Panama is the most
developed and industrialized country in Central
America. This combined with its location at the crossroads of the
Americas and an investor-friendly tax system has recently made it a
prime starting place for companies and individuals seeking
opportunities in the region.
Many companies find that the best way to
break into the market is to partner with a local company. We work with
our contacts in the country to vet potential business
partners,
identify risks and ensure that your interests are protected. Likewise, individuals
who seek investment
opportunities
in the country should protect themselves against unscrupulous vendors. Bakker DeLaCruz works
with local contacts to check out
the following: bank guarantees, building licenses, seller background
check/corporate registration verification and land title confirmation. We also
work work with them to help you take advantage of the laws designed to
attract foreign investment.
The
Netherlands is the Delaware of continental Europe. It is also known as the gateway to Europe. It is the
European hub of over 1,700 North American businesses because its
strategic location, pro-business government, tax laws and sophisticated
labor
force make it
easier to launch or expand operations in Europe. In addition,
the
US is the largest foreign investor in the Netherlands. Bakker DeLaCruz
can help you vet potential partners and coordinate with local counsel
to ensure your interests are protected. We also ensure that your
European operations are in compliance with the long reach of many US
regulations. Finally, we help you take advantage of the national
investment incentives, including substantial subsidies,
services and tax exemptions available to both foreign and Dutch companies.
