Uruguay as a global-services platform: what to analyze before establishing an operation

Before choosing a regime, define which functions will be performed in Uruguay, for which markets, with what team and where relevant assets and decisions will be located.

What to review

A sustainable international structure should match operational reality, with contracts, governance, documentation and administrative processes aligned.

Comparar escenarios

The right structure depends on the actual activity, people, clients and financial flows.

  • Territorio no franco versus zona franca cuando sea aplicable.
  • Operating model and functions
  • Talent and labor cost
  • International tax and flows
  • Technology and suppliers

Management implications

Our work in management implications combines financial, tax and business considerations to support practical decision-making.

A single metric is rarely enough.

Value emerges when indicators are read together, compared with budget and translated into concrete management action.
