I’m based in Asunción and plan to sell clothing through Instagram and deliver locally. I want to do everything legally, but I’m not sure if I must register as a sole trader or form a company, and what registrations come first. What filings, tax registration, and municipal permits are typically required?

If you want to sell clothing legally from Asunción (Paraguay) on Instagram and deliver locally, most small sellers choose to register una Empresa por Acciones Simplificada (EAS) — the simple company form that you can set up even as a single person quickly and online through the SUACE system. Afterwards, you should register with the national tax authority (DNIT) so you can issue legal tax documents and pay taxes like VAT/IRE. Additionally, it is highly advisable to register your store name as a trademark to prevent similar or confusing uses by third parties and protect your brand as your online business grows.
