About this procedure

FONACIT's electronic compliance certificate is the document that proves your company is up to date with the LOCTI contribution, and its real importance shows up at a very specific moment: when you want to contract with the government, enter a public tender, or close a deal with a public agency or a large company that requires its suppliers to be current on all their contributions. Without this certificate, many contracting doors simply don't open, no matter how good your product or your price.
The catch is that you can only get the certificate if the company is registered and its returns and contributions are up to date. It's common for business owners to find out they need it against the clock, for a tender that closes in days, and realize only then that they're carrying pending returns that have to be put in order first. That's why it pays not to leave it to the last minute and to have your house in order before the opportunity shows up.
We get it for you: we check that you're up to date, tell you what's missing if anything is pending (catching up is quoted separately), and handle your electronic compliance certificate for the LOCTI contribution with FONACIT. The price starts at $75 and is adjusted to your case. An accountant reviews your situation and confirms before we start, no strings attached.
