Frequently Asked Questions in
Corporate Law
What types of companies exist?
In Chile, the most common types are the SpA (Simplified Joint Stock Company), SA (Corporation), and SRL (Limited Liability Company). The first two are capital-based companies, while the SRL is a people-based company.
What is a partnership (sociedad de personas)?
These are companies where the essential element is the identity of the partners. As such, no one may join or leave the company without mutual agreement among partners.
What is a capital-based company?
In these entities, the focus is on capital rather than individual partners. Partners can freely enter or exit by buying or selling shares.
Is an EIRL a company?
The Individual Limited Liability Company (EIRL) is a legal fiction that allows a person to act with two separate estates. However, it is not technically a company.
What is a professional company?
A professional company is not a specific corporate structure but a tax regime that certain SRLs can adopt. It allows them to issue invoices exempt from VAT to their clients.
