If you are looking for sensible, secure investment ideas, it’s important to remember that arranging your financial affairs to you best advantage is similar to a game of chess.

But unlike chess, the rules concerning your finances are constantly changing and becoming more complicated.

When you invest ‘onshore’ in Canada, you have absolutely no financial privacy and woefully inadequate asset protection against creditors or predators.

When you work with qualified experts, like the Queen in a game of chess, you will enjoy the power, privacy, protection and the freedom to move as far as you wish in any direction.

Thanks to a large expatriate community, the investment community in Costa Rica is growing rapidly. It is happening because there is considerably less bureaucratic burden and unnecessary legal expense.

In other words, it is fairly efficient. Business will always flow to the most efficient environment and money will always go where it’s treated best.

For Canadians who wish to invest, it’s good to know that Costa Rica has everything that a sophisticated, international investor needs in an offshore financial center but don’t leave your brain on the plane! You must still do your homework.

Costa Rica is a beautiful, stable and peaceful country with good privacy laws, hard working, qualified professionals who will ensure that your assets are protected properly and, zero taxes in Costa Rica for those international investors who make their profits outside the country.

Companies like Amazon.com, Procter & Gamble have made huge investments here and the professional services firms are now moving their operations out of San Jose towards Escazu and Santa Ana where you will find KPMG, Bristol Myers, Western Union, Unisys and Cisco Systems.

You must however find legal, tax and investment professionals that are qualified to help you invest offshore safely, privately and profitably.
