PANAMA BUSINESS TIP
#1: When paying out a substantial expense, take close notice
of the entity described on the receipt. You want it to be the
person with which you're doing business in Panama; not some corporation
in the Bahamas. This may be okay; however, if you trust the person
for which you are doing business. All income generated outside
Panama is tax free.
PANAMA BUSINESS TIP #2: Once
you find a reliable attorney in Panama, ask for a reliable real estate
broker, banker, or anything else you may need. People are careful
only to send their clients to reliable and trusted contacts.
You'll be rarely disappointed. There's no BBB in Panama that we
know of. Personal relationships and trust mean everything.
PANAMA BUSINESS
TIP #3: Don't criticize openly. Resentments run deep
when you embarrass people in Latin America. They hold grudges and
they are very patient. In the U.S., criticism is taken with a
grain of salt and people usually get over it in business. In
contrast, Latin American business deals with much more ego. Bruise
an ego and you're headed for trouble.
PANAMA BUSINESS TIP #4:
Personal attention and care means a great deal. Show unconditional
positive regard and enthusiasm. Follow up after the sale.
The personal touch, relationships, loyalty and trust mean much more in
Latin America business.
PANAMA
BUSINESS TIP #5:
Generosity goes a long way,
especially if you're a foreign in Panama. Sharing expendable
resources tears down impersonal barriers and creates good will.
The dividends will be repaid many times over with helpful suggestions
and people will look out for you.
