Doing Business in Paraguay - An Insider's Guide to Success - Kerstin Teicher - Bog

Paraguay is one of the few countries in Latin America that has positive economic data and a stable economy and democracy, despite large, crisis-ridden neighbors such as Argentina and Brazil. The country's growth has been financially stable for years - reason enough to take a closer look at Paraguay when making an investment decision in Latin America.

In its 130 pages, the book offers information on all important aspects of doing business in Paraguay:
- Legal forms
- Tax system
- Setting up a company (freelance as well as corporate)
- Financial investments
- Investment incentives
- Success stories and success factors
- Personnel and marketing
- Dealing with Paraguayans
- Peculiarities in everyday business life
- Organizational information (flight, hotel, traffic, electricity, telecommunications, money/banks)
- Detailed index.
All information is newly researched (2023) and therefore includes all new developments such as the tax reform of 2020 and the consequences for companies and freelancers, the new legal form of the EAS and other legal changes, as well as numerous case studies of successful companies - based on exclusive interviews.
But even in Paraguay, success does not fall from the sky. Therefore this book also presents examples of a wide variety of companies and fields of activity and highlights the success factors systematically collected and evaluated in numerous interviews.
There are also valuable insider tips that can save you a lot of money! The book is not an immigration guide - but immigrants who want to become economically active can also benefit from the content.
Paraguay also has an excellent investment climate. It offers numerous investment incentives with high tax benefits, and profits can be freely transferred abroad. Of particular interest to manufacturing companies are the very competitive energy and labor costs. As over 99% of the energy is generated by hydropower, this is also an attractive location from an environmental point of view. Labor costs are up to 50% lower than in Brazil, which has a large labor force, and energy costs are about 60% lower. With a corporate tax rate of only 10%, Paraguay is an exiting opportunity.
