Trusted guidance for international clients navigating Mexico
The problem
Doing business in Mexico is complex. Getting answers shouldn't be.
Expensive and slow
Traditional law firms charge $300–$800/hr for questions you need answered today. Simple due diligence takes weeks.
Everything is in Spanish. Built for Mexicans.
Most Mexican legal resources assume you speak the language and already know the system. Foreign founders are left guessing.
Generic advice. No real guidance.
Generic blog posts tell you what is possible. They never tell you what to actually do, in what order, or who to call.

Use cases
Questions real clients ask.
“Can a US-based LLC own 100% of a Mexican S. de R.L.?”
Yes. Foreign entities can hold 100% of a Mexican S. de R.L. de C.V. through direct or indirect ownership, subject to sectoral restrictions.
“What is a fideicomiso and when is it required?”
A fideicomiso is a bank trust used by foreigners to hold property within restricted zones (50km from coastlines, 100km from borders).
“What visa allows me to work remotely for a foreign company?”
The Residente Temporal visa with permission to conduct lucrative activities is the standard path for remote workers employed abroad.
“Do I need to register with SAT before hiring employees?”
Yes. You must obtain an RFC, register with IMSS, and enroll in the payroll tax system before making the first payroll payment.
“What are the mandatory clauses in a Mexican NDA?”
Mexican NDAs should specify subject matter, duration (max 2 years for non-competes), applicable law, and competent jurisdiction.
“How do we structure a SAFE note under Mexican law?”
SAFEs are not formally recognized by the Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles; most practitioners adapt them as promissory notes with conversion rights.
