The legal foundation is where most founders lose weeks — choosing the wrong structure, missing a step at the notary, or registering with SAT incorrectly. This category covers everything from picking between an S.A. de C.V. and an S. de R.L., to reserving your company name with the Ministry of Economy, to obtaining your RFC and opening a corporate bank account.
