Company Formation: Corporation (S.A. de C.V.)

An S.A. de C.V. or Sociedad Anonima de Capital Variable) is a corporate form in Mexico that is the equivalent of a United States Corporation or Limited Company. It provides asset protection for shareholders from lawsuits and liability from third parties. It provides flexibility for shareholder protections and corporate governance best suited for larger organizations.

It is not considered the best choice for closely-held foreign subsidiaries and is appropriate for robust Mexican operations seeking investor protections for multiple stakeholders.
