Understanding Shelter Companies

First things first, what exactly are shelter companies? These firms offer a unique business model that allows foreign manufacturers to operate in Mexico under the shelter company’s existing legal framework. Essentially, they take on the administrative and legal burdens, allowing you to focus on your core manufacturing activities.

One of the key advantages of working with a shelter company is the smooth transition they provide for companies looking to expand into Mexico. From setting up legal entities to hiring local staff and managing payroll, shelter companies take care of all the administrative tasks involved in establishing a presence in the country. This allows businesses to start operations quickly and efficiently, without the need to navigate the complexities of Mexican bureaucracy on their own.

In addition to regulatory compliance and administrative support, shelter companies also offer comprehensive services to help manufacturing companies succeed in Mexico. This includes assistance with sourcing suppliers, managing logistics, and accessing local markets. By leveraging the expertise of a shelter company, businesses can benefit from a network of contacts and resources that can help them navigate the Mexican business landscape and achieve their expansion goals.

Overall, working with a shelter company can provide foreign businesses with the support and guidance they need to successfully establish their manufacturing operations in Mexico. Companies can streamline the process of expanding into Mexico and position themselves for long-term success in the country's growing market.

Partnering with a shelter company, such as Co-Production International, offers businesses the opportunity to quickly and efficiently start operations in a new location without the need to establish a new legal entity. This can save companies valuable time and resources, as the shelter company takes care of all legal and administrative requirements, allowing the business to focus on their core operations.

Additionally, partnering with a shelter company can provide access to local expertise, resources, and networks, helping businesses navigate the complexities of operating in a new market. Overall, this partnership can streamline the process of expanding into a new location and help businesses achieve their goals more effectively. This not only speeds up the setup process but also significantly reduces initial costs and risks.

Navigating Regulatory Compliance

One of the most daunting aspects of expanding into a new country is understanding and complying with Mexican regulations for manufacturing. Mexico has its own set of labor laws, tax requirements, and environmental regulations enforced by the Mexican government. Shelter companies have extensive knowledge and experience in these areas, ensuring your operations comply with all local laws.

At Co-Production International, we specialize in facilitating a soft landing for companies expanding to Mexico. Our team ensures that all legal and regulatory requirements are met, from obtaining necessary permits to adhering to labor laws. This compliance is crucial for avoiding legal issues and maintaining smooth operations.

Accessing the IMMEX Program and VAT Certification

The IMMEX program (Maquiladora program, Manufacturing and Export Services Industry) allows foreign companies to temporarily import raw materials and components into Mexico without paying VAT (Value Added Tax) and other duties, provided they are used in manufacturing goods for export as a finished product.

Partnering with a shelter company like Co-Production International grants you access to this program through our already certified entities. This means you can enjoy significant cost savings on imports and exports and streamline your supply chain.
