Hello-
I am a full-time student at WSU in Washington, USA. I am currently doing a research project on doing international business in Panama. I was wondering if anybody would be willing to share any extra legal issues they are aware of when doing business in Panama?
Thank You

The most important thing about doing business in Panama ? Local Connections.

Local connections? Could you go into more detail? Are you saying the success of your business relies greatly on who you know?

Thanks!

If business is anything like getting a job then yes it will depend on who you know. A lot of people get jobs 'por palanca' I think is the phrase

Hi 11KUKI!

Please avoid writing in caps lock as well.

Thanks and regards
