How to Start a Corporation in Ecuador

There are two basic ways to start a business in Ecuador. You can do either without being a legal resident in the country.

First, you could start the Ecuadorian version of a corporation, called a “Sociedad Anonima”. In order to get started, you need to go to the governmental office called the “Superentendencia de Companias” where you will fill in the necessary paperwork and pay $800 which then turns into $800 stock in your new company. You can put the stock under whichever names you desire.

After that step you will need to get your “RUC” which is your business tax ID number in Ecuador. You get this from the government office called the SRI.

Then, in one of the many small stores outside the SRI, you can get “facturas” or official business receipts for your billing made for your business and from then on you will be liable for taxes in Ecuador.

The other way to form a business in Ecuador, and the way most prefer, is to simply work under your name as a sole proprietor.

In order to do this, just go to the SRI and get your “RUC” or tax ID number, get some business receipts made in the offices on either side and you can legally bill and receive payments in Ecuador (without needing to be a resident ).

I bet it is easier than you thought to start a business in Ecuador!

Where Do Most Americans Prefer to Live on the Coast of Ecuador?

I’ve found that most Americans when looking for a second residence…not a property bought strictly for investment purposes… are mostly looking for the same thing… Be near or on the water, be safe, with good internet and basic services available, and have things to do nearby like shops, restaurants and a local “scene” to integrate with.

Well, there’s really only one place on the coast of Ecuador that can offer that type of environment well as of now… This week on my weekly Ecuador Insider’s newsletter I’ll reveal where, sign up below (you can unsubscribe at any time):

Where Can I Meet other Expats in Ecuador?

Ecuador is still kind of an off the beaten path destination, you won’t find communities of 20,000 other Americans here like you can in Mexico… yet.

But it is relatively easy to meet other Expats, I’d start online, at the active Ecuador Expat Yahoo Group. There you can post questions, converse and meet others on the ground.

I’ve found it much easier to make new friends while living abroad than in my home country (USA)! It’s that a lot of people are new like you and also searching for new buds. (And birds of a feather do tend to flock together.)
