I've done a lot of research on opening a business in the Caribbean. Something that eases entry into a business down there is having a native partner. In fact, many islands and countries require this.

we are looking at panama and nicaragua, and right now we like panama. You have to hire locals to run it, but you do not have to have a local partner. Or at least that we have read. One thing we have read is that the rules are always shifting, and some rules apply to you and some rules apply to others.

Its just an idea at this point but the coffee in general sucks down there despite growing it. And with a large ex-pat community I think a coffee shop could do well, especially if you also roasted beans (no export) and paired it with food and alcohol.

I think the most important thing I need to do is improve my spanish.
