To establish a legal entity in Mexico as a foreigner you will initially need to secure a valid passport.  You can also use a valid corporation that has been validated, stamped by a Mexican Consulate in your area.   

Subsequently, you must obtain a Mexican Tax Identification Number (RFC) from the Mexican Tax Administration Service (SAT). The next step involves registering a unique business name with the Mexican Commercial Information System to ensure the distinctiveness of your business identity.

Legal entities in Mexico are structured to suit various business and organizational needs, ranging from individual entrepreneurship to large corporations and non-profit organizations. These entities are characterized by different levels of liability, taxation policies, and governance structures.

They can be broadly categorized into business entities, which focus on profit-making activities, and non-profit entities, which aim to achieve social, cultural, or charitable objectives. The choice of a legal entity is pivotal as it dictates the operational dynamics, financial responsibilities, and legal obligations of an organization or business in Mexico.

Investment entities in Mexico encompass a diverse range of structures designed to facilitate and promote investment in various sectors including real estate, equity markets, and private companies.
