Permits to start operating in Mexico

If your company comes from abroad, we help you identify and manage the permits and licenses your operation needs in Mexico.

This is for you if…

  • You will open a plant, office, store or operations center in Mexico.
  • You want to know which permits your activity and location require before committing.
  • You already have a Mexican entity and are missing permits to operate.

How we help

Viability of your location and activity

We review regulatory feasibility, land use and the regulatory risks of your activity, sector and location before you invest.

Licenses and notices to operate

We manage the permits your operation may require: operating, civil protection, health and environmental, depending on your case.

Inquiries to authorities

We bring your questions to the competent authorities to define the path.

Follow-up until you hold your documents

We accompany you from planning until the final document.

Every borough, municipality and state has its own rules. That is why we review your specific case before telling you what applies.

Compliance and anti-corruption

All of our services are provided in accordance with Mexican anti-corruption law and with the foreign laws that apply to companies with international operations, in particular the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). We know your company answers to its own compliance policies, and we work so that the management of your permits and licenses in Mexico respects them.

Policies and procedures for managing permits and licenses

If you need it, we draft your company's internal policies and procedures for obtaining and managing permits and licenses in Mexico: who requests them, who approves them, how each procedure is documented and how to work with agents and other third parties, aligned with your compliance and anti-corruption requirements.

We focus on regulatory permits and licenses. Company formation and tax or immigration procedures are outside our scope.
