Deb; I would suggest contacting a company called Servex International S.A.. Talk or email Carlos Bravo. Servex@racsa.co.cr or telephone 506-253-1152
I have referred many many people to him and his company. Not 1 complaint over the years.
He will advise you of method of shipping, what to bring or not to bring, what to expect time wise etc.
It will be worth your time contacting himScott, it really does not matter what type of business you want to start here in c.R. First you must be legal. That is you must have a status which allows a person to work. The “real” fact is that if you were to start a sandwich shop for example the Government would consider you as a person taking a job away from a Costa Rican. Thus you woud never get permission to operate.
If you have enought money to invest then the Government will consider your obtaining a “resident investor” status. That is a US$50,000 minimum. Getting your status is your first step.
Being a Pensionado or Rentista DOES NOT allow you to work. Look up on the web for information of C.R. immigration. Really should be your first step. (I’ll have my sandwich well toasted please)I have been very satisfied with a company here called Costa Rica Expertise. Not only with the cost of a IBC but with their ability to maintain the books and file the required paperwork annually.
The operative word here is, “no surprises”. Suggest you arrange to meet with principals in person when here.
