For foreign investors, income from affiliated companies is aggregated, which may place the company above this threshold and subject it to the General Regime.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of services do you offer?

NSS is a full-service legal and accounting firm specializing in foreign companies looking to operate in Chile. We assist you at every stage: company incorporation, legal representation, bank account opening, monthly accounting, tax declarations, payroll, and international tax advisory. All from a single platform, with a dedicated team and 100% digital processes.

Is it necessary to travel to Chile to open my company?

No, you don't need to set foot in Chile. The entire process is 100% remote. You sign a digital Power of Attorney (PoA) via DocuSign and we coordinate the whole process for you: company incorporation, bank account opening and operational setup. In 14 days your company is incorporated and operational, without you taking a single flight.

How long does the incorporation process take?

The standard timeline is 14 days from PoA signing to having your company operating with an active bank account. The breakdown:Days 1-3: legal drafts and digital signing
Days 4-7: company incorporation
Days 8-10: tax and accounting setup
Days 11-14: bank account opening

Do you offer a registered office and/or tax address?

Yes. Our Virtual Office at Cerro El Plomo 5855, Las Condes (Santiago's financial heart) is accepted by the SII and Chilean banks as a valid tax address. It includes mail reception, management of legal notifications by our team of lawyers, and digital forwarding of documents to your email. It's free for the first year when you contract our accounting service.

Do you offer accounting and payroll services?

Legally, there is no minimum capital required in Chile to incorporate a company (SpA or Ltda.). In practice, we recommend starting with an amount sufficient to cover the first 3-6 months of operation (rent, salaries, marketing, fixed expenses). We help you define the ideal amount based on your business plan during the initial no-cost diagnostic.

What does it mean that you act as legal representatives?

Chilean law requires every company to have a legal representative with a Chilean ID card. If you don't have someone you trust in Chile, our partner lawyers act as your company's legal representatives for a fixed monthly fee. This lets you operate legally without residing in Chile: we take on the fiduciary responsibility, with professional backing and civil liability insurance included.

How does your pricing work?

We work with a hybrid model and transparent pricing: One-time payment at incorporation: a closed fixed fee for incorporating your company
‍
- Monthly fees for ongoing services: legal representation (fixed monthly fee)
- Accounting (based on size and activity)
- Payroll (based on the number of employees)
‍
Everything is billed periodically with clear rates from the start. No hidden charges. Check the Plans section above or book a call for a personalized quote for your case.

Can I open a bank account without being a resident?

Yes. Our process includes bank account opening management as part of the incorporation service. We work with the main Chilean banks  and, based on your profile, we connect you with the one that best suits your industry and expected volume.
