board.
• —The RES electronic deed/bylaws or traditional public/private instrument and registry/publication documents as applicable.
• —Apostilled/legalised foreign entity/power-of-attorney documents and Spanish translation; RUT and Chile representative acceptance/details.
• —SII activity/address evidence, capital-contribution support and municipal/sector licensing documents.

1. 01Select an SpA, Ltda, S.A., EIRL or branch based on owners, fundraising, governance, tax and regulatory needs.
2. 02A non-resident obtains a RUT, appoints a Chile-resident representative and approves the power-of-attorney/apostille/translation route.
3. 03Prepare and execute an RES electronic constitution or use the traditional notarial/registry route for a bespoke structure.
4. 04File SII Inicio de Actividades and establish electronic invoicing/accounting and municipal/licensing/payroll obligations.
5. 05Bank/EMI onboarding begins after the RUT, entity and tax file, representative authority and business-evidence preparation.

• —The Chilean corporate regime, provisional payments, final-owner taxation and available elections depend on company size, owners and current tax rules.
• —VAT, payroll/social security, municipal patents, withholding and customs apply according to products, services, employees and cross-border flows.
• —Foreign-owner dividends, interest, royalties/services and treaty benefits require withholding, beneficial-owner and transfer-pricing analysis.

Resumen general, no asesoramiento fiscal o jurídico personalizado. Las normas se vuelven a comprobar antes de la presentación.

• —InvestChile identifies the corporate bank account as a separate key stage after legal/tax setup.
• —A bank reviews the RUT, formation/bylaws, representative/signatories, UBOs, tax start, Chile nexus, contracts, source of funds and expected flows.
• —Some providers require local/in-person action; company registration and representative appointment do not guarantee an account.

• —Statutory accounting, annual/monthly tax returns, electronic invoicing and SII information filings according to regime/activity.
• —Shareholder/partner and board/administrator decisions, the share register and corporate amendments maintained under the selected form.
• —Municipal patents, permits, payroll/social-security and sector renewals according to actual operations.
• —RUT, legal-representative, address, ownership/UBO and foreign-investment data are updated upon applicable changes.

• —RES electronic formation without RUT/signature/representative planning is not a fully remote solution for a new foreign founder.
• —Using a nominal resident representative without genuine authority, a control framework and compliance creates tax, governance and banking risk.
• —Incorporation does not conceal ownership or disapply AML/KYC. Registered agents, registries, tax authorities and financial institutions may obtain and verify UBO information.
• —The place of incorporation does not automatically determine tax residence. Effective management, permanent establishment, CFC, withholding and the owners' personal residence require separate analysis.
• —Company registration does not grant a regulated-activity licence, immigration status or a bank account.

• —Coordination of the foreign RUT, Chile-resident representative, RES/notary, SII and municipal/accounting hand-off.
• —Comparison of entity forms, ownership structure, tax links and substance requirements before filing.
• —Coordination of the registered agent, notary or local representative, translations, apostille and the complete corporate file.
• —Preparation of a bank-ready KYB data room and responses to legitimate compliance requests; approval and timing remain with the bank or EMI.
• —Accountant hand-off and creation of an annual-return, BO, tax, licence and substance compliance calendar.
