Frequently Asked Questions about EAS Creation
How long does it take to open an EAS in Paraguay?
The EAS opening process usually takes 15 business days, depending on the speed of document presentation and processing with the SET (Tax Authority) and other organizations. We work with digital signatures to speed up this process.
Can an EAS have a foreign shareholder?
Yes, absolutely. A foreigner can be a shareholder of an EAS. You only need your passport (apostilled). However, the Legal Representative of the company must be a Paraguayan resident or a foreigner with a permanent residency ID. If you don’t have residency yet, we offer the Nominee Director / Legal Representation service.
What is the difference between an EAS and an SA in Paraguay?
The main difference is bureaucracy and cost. An SA (Sociedad Anónima) is designed for large corporations, requires a board of directors, and has higher maintenance costs. The EAS is modern, digital, has no minimum capital, and costs up to 60% less to maintain. It is the best vehicle for 99% of new businesses.
Do I need to be in Paraguay to open an EAS?
No, you do not need to be physically present. We can incorporate the company remotely if you grant us a Power of Attorney (POA). You can manage your business from abroad while we handle the local compliance.
Can an EAS Import and Export?
Yes. Once the EAS has its RUC (Tax ID), we can register it as an Importer/Exporter with Customs. It gives you full capacity to trade internationally, just like any other corporation.
When should I switch from an EAS to an SA?
You rarely need to switch. An EAS can invoice millions of dollars and have unlimited employees. You would only switch to an SA if you plan to list the company on the Stock Exchange or if a specific regulation in your industry requires a traditional SA structure (e.g., Banks or Insurance companies).
Does the EAS have an annual billing limit?
No. The EAS has no billing limit. You can grow your business as much as you want without changing the legal structure.
Can I be the sole owner of an EAS?
Yes. The EAS allows for a Single Shareholder. You don’t need partners to incorporate, which is a huge advantage over the traditional SRL or SA which required at least two people.
