1) Validate Your Business Plan & Capitalisation

Turnaround: 1 day  |  Deliverable: Funding matrix

  • Balance equity vs. debt under thin-capitalisation rules.
  • Simulate VAT, income tax and withholding scenarios.

Example: A logistics start-up with US$ 120k CAPEX receives a plan distinguishing cash vs. in-kind contributions (trucks, forklifts) and customs duties flags.

2) Name Clearance with SUNARP

Time: ≈ 2 hours online  |  Deliverable: Reservation code (valid 30 days)

  • Instant collision search; protects against rebranding or disputes.
  • Example: “Pacific Logistics S.A.C.” reserved at 09:00; certificate by 11:30.

3) Capital Contribution — Cash or In-Kind
