# The LLC path to Act 60 is open to Puerto Ricans. Bring a licensed advisor.

Any Puerto Rican can form an LLC and apply for an export-services decree; the complexity of the decree argues for professional help, not a solo run.

Any Puerto Rican can form an LLC and apply for an export-services decree under Act 60. That is the fact the noise about LLCs this week misses. Puerto Rico's primary entity types are LLC and Corporation [^1], and an LLC needs no minimum paid-in capital [^2]. The operating agreement is flexible and private [^3].

You apply through the Single Business Portal [^5]. The decree runs 15 years, renewable for another 15 [^4]. For resident owners, it exempts 100% of dividends and profit distributions [^7], and it cuts property taxes by 75% and municipal license taxes by 50% [^8].

None of this is a reason to go it alone. A decree is a contract with the government [^6]. That contract is exactly why you want a licensed advisor before you sign. The door is open. Walk through with someone who has read the fine print.
