Navigating the Costa Rican investment landscape requires a keen understanding of both the opportunities and the legal framework. While Costa Rica offers attractive incentives for foreign investors, such as tax benefits and a stable political environment, due diligence is paramount. Carefully consider factors like property rights, corporate structuring, and compliance with local regulations to ensure a secure and successful investment. Engage experienced legal counsel early in the process to mitigate potential risks and maximize your investment’s potential.
