It operates under the parent company&#8217;s name with the addition of &#8220;Sucursal Colombia.&#8221; The parent company is directly liable for all branch obligations. Assigned capital must be declared and paid in full at the time of registration. Requires a public deed before a Colombian notary \u2014 more complex and costly to set up than an SAS. Governed by Articles 469\u2013497 of the Colombian Commercial Code.<\/p><p><strong>Tax note: <\/strong>A sucursal is generally subject to Colombian tax only on Colombian-source income, whereas an SAS is subject to tax on its worldwide income.

Better suited to most foreign investors who want a clean separation between their Colombian operations and their home company.<\/p><p><strong>Our recommendation: <\/strong>Most foreign investors are better served by an SAS than a sucursal \u2014 unless they specifically need to operate under the parent company&#8217;s name, leverage the parent&#8217;s track record for contract bids, or have strategic reasons for maintaining a single legal entity.
