Special Purpose Vehicles in Argentina: When an SPV Can Fit Your Project

By /

A special purpose vehicle (SPV) in Argentina can help investors isolate a defined project, asset or transaction within a clear legal structure. It is not a universal shortcut: the right vehicle depends on liability, funding, governance, tax and regulatory considerations.

When an SPV may fit

An SPV may be considered for a real-estate project, infrastructure investment, joint venture, acquisition or other activity that benefits from separating its contracts and financial reporting from a wider group. The objective should be written in practical terms before incorporation begins.

Key design questions

  • What asset, project or contract will the vehicle hold?
  • Who will own, fund and govern it?
  • What approvals, licences or registrations could the activity require?
  • How will the SPV report to investors and related companies?

Build the local foundation

A coherent local setup supports due diligence and ongoing administration. SAXIA can assist with company formation in Argentina, a registered address and mail service, and a legal representative in Argentina for local coordination.

Do not overlook substance and compliance

An SPV still needs appropriate books, contracts, records and decision-making. Separating a project on paper does not remove tax, labour, reporting or sector-specific duties. Obtain independent legal and tax advice before selecting the structure.
