Hi, I'm playing as Chile, and I recently conquered the La Paz territory from Bolivia. This territory has nearly doubled my population, and I would like to immediately build some factories on there to make some basic goods but no matter what I can not seem to be able to do this. What steps must I take in order to allow my population to start building some factories.
 
Could be many things. The easiest way to find out why you cannot is to select a province within the region in question, find the 'build factory' button, and hover your cursor over it. It'll tell you the conditions you don't meet.

Here's a screenshot in case you don't know where the button is:

I'm playing with AHD so the interface is slightly different. However my government does not allow for me to build factories, so I am hoping for the capitalists to kick in and start building factories, which they are unfortunately not doing. It appears I meet the criteria needed to allow factories to be built, however I just can't do it myself, and I am trying to figure out why.

I guess what I am asking is what are the conditions needed for the capitalists to start the funding of a new factory.

Lower your middle class taxes as well..and keep an eye on the proposed projects in your country, and as others said, stick a national focus on your desired industry, and invest in it when it comes along..if it ever does.
