Please find the most recent information by visiting the following link: https://www.bizlatinhub.com/10-steps-register-company-costa-rica-incorporation-agent/ Since 2010, Costa Rica has enjoyed strong and stable economic growth. It currently has a great variety of exports such as bananas, beef, coffee and sugar. Although these agricultural products are still an important part of the economy, high tech-related goods and services have taken over as main exports. In addition, it has the US-Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR). These and great political stability have made Costa Rica a key spot in the world for offshore investors to set up businesses with exceptional success prospects. In order to help you get a better insight into the steps in this process, our Costa Rican business experts have created a company formation presentation.
