If it helps anyone I was quoted from a recommended lawyer, $13k for an SRL and approx $7-8k to Trademark. You need to add 21% VAT on top of this as well. Inflation will cause havoc with these numbers but using today's rate should assist as a benchmark. Official $9.4 / Blue $16

Did an Azimo run yesterday. They had 2 $50 peso bills in what should have been a stack of $100's. Not a catastrophic amount but be careful in case skimming is happening at the Argpenar offices.

I have access to my Smallworld account again now however when trying to complete the payment I keep being taken to Barclaycard who is processing the card payment and says the transaction is invalid. Ive tried creating new transactions and have the same issue. Im wondering if Barclays will not...

I tried using a VPN over the weekend to do a Smallworld transfer and it blocked my account. When I can finally get through to customer service I need to determine if this was the reason it was blocked.

Not a huge rugby nut but World Cup is always fun and a good excuse for a few pints. It looks like the Puma's are playing New Zealand this Sunday at 12:45pm on ESPN (someone jump in and correct me if I have this local time wrong!). Anyone interested in going? Suggestions for a place to watch...

Hi, i've read through about a dozen historical threads on the legal cost of incorporating an SRL but the amounts quoted from the results i've found are out of date (many by a few years). Has anyone recently incorporated an SRL with an attorney and if so, what is the range I should expect to pay...

So ive seen a few Boca Jnr games through the exorbitantly priced tour packages and would like to buy tickets direct from the stadium for a River game. From what I read online River has now gone to a membership system like Boca Jnr and it seems you now need to be a member to buy tickets? Is...

A few people have suggested changing the proxy to mask your IP/location, supplanting a UK IP address when paying by debit card. I will try this next transfer in a few weeks using my 'Hola' app although if someone is able to do this earlier and confirm it works for Smallworld on this thread that...

In my case, yes my bank has approved the use of the card offshore. I used the same UK debit card to book an Azimo transfer. When I called UK Citi they said they had never heard of an instance where a vendor had taken it upon themselves to deny the use of a debit card from offshore. This made me...

I had the exact same problem, with SmallWorld this week. Absolute nightmare. They said my transaction was declined because I tried using my UK Citibank card outside of the UK. They said it was an "accounting department" decision which sounds idiotic but there you go. Problem is it tied up my...

Smallworld offered me the same Argpener locations as Azimo. Havent made a pickup yet but will book it through them next time. AV. ANTARTIDA ARGENTINA 1160 LOC. 1 AV. CORRIENTES 2451 PB OF. 25 AV. CORRIENTES Nº 3553 ENTRE BILLINGHURST Y SANCHEZ DE BUSTAMANTE AV. DEL BARCO CENTENERA Nº 3402...

Ok, so I've suggested ARCA a few times now and a lot of people respond to this suggestion that it's a waste of money (but kindly caveat that it's a persons personal choice). I knew the cost before I moved to BA and therefore had saved for it when not reliant on earning pesos. I have nothing to...

I have an excellent Abogada, they guarantee results or 100% money back. Ask for Lorena, she goes above and beyond. http://www.argentinaresidency.com/

Thanks Steve, spoke with the broker, they are willing to negotiate so I guess market conditions are favourable right now. Always pays to ask...

Ok, so I have a brokers contract in front of me for a commercial lease and there is a clause about fees. They state that at the time of signing, 5% of the lease value (5 year contract) will be due. My question is, for commercial leases, is this standard practice? Cash flow will be critical for...

Just finished speaking with property brokers today. Normally the guarantee can be avoided for commercial leases if you post 3-4 months rent in advance, effectively a security bond. There is the possibility some owners will reject this and require a guarantee however my brokers are confident in...

Thanks all for your help with this, ElQueso I especially feel your pain. Richard T, it looks like the link you provided is targeted more for low income or at risk tenants for personal property leases. Not sure a gringo trying to start a business would qualify for this program. Would be great...

Thanks for the information. I read it and it has a limit of 15k p/m whereas my lease will be greater than 30k. I just reached out to the bank to see if another type of guarantee exists with them. I may also have problems because it wants proof of income which may be possible using a simple...

Hi, I am about to start the process of securing a commercial lease in the city. I know the question of a 'warranty' or 'guarantee' will inevitably arise. My question is two-fold: 1) In the context of a lease in Argentina, how is a warranty/guarantee defined? 2) If a warranty/guarantee can not...

Oh man, I just learnt about Smallworld now and its rates are soooo much better than Azimo for GBP. I also have been going to the same Argpenar location for the last few Azimo pickups (2451 Corrientes) and the lines have been horrific (1.5hr wait). Went to 3553 Corrientes today and I went...
