The Dominican Corporation - Click To Read Article
The most common business entity in the Dominican Republic is the corporation, locally called “Sociedad Anónima” (S.A.) or “Compañía por Acciones” (C. por A.). As corporations in other countries, Dominican corporations are legal persons which exist independently of its shareholders. Likewise, the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of their contribution to the corporation.
The Dominican Commercial Code provides for the existence of other business entities such as partnerships (“sociedad en nombre colectivo”), limited partnerships(“sociedadesencomandita”)and joint ventures (“sociedades en participación”). These structures, however, are seldom used because they are subject to the same tax treatment as corporations while lacking its limited liability component.
