About this procedure
The certification of financial statements is the document, backed by a public accountant, that shows your company's financial position: balance sheet, income statement and equity. It's requested legalized and apostilled when the company needs to prove its financial strength abroad: before a foreign bank, an investor, an international tender, a parent company, or a credit or due diligence process. The chain starts at the Registro Mercantil (Commercial Registry) where it was certified, goes through SAREN and ends with the apostille from the MPPRE (Venezuela's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which issues apostilles). We handle the legalization through the SAREN online system and process the apostille, starting from the certification your accountant has already issued. We deliver it ready to submit. If you still need an accountant to prepare and certify the statements, we connect you with our financial partners.
