Commercial Licenses

A commercial license is the main requirement if you intend to open a business in Panama. It can be granted to an individual or a legal entity, but bear in mind that only Panamanians are permitted to engage in retail business. It enables you to have a trade name under which to market your products or services in the business world.

Trademark Registration

If you already own a business or have purchased a franchise and want to open doors in Panama, you need to register your trademark so nobody copies your idea, and thus protect your investment.

Working permits

In order to work in Panama, you need a work permit whether you are planning to work independently or need to hire personnel for your company.
