Operational Setup

Soft landing services that get your office, phone lines, connectivity, and banking running before your team arrives.

Operational setup, also known as soft landing services, covers the practical groundwork a foreign company needs before it can actually operate in a new LATAM market: an office or flexible workspace, local phone lines and SIM cards, internet and connectivity, utility accounts, and an introduction to a corporate bank. None of this is covered by company formation itself, and gaps here are what delay a team's start date even after the entity is legally registered.

NavviPal coordinates each piece directly with local providers and introduces your finance team to banks that work with foreign-owned entities, so your team can be operational in-country as soon as your entity is formed, not months later.

What's included:

Office and flexible workspace search matched to your team size and city
Local phone lines and SIM cards for your in-country team
Internet and connectivity setup for a new office
Utility account setup, including electricity, water, and related services
Corporate bank account introductions with banks that work with foreign-owned entities
Coordination timed to your company formation, so operational setup and entity registration move in parallel

Typical scope

Scales from a single remote hire's phone and banking needs to a full office setup for an in-country team

Frequently asked questions

What are soft landing services?

Soft landing services are the practical, non-legal steps a foreign company needs to start operating in a new market: office space, phone lines, internet, utilities, and a corporate bank account introduction. They sit alongside company formation rather than replacing it.

Can NavviPal open a corporate bank account for us?

NavviPal introduces your team to banks that work with foreign-owned entities and supports the account opening process. The bank makes the final decision and requires its own compliance review, so timelines and requirements vary by bank and country.

Do we need a physical office to operate in Latin America?

It depends on the country and your operating model. Some jurisdictions accept a registered address separate from an operating office, while others expect a functional local presence for banking or tax purposes. NavviPal advises on what your specific market and structure require.

How long does operational setup take?

Timelines depend on the country, the number of services needed, and how quickly local providers and banks process each step. NavviPal sequences the work with your company formation so operational readiness and entity registration move together where possible.

Is operational setup available in every NavviPal market?

Availability varies by service and by market. NavviPal will confirm what is available in your target country before you commit to a plan.
