it is a hundred times better then doing business next door in Guyana.there are hurdles when trying to obtain permanent residency and licenses etc.But once you're up its good.
I wanted to start a small to medium sized gold mining operation in Guyana and I would have gotten killed and robbed if it wasn't for a very good friend that i met there.Guyanese will befriend you until they see an option to cheat you out of your cash,and from that point it can be a very scary experience.
I setup my business here now and everything is doing just fine now,my wife is pregnant again,so no complaining.
recruiting is difficult in Suriname,i find the people here extremely lazy,undisciplined and not energetic enough. all the younger people here think they can become rich overnight somehow.
you can hire 5 guys and a week later you will be left with one.
foreign investors are welcome,language can be a barrier,and the tax office is a hell hole.the chamber of commerce is OK,they speak fluent English and are knowledgeable of all rules and regulations
o yeah,the burglars here are making you crazy,you need burglar bars,alarm system and guard dogs.And still they will try it,they poisoned two of my rotties last week.
gom & trom RIP
