What was your challenge?

We were at ground zero, grappling with the language barrier, unfamiliarity with Colombian legal frameworks, and the recent changes in the administration, making compliance a top concern for us. Our company needed guidance on whether setting up an entity was feasible and what considerations and ramifications they should be aware of. Compliance was also a focus, we wanted to make sure every process was in the colombian legal framework and regulations.

What was the solution?

Upon partnering with Ongresso, our company received invaluable support. Ongresso patiently addressed our questions and concerns, multiple times, particularly regarding the intricacies of Colombian employment laws, working hours, overtime, holidays, pay calculations, apprenticeship schemes, health and safety regulations, and financial frameworks. The expertise provided by Ongresso was crucial in understanding and adhering to compliance requirements.

Ongresso experts who we work with, played a pivotal role in guiding us through the intricate process of establishing a presence in Colombia, ensuring compliance, showcasing their expertise in corporate services, legal representation, and market advisory in the Latin American context.

What was the results?

As a result of the consultancy with Ongresso, we successfully established an operating entity in Colombia. We now have a full operating company in the colombian territory, and we also are transitioning our staff to work in Colombia, viewing the country as a promising area for growth and development. Of course, we still have Ongresso support with some questions, we do not even understand, and we have gained confidence in their advisory. they help us to ensure compliance regulations, administrative and financial obligations.
