During a webinar between the Consejo Nacional de la Judicatura of El Salvador and the Centro Nacional de Registro (CNR), the "Analysis of the reforms to the Commercial Code regarding Sociedades por Acciones Simplificadas (SAS)”, was carried out. This tool aims to facilitate the formalization and registration of businesses electronically, by Certified Electronic Signature (FEC), and with a capital of only US$1.

In this webinar, the CNR detailed that an increase in business registrations through this platform has been reported, with more than 810 procedures created in the web portal.

This project has allowed 70% of the SAS to open a bank account in institutions of the salvadoran financial system.

Another benefit is that it does not require the appointment of an external auditor, nor the preparation of a public deed, explained the executive director of the institution, Camilo Trigueros.

According to the CNR, the highest demand for this type of procedure has been registered in San Salvador, with 82 registered businesses; followed by La Libertad, with a total of 26; San Miguel and Santa Ana with six; Usulután with four businesses, Ahuachapán and Morazán with three; while Chalatenango, La Unión and San Vicente registered one business.
