Corporate Structures

Current industry challenges in the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic has extensive commercial legislation and maintains commercial treaties that assist in the constitution of Dominican companies, the incorporation of foreign companies and the organization of corporate structures in the country. Currently, the registration and regulatory authorities have modified the procedures for which they are responsible so that users can exhaust them through virtual platforms, thus adapting to the needs that have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
