Mexico Offers One of the Most Attractive Environments for International Business Expansion in Latin America
With a stable economy, competitive tax rates, and privileged access to the U.S. market, Mexico is a strategic choice for entrepreneurs, investors, and corporations seeking growth with legal certainty.

Why Mexico?
Mexico stands out for several compelling reasons. Here are some key factors that make it an ideal location for business expansion:
1. Macroeconomic Stability
Mexico maintains controlled inflation, disciplined fiscal policy, and consistent GDP growth. This stability provides a solid foundation for businesses to thrive.
2. Currency Parity
The Mexican peso has shown resilience and relative stability against the U.S. dollar. This stability enables predictable financial planning, which is crucial for businesses operating in international markets.
3. Growth Sectors
Several sectors in Mexico are experiencing rapid growth. Energy, logistics, tourism, real estate, and technology are expanding, supported by both public and private incentives. This growth presents numerous opportunities for investment.
4. Tax Advantages
Mexico offers competitive tax rates compared to other countries. The corporate income tax in Mexico is 30%, while in countries like France or Germany, it ranges from 32% to 33%. Additionally, Mexico provides accelerated depreciation, maquila regimes, and regional incentives that can benefit businesses.
Export-Friendly Environment
Mexico's export environment is highly favorable for international businesses. Here are some highlights:
1. Low Tariffs for Exports to the U.S.
Under the USMCA (formerly NAFTA), Mexico enjoys low tariffs for exports to the U.S., making it an attractive option for businesses looking to reach American consumers.
2. Robust Logistics Infrastructure
Mexico boasts a robust logistics infrastructure, including ports, highways, and industrial parks connected to the U.S. border. This infrastructure facilitates efficient transportation and distribution of goods.
3. Programs like IMMEX and PROSEC
Programs such as IMMEX and PROSEC allow for the temporary importation of goods without VAT or duties, provided the final product is exported. This can significantly reduce costs for businesses engaged in export-oriented operations.

Easy Incorporation and Banking
Setting up a business in Mexico is straightforward. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Fast Company Setup
Incorporating a Mexican entity, such as an S.A. de C.V. or S. de R.L., can be completed in just a few days with the proper documentation. This efficiency allows businesses to start operations quickly.
2. Bank Account Opening
The process of opening a bank account in Mexico is also straightforward. With legal representation, valid ID, and corporate documents, foreign nationals can easily establish banking relationships.
3. No Need for Residency
Foreign nationals can own 100% of a Mexican company and operate remotely or through local representatives. This flexibility makes it easier for international businesses to establish a presence in Mexico.
