Is it complicated to register a company in Panama? What is the procedure?

It is best to contact a credible law firm and get their assistance. There are law firms in Panama that specialize in Panama offshore services like incorporations, PIFs, and offshore banking. They know the laws and procedures like the back of their hand and can quickly guide you through the process. Just a sidenote, your company will need an offshore bank account, which is usually a little more complicated than incorporating your business.  Here are the details about becoming an offshore incorporation.
