In El Salvador, options include corporations (SA de CV), partnerships (SNC \u2013 SC), and simplified joint-stock companies (SAS), among others. Analyze the characteristics of each and choose the most appropriate one for your business creation in El Salvador.<\/p>\r\n<h3>a) Collective name company or Collective companies (SNC \u2013 SC):<\/h3>\r\n<p>A company in El Salvador established under a corporate name, in the name of one or more partners.

(Articles 73 to 92 of the Commercial Code of El Salvador)<\/p>\r\n<h3>b) Limited Liability Company (Ltda):<\/h3>\r\n<p>This type of company in El Salvador is established with a specific corporate name or denomination followed by &#8220;Limitada&#8221; or &#8220;Ltda.&#8221; This structure entails that partners assume limited liability, safeguarding their personal assets from the company&#8217;s obligations in El Salvador.

Ideal for medium- or large-sized companies in El Salvador seeking to raise capital through the sale of shares. (Articles 191 to 295 of the Commercial Code of El Salvador).<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3>d) Simplified Joint Stock Companies (SAS):<\/h3>\r\n<p>A Simplified Joint Stock Company (SAS) is a legal entity resulting from the expression of the will of one or more natural or legal persons, with limited liability up to the amount of their respective contributions, whose nature will always be commercial, regardless of the activities planned for its purpose.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_10692\" style=\"width: 438px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/interbiznet.net\/en\/contact-lawyers-in-el-salvador\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10692\" class=\"wp-image-10692 size-large\" title=\"Types of companies in El Salvador \u2013 Interbiznet legal and accounting services\" src=\"https:\/\/interbiznet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/types-of-companies-in-el-salvador-428x1024.webp\" alt=\"Types of companies in El Salvador \u2013 Interbiznet legal and accounting services\" width=\"428\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/interbiznet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/types-of-companies-in-el-salvador-428x1024.webp 428w, https:\/\/interbiznet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/types-of-companies-in-el-salvador-600x1434.webp 600w, https:\/\/interbiznet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/types-of-companies-in-el-salvador-126x300.webp 126w, https:\/\/interbiznet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/types-of-companies-in-el-salvador-768x1836.webp 768w, https:\/\/interbiznet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/types-of-companies-in-el-salvador.webp 797w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Discover the types of companies in El Salvador: General Partnership, Limited Liability Company, Corporation, and Simplified Joint Stock Company.
