Guatemala Company and bank account for lottery business?

[predator]

Hi Guys,

I need to know what the rules are in Guatemala in matters of company formation and bank account opening there for a lottery / gambling business?

I know that in Costa Rica it is allowed but they can't open bank accounts because of the nature of business. Now I was wondering how the rules are in Guatemala, does someone know?

I need a complete setup please.

Hi! It is about the same, in fact if you want to open a lottery business in Guatemala you have to use a Non Profit Organisation to support your income. According to law gambling is forbidden. Nevertheless there are a lots of casinos in the country that work hidden under a NPO. According to law all the income from lottery has to go the a NPO account that helps children or poor people.

So for lottery/gambling purposes there is no way you can open a corporation in Guatemala.

Thank you so it is like with most other jurisdictions you have to hide your activity in order to conduct this business correct?

If lottery business is not accepted how do they have it with Porn websites? do you know of a bank maybe in Guatemala that accept this business?

Does Guatemala allow Adult Entertainment business? I need at least a bank account for this business?

The problem may be more the banking than the company formation there.

It's always the banking for Adult business that is the problem it seems. There are still a few banks available in Latvia that accept Adult Entertainment.

Is more complicated with banks than opening a corporation.

If you take the whole package yes! If you get the simple package then no.

If you only want to get a bank account for wiring money and then taking out, they ask you all the documents duly translate into Spanish and a power of attorney to a Guatemala lawyer so he can open the bank account on your behalf.
If you want to get a credit card processor then you need to open the corporation in the country and then you can get the processor.

The easiest of course is to open a bank account with a Guatemalan corporation, it takes usually one hour to get the bank account number and 5 days to get the check book and Internet token (when all the documents are delivered)
