Business Address · United States · Panama

Most international companies are run from somewhere other than where they are registered.

The address on file is often a registered agent's, shared with many others, or a founder's home.

Banks notice. Payment processors notice. Clients notice. Advisory N9 gives your company an address of its own, in a real commercial building, with every letter scanned and sent to you. One service, one point of contact, the same price in both countries.

Why it matters
United States

Many US companies owned from abroad list only their registered agent's address. Banks and payment processors recognise those addresses, and a company without one of its own can face extra verification, held payouts or closed accounts. A commercial address in the company's name, used consistently on your bank, processor, IRS and state records, is one of the simplest ways to reduce that risk.

Panama

A Panama company needs an address its banks, suppliers and the authorities can write to and verify. Yours sits in a recognised commercial tower in Marbella, in Panama City's banking district, with its own suite number and a formal proof of address letter in the company's name.

What is included

One service, one point of contact, the same price in both countries.

United States

A commercial street address in your company's name, in the state you choose from more than twenty, including Wyoming, Delaware, Florida, Texas, Nevada and New York. Your own suite number, never a PO box, ready to list on your website, invoices, bank, processor, IRS and state records. Every letter is opened, scanned where it arrives and sent to your inbox, and unwanted mail is securely shredded. Originals can be forwarded by post or courier on request, for a handling fee plus postage at cost. One point of contact at Advisory N9 for all of it.

Frequently asked questions.

01

Does Advisory N9 give legal, tax or financial advice?

Advisory N9 acts as a coordination service. We are not authorised to practise law or to provide legal, tax, or financial advice, and we are not a bank, a payment institution, or a money transmitter. We do not hold or transmit funds on behalf of clients. Legal filings, regulated work, and account and merchant approvals are performed and decided by independent licensed professionals and institutions. The contents of this website are for informational purposes only, do not constitute advice of any kind, and do not form part of any engagement. The terms of any engagement are set out separately in writing.

Yes. It is a commercial building with your own suite number, not a PO box or a mailbox store.

Yes, and consistency is what matters most. Each institution applies its own verification policy, so acceptance is at its discretion. A commercial address in the company's name, used the same way on every record, is what most institutions expect to see.

A registered agent address exists to receive legal notices and state correspondence, and it is shared by many companies. Your business address belongs to your company alone, receives all of its mail, and can appear on your website, invoices and accounts.

Acceptance of an address by banks, payment processors, marketplaces and authorities is at their discretion. Registrations in Panama, such as the Aviso de Operación, are subject to local requirements.

Virtual Office

Presence, without the premises.

Explore

Virtual Office · United States · Panama

An address receives mail, but it does not answer the phone.

Clients expect a local number, and compliance teams ask for a lease or a utility bill.

On its own, an address does not always satisfy a bank asking for evidence of a real operation. Virtual Office gives your company the full footprint of a local office, with the address, a local phone line and the paperwork that shows it is really there, without renting a space you will never sit in. Set up and managed end to end by Advisory N9.

Why it matters
United States

An office lease in your company's name is a strong signal of genuine presence for a company owned from abroad. Paired with a local number in the same state, your company reads as an established US business, on paper and on the phone.

Panama

In Panama, proof of address often means more than a letter. Your Virtual Office adds a dedicated Panama number with local caller ID and, on request, a telephone utility bill, the kind of supporting document banks and suppliers ask for.

What is included

Everything in Business Address, plus the line and the paperwork.

United States

Everything in Business Address, plus a US number with a local area code in your chosen state, with calls forwarded to your own number, voicemail with transcription and text messaging. A real office lease for your suite documents your company's presence in the state, and conference rooms can be booked whenever you need to meet clients in person, billed separately. One point of contact at Advisory N9 for all of it.

Panama

Everything in Business Address, plus a dedicated Panama number, with calls forwarded to your own number or taken by voicemail, and Panama caller ID on outgoing calls. Alongside your proof of address letter, a telephone utility bill is available on request. Mail is received for your company plus up to three additional names, with a larger monthly scanning allowance. One point of contact at Advisory N9 for all of it.

Business Address gives your company a real address and handles its mail. Virtual Office adds a local phone line and documentation of a real presence: an office lease in the United States, and a telephone utility bill on request in Panama.

Calls to your local number are forwarded to the phone you choose, or taken by voicemail. In the United States, text messaging is included. In Panama, outgoing calls can display your Panama number.

They are strong supporting documents, and many institutions ask for exactly this kind of evidence. Each bank applies its own policy, so acceptance remains at its discretion. We help you prepare the full document set before you apply.

Most offices are ready within a few business days of receiving complete documents.

The problem

Finding a lawyer is easy. Being understood by one is not.

Most people arrive in Panama with a lawyer's number. What follows is familiar: documents requested twice, a procedure explained in a language you half follow, a fee that grows with the matter. We close that gap. The partner firm receives your file already organised, and you receive the answer in plain language, with the next step attached.

What the service covers

Six matters, one licensed partner firm.

  • 01 Residency filings The application, the power of attorney and the Immigration submission for every residency programme. Residency
  • 02 Corporate matters Incorporation, amendments, officer changes, resident agent and the records a Panama S.A. must keep. Panama S.A.
  • 03 Foundations and trusts Private interest foundations and trust structures, drafted and registered. Foundations and Trusts
  • 04 Property Due diligence, promise of sale, purchase contract and title registration for a Panama purchase, including one that qualifies for a visa.
  • 05 Contracts and powers of attorney Leases, service agreements, general and special powers of attorney, notarised and where needed apostilled for use abroad.
  • 06 Licences and registrations The Aviso de Operación, municipal registrations and the permits an operating business in Panama requires.
The boundary

We coordinate. Licensed lawyers advise.

Advisory N9 is not authorised to practise law and does not give legal advice. Legal work is performed by our licensed partner firm in Panama, whose lawyers sign what they file and answer for it. What we do is make sure your file reaches them complete, that the question is the right one, and that you understand the answer.

How it works

Consultation, briefing, the work, follow through.

You describe the matter in English or French. We define the question, list the documents and send the partner firm an organised file. The firm advises, drafts or files, and you receive the lawyer's written answer with our plain language summary and the next step.

Legal fees are the partner firm's and are quoted in writing before work begins. Notary, registry and government fees are paid with your funds and shown separately. The initial legal consultation is credited against any matter that follows.

Yes. If you already have counsel in Panama we can coordinate with them, or you can ask for a second opinion from the partner firm on a specific point.

A special power of attorney, limited to one matter and revocable, is how most residency and corporate filings are done without you present. The lawyer drafts it narrowly and explains exactly what it allows.

Residence and Home

The visa gets you in. The home is what you arrive to.

Explore

Residence and Home

A residency card is paperwork.

A life in Panama is a home with the lights on and a neighbourhood that fits how you live.

A lease that says what it means, a doctor you can call. We find the home, negotiate the lease or the purchase, connect the services and introduce the people, so the week you land is spent living here rather than settling in.

The problem

Everything is possible in Panama City. Nothing is obvious.

Listings are informal and often stale, leases are in Spanish and favour the landlord, and every utility has its own office and its own deposit. None of it is hard for someone who has done it fifty times. All of it is slow for someone doing it once, in a second language. We have done it fifty times.

What we handle

From the search to the first night. One contact for all of it.

  • 01 Home search A shortlist built on how you live: neighbourhood, building, budget, furnished or not. Viewings arranged for the days you are here, or walked on video before you travel.
  • 02 Lease or purchase The lease read and negotiated in your interest, or the purchase run with the partner law firm from offer to title. Legal Consulting
  • 03 Utilities and connections Electricity, water, internet and building services set up in your name, deposits paid, appointments kept, before you move in.
  • 04 Furnishing and setup Furniture, appliances and household basics delivered and installed to a brief, so the apartment is a home on day one.
  • 05 Household staff Introductions to vetted housekeeping, drivers and childcare, with the employment paperwork Panama requires.
  • 06 Healthcare and schools Introductions to private clinics, specialists and insurers, and to international schools where there are children in the move.
How it works

The brief, the shortlist, the paperwork, the arrival.

One conversation about how you live sets the brief. Properties that fit are seen on your behalf first, so you see three good options, not thirty listings. The lease or purchase, utilities, services and deposits are handled in your name. You are met at the airport and taken to a home that is connected, furnished and ready.

Included in the white glove residency package. Available on its own for clients who already hold residency. Our settling in fee is quoted after the brief. Deposits, rent and purchases are yours.

Yes. A lease needs your passport and a deposit, not a residency card. Many clients sign during the first visit so the home is ready when the provisional card is issued.

Rent first, in most cases. A year in the city tells you which neighbourhood you actually want, and a purchase that qualifies for a visa is a decision to make with the attorney, not the agent. Qualified Investor Visa

Most settle in Costa del Este, San Francisco, Punta Pacifica or Casco Viejo, each for a different reason. The brief decides it. We do not push a building.

Vehicles and Transport

Panama City is a driving city. We get you behind the wheel, legally.

Explore

Vehicles and Transport

From the airport pick up to a car in your name and a Panamanian licence in your wallet.

We handle the part of relocation nobody budgets time for.

The queues, the inspections, the paperwork in Spanish and the dealer who knows you just arrived.

The problem

A foreign licence is good for a visit. A resident needs more.

A tourist can drive on a home licence for a limited period. A resident is expected to hold a Panamanian one, and exchanging it means authenticated documents, a medical check and a morning at the transit authority. Buying or importing a car adds its own sequence of registry, insurance and inspection. Each step is ordinary. Together, in a second language, they absorb weeks. We run the sequence for you, in the right order, with a driver in the meantime.

What we handle

Getting around, getting licensed, getting a car. Three jobs, one sequence.

  1. 01

    Airport pick up and a driver

    Met at Tocumen on every residency visit, and a vetted driver on call for the first weeks, so viewings, appointments and the transit authority happen on time without you at the wheel.

  2. 02

    Panamanian driving licence

    Exchange of your home licence where Panama allows it: documents authenticated, medical and eye tests booked, the transit authority appointment arranged and attended with you.

  3. 03

    Buying a car

    Dealer or private sale found to your brief, the vehicle inspected, the price checked against the market, and the ownership transfer completed at the registry in your name.

  4. 04

    Importing a car

    Customs clearance, duties paid with your funds, the import inspection and first registration, for clients who bring a vehicle with them.

  5. 05

    Keeping it legal

    Insurance placed, annual inspection and plate renewal diarised and handled, so the car stays on the road without a fine.

How it works

Arrival, licence, vehicle, keys.

You are met at the airport, and a driver covers your first weeks while the licence and the car are arranged. Your documents are authenticated, the medical tests booked and the transit authority appointment attended with you. The car is bought or imported, inspected, insured and transferred into your name. The inspection and plate renewal dates go on our calendar, not yours.

Airport pick up is included in every residency engagement. The rest is quoted after the consultation. Our coordination fee covers the sequence. Duties, registry and insurance are paid with your funds.

For a limited period after each entry, as a visitor. Once you hold residency you are expected to exchange it for a Panamanian licence, and the exchange needs your licence authenticated and your residency documents in order. We tell you when to start so there is no gap.

Usually buy here. Import duties, shipping and the inspection often cost more than the difference in price, and a locally sold car is easier to service and resell. We run the numbers for your vehicle before you decide.

In Panama City, most residents end up with one. Taxis and ride apps cover the first weeks, which is why a driver is part of the service, but daily life in most neighbourhoods assumes a car.

Criminal Record Certificate and Authentication

One document Panama insists on. Three ways to get it.

Explore

Criminal record certificate and authentication · For Canadians

Every Canadian applying for residency in Panama needs an RCMP criminal record certificate with an apostille.

There are several ways to get it, and the right one depends on where you are.

And on whether you need the certificate, the apostille, or both. We offer all three services, in Canada and in Panama, and we take care of the appointments and coordination for you.

Three services

The certificate, the apostille, or both. Where you are decides how fast.

In Canada

01

Criminal record certificate only

Your official RCMP criminal record check, based on your fingerprints.

In Canada

We book your fingerprinting appointment with an RCMP accredited provider near you and coordinate the whole request. In the Montreal area, it can all be done in a single visit.

In Panama or elsewhere outside Canada

No need to travel back to Canada. Your fingerprints are taken here in Panama City and we coordinate everything with our trusted partner in Canada, who submits them to the RCMP. Your certificate is typically ready in about 15 business days.

02

Apostille only

You already have your RCMP certificate and it needs to be apostilled before it can be used in Panama.

In Canada

We arrange the apostille through Global Affairs Canada. Current processing time is about 30 business days.

In Panama or elsewhere outside Canada

This is our fastest option. We book your appointment at the Embassy of Canada in Panama City and your certificate is apostilled in just a few days, instead of waiting about six weeks in Canada.

03

Complete service: certificate and apostille

We handle everything from start to finish and deliver your certificate apostilled and ready for your Panama residency file.

In Canada

We coordinate your fingerprinting, the RCMP check and the apostille from Global Affairs Canada, with the final documents couriered to you.

In Panama or elsewhere outside Canada

We obtain your RCMP certificate from Panama, then have it apostilled at the Embassy of Canada in a few days. This saves you weeks compared to the apostille in Canada.

No. Your fingerprints are taken in Panama City, our partner in Canada submits them to the RCMP, and the certificate is apostilled at the Embassy of Canada here in a few days.

No. Panama requires the RCMP certificate, which is based on your fingerprints, with an apostille.

Global Affairs Canada currently takes about 30 business days. The Embassy of Canada in Panama City apostilles the same certificate in a few days.

The principle is the same for every nationality: a national criminal record certificate, apostilled, for your residency file. The steps differ by country and are covered in your consultation.
