General information on Panama
The Republic of Panama is situated between Costa Rica in Central America and Columbia in South America with coastlines on both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Its capital, Panama City, is on the Pacific coast at the entrance of the Panama Canal. Panama was a Spanish colony until 1821. In 1903, Panama broke an alliance with Colombia and became an independent republic. The population of Panama is approximately 2.4 million, of which 700,000 live in Panama City.
Panama is one of the most well-known and recognised offshore jurisdictions worldwide, thanks to its high level of confidentiality and highly efficient register. Company formation can only be processed by a local solicitor’s office. SFM has a partnership agreement with a local office to register Panamaean companies.
