Why anyone should move its e-commerce activities to Costa Rica?

a) Main Advantages

• US dollar based economy
• Earthquake free
• No taxes on foreign source income
• Excellent living conditions
• Fully bilingual certified engineers
• Best submarine fiber optic access of the region
• No pollution

b) Telecommunication infrastructure

Costa Rica has the best access to multiple high-bandwidth continental fiber optic networks in telecommunications infrastructure. The extremely low risk of natural disasters (hurricanes etc.), gives the Costa Rica telecom sector security and reliability of service as well as a competitive advantage over other offshore jurisdictions.

c) Accessibility for installation and maintenance

Costa Rica is extremely easy to access from almost anywhere, due to its central location in the middle of the Americas. Its proximity to large cities in the US and Europe makes it relatively cost effective to bring in specialist know how for installation and maintenance.

d) Relevant technical know how and human resources

Costa Rica's long history as a international banking and services jurisdiction, has resulted in the availability of technical know how in internet technology and information technology as well as sufficient human resources to install and maintain e­commerce operations.

e) Location

Accessing Costa Rica is easy from anywhere in the world. Living conditions are very similar to the US, but the cost of living is one-half.
