Capital increase
Increasing your company's capital is more than signing minutes: it requires the comisario's report, sometimes financial statements, and meeting the Commercial Registry's formal requirements. We draft the minutes, coordinate the required documents and record them for you.

How is your investment calculated?

The Commercial Registry's official registry fee, which for a capital increase is 2 percent of the amount by which you increase your capital, plus about $3 per page. That 2 percent isn't our money; the government collects it, and it depends on how much you increase. We give you the final figure before we start, no strings attached Your lawyer gives you the exact figure before you pay anything, no strings attached.
FAQ
What happens if my capital is too small?
Low capital holds you back where it hurts most (public tenders that require a minimum, bank loans, and large partners or clients who judge a company's seriousness by it).
How much is the official registry fee?
The government charges 2 percent of the amount by which you increase your capital, plus a per-page charge. Our professional fee, from $180, is separate; we give you the full figure before we start.
Do I need a comisario?
Yes, the comisario's report is mandatory for a capital increase.
Do I need audited financial statements?
It depends on the method. If you capitalize through an inflation adjustment or by converting debts, usually yes.
Can I increase capital for a public tender?
Yes, it's one of the most common reasons; tell us the minimum capital they require.
About this procedure
A capital increase is one of the weightiest decisions in a company's life: it qualifies you for public tenders and for credit, lets new shareholders come in, or simply reflects the true size of your business. But it's also one of the procedures where people get stuck the most, because the shareholders' will isn't enough: you have to hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting, draft the minutes with the exact detail of how the increase is paid, obtain the comisario's report and, depending on the method, submit financial statements. We take care of the whole process: we draft the minutes tailored to your case, tell you exactly which documents you need based on how you'll pay for the increase, coordinate the comisario's report and take everything to the Commercial Registry so it's formally recorded. You sign, and we hand you your recorded capital increase, ready to use with banks, government agencies and wherever else you need it.
Legal framework and important notes
Código de Comercio (Commercial Code), articles 221 and 280 · Ley de Registros y Notarías (Registries and Notaries Law), article 85
- The 2 percent official registry fee is calculated on the amount of the increase, not on the total capital
- Large increases mean high official registry fees. It's best to plan them
- If the increase comes with new shareholders joining or a board change, it can be done in the same minutes, and that costs less than doing them separately
We guarantee our service, not what the agency decides. If something depends on them, we tell you clearly and in time.
