Corporate governance in Chile
Corporate secretarial services are part of corporate governance. They protect the company’s and shareholders’ interests. Furthermore, they minimize the so-called ‘agency problems’, that typically arise between owners and the management office.
Companies looking to outsource corporate secretarial services in Chile will find that one of the most common legal structure to establish a company in the country is “Sociedad por Acciones” (SpA). It allows the administration to be entrusted to an administrator or a board of directors. Note that at least one individual with local residence needs to be appointed as a legal representative to engage with banks and Public Entities.
Day-to-day Powers in ‘SpA’ structures are usually concentrated in a few people, whether it is the administrator, managers, or board of director. Nevertheless, large companies may choose other legal structures in which separate specific powers are granted for certain projects and areas within the company. These projects include human resources, tax, or banking activities.
