Entering Mexico or Latin America is one of the most lucrative — and most punishing — moves a foreign company can make. The upside is real: under a shifting tri-polar world order, Mexico is becoming the cost-effective base to operate in the Americas for US, Asian and European investors. So is the downside: forming a company costs USD 3–4k and takes 4–6 months; buying a clean one that passes due diligence runs 5–6k. There are no shortcuts here. Everything takes weeks or months, and the entrants who lose money rarely lose it on strategy — they lose it on the terrain: tax structure, the wrong counterpart, a rule they never saw coming. I'm the person who has crossed that terrain for two decades. Mexican corporate, financial and tax background, advising US, Asian (China, Vietnam, Indonesia) and EU clients entering or selling into Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and the wider region. I don't hand you a document you could generate yourself. I tell you what to do, in what order, and what it costs you if you get it wrong. Where I add the most value: — Market-entry structure and viability: how to enter, what it really costs, what to avoid. — Cross-border tax and withholding: including foreign sellers on regional marketplaces bleeding retention they could reduce. — Regulatory and operational risk: fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, IP and USPTO/Mexico trademarks. — Ongoing local counsel for investors who need judgment on the ground, not just paperwork. The best way to start is a fixed-scope Mexico/LATAM Entry Diagnostic: a short call plus a written risk-and-viability memo. From there we go as deep as you need. Judgment, not paperwork. Let's talk.
