Appointment of the Legal Representative

We help you identify and designate the most suitable legal representative, ensuring your company’s interests are always protected.

Colombia

Consular Certification and Registration

Under Title VIII of the Colombian Commercial Code, foreign companies must obtain a Certificate of Existence and Legal Representation from the corresponding Colombian consulate.
JyM Contadores manages the entire process, including the apostille or legalization of corporate documents, consular certification, and subsequent registration with:

  • The Chamber of Commerce,

  • The DIAN (Tax Authority), and

  • The RUT (Single Tax Registry).

We ensure a fast, compliant, and seamless process so your company can operate legally from day one.

Financial and Accounting Compliance

Once established, companies must maintain accounting records in accordance with Colombian International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS for SMEs) and submit periodic financial statements to the corresponding authorities.
Our multidisciplinary team handles these obligations, guaranteeing accuracy, compliance, and financial transparency.
