Frequently asked.
What is a shelter company in México?
A shelter is a Mexican legal entity already registered under IMMEX that lets a foreign manufacturer operate and import or export temporarily without establishing its own company.
How is this different from starting my own IMMEX entity?
Your own entity takes 6 to 12 months to incorporate and register; a shelter lets you start producing in months under an entity that already exists.
Can I convert from shelter to my own entity later?
Yes, many manufacturers start under a shelter and transition to a standalone entity once volume justifies it.
Do you handle site selection for shelter operations too?
Yes, Site Selection to México scores buildings specifically for your shelter-compliant operation before you sign.
What's included in shelter compliance?
Payroll, labor law, IMMEX customs compliance, and the legal liability of operating in México all run through the shelter entity.
