PACK 08 · Business planning and tax preparation
Starting a business in Chile: company and tax paperwork
Turn your business idea into a folder of records and questions for checking the company, tax and administrative route.
Who it is for
Foreign nationals considering a business in Chile who want to prepare for a consultation with an accountant, lawyer or competent institution.
What you can prepare
A project brief, a tracker of outstanding decisions, an institution-by-institution enquiry map and a document index for professional review.
Your steps
- Describe the business model and separate confirmed facts, open decisions and assumptions.
- Create a document inventory and an issue matrix covering structure, representation, tax identification, activity and authorizations to be verified.
- Assign each question to an appropriate source or institution and record the reply and its scope for the case.
- Prepare a brief for accounting or legal review, with next steps based on documented confirmations.
Scope of the pack
This pack does not form companies, obtain a RUT, register the start of business activities, select a tax regime or confirm permits. It does not determine your ability to represent an entity or carry out an activity in Chile. Structure, representation, taxation and authorizations must be verified for the specific project. The pack price excludes official fees and third-party services.
You can use the guides and templates without AI. To use the skill, attach or copy its instructions into a compatible AI tool. AI subscriptions and individual professional review are not included in the digital kit. Personal adaptation is an optional, separate service with its own agreed scope.
English materials explain the workflow; they are not certified translations of documents or laws. Keep original documents and confirm language requirements with the receiving authority.
Work on copies and share only necessary data. Never include passwords, electronic signatures or full bank details in an AI tool.
AFTER RECEIVING YOUR FILES
Your first steps
The AI skill is included in the kit. It is not a separate subscription or an autonomous agent.
- Save and unzip
Save the ZIP received by email and extract it into a new folder. Keep an unchanged original.
- Read before completing
Start with the PDF guide and README. Open copies of the Word and Excel templates; both work without AI.
- Try the skill safely
Read SKILL.md and its references. Use them in a compatible AI tool according to its instructions. Start with fictional data; do not upload passwords or client files.
- Check the result
Check facts, missing records and official sources. Any output remains a draft until reviewed; the kit does not submit or sign documents.
What if my AI tool cannot install skills?
Consult your tool’s file and instruction options. You may be able to attach or copy the instructions, but this is not the same as native installation. The kit does not include an AI account, subscription or a guarantee of compatibility with every application.
Official sources to consult
Check the rules and documents that apply to your particular situation. These links do not establish eligibility or approval.
