Lima, Peru - September 29, 2026 - As global capital searches for stable, high-growth markets outside the traditional hubs, Peru is consolidating its position as one of Latin America's most reliable destinations for foreign direct investment. Peru Legal Setup, a Lima-based law firm founded by attorney Andrés Urdanegui, is positioning itself as the go-to legal partner for international entrepreneurs and companies looking to enter the Peruvian market without setting foot in the country.
A market built on macroeconomic stability
Peru's Ministry of Economy and Finance projects the economy will grow 3.2% in 2026 and at an average pace of 3.2% between 2027 and 2029, driven by private investment, exports, and new productive projects. Private investment is expected to remain the country's main driver of growth over the next five years, supported by a strong pipeline of mining projects and infrastructure development, within a context of a long macroeconomic stability and gradual fiscal consolidation.
Mining, historically the backbone of the Peruvian economy, continues to attract fresh capital: the Ministry estimates mining investment will grow 8% in 2026 and surpass USD 6.8 billion, driven by projects such as San Gabriel, the Antamina expansion, and Corani. Beyond extractive industries, the government is actively courting reinvestment from companies already established in the country: PROMPERÚ's Peru Investment Round Table 2026 brought together roughly 200 representatives of foreign companies, binational chambers, embassies, and business associations in Lima to encourage international firms to expand their operations through new projects.
To reduce friction for newcomers, ProInversión recently launched the Legal Guide for Doing Business in Peru 2026, aimed at giving investors reliable, up-to-date information on the conditions for investing and setting up operations in the country.
The gap Peru Legal Setup fills
Favorable macro numbers do not, by themselves, get a foreign founder through Peruvian bureaucracy. Incorporating a company, opening a corporate bank account, securing a fiscal domicile, or obtaining a business or work visa still requires navigating SUNARP, SUNAT and Migraciones, in Spanish, often without ever leaving one's home country.
"Peru's growth story is real, and it is finally reaching entrepreneurs outside the traditional circle of large multinationals," said Andrés Urdanegui, founder and lead attorney of Peru Legal Setup. "What stops most foreign founders is the process: knowing which entity to form, who can sign on their behalf, and how to do it without flying to Lima. That is the gap we close."
Based in Miraflores, Lima, Peru Legal Setup has built its practice around foreign investors who want to operate remotely and with legal certainty. The firm's services include:
- S.A.C. company incorporation and shelf company acquisition
- Legal and tax representation via power of attorney
- Fiscal domicile services
- Corporate bank account opening
- Business and work visas, family residency, and full immigration roadmaps
The firm's growing client base includes investors from the United States, China, Turkey, the Middle East, and Australia, served in English, Spanish, Chinese, or Arabic depending on the client.
Why now
The timing reflects a broader shift: Peru is no longer selling itself only to mining majors and multinational conglomerates. Individual foreign entrepreneurs and mid-sized companies opening a first Latin American subsidiary are a growing share of the country's inbound investment story, and they need a different kind of legal partner: one that answers WhatsApp messages directly, quotes a fixed price up front, and puts a licensed attorney's name behind every filing.
