-Business Banking in Latin America-and how to protect your assets once you get started:
However
bad your Spanish is, once in Latin America you will soon start seeing
all kinds of business opportunities. Once you’ve found your business
“niche” (to me that means no GRINGO competition) you’ll need to have an
internet presence and a bank account. That said, how do you select a
solid offshore bank for your business accounts(s) that won’t be sucking
up to the US govt. and the 1st world legal system?

-Chinese food lovers? You’ve got a big problem if you live in Latin America:
-What will happen to small businesses in Latin America after the US and the rest of the 1st world outlaw the use of CASH?
-The trouble with Pay Pal In Latin America:
Yes
they have PP in Latin American, but it’s not such a great deal for
businesses and retail providers. Sure, consumers like it but sellers
hate it and here’s why…
-Text message overload (in Spanish): If
you’ve got a cheap cellphone, get ready for some constant text message
aggravation- in Spanish. What’s that all about?
- Naked Sim Cards: Millions of Latins use them… and so do smart Expat Gringos
-The
proliferating Latin American cell phone extortion racket: Though this
stuff rarely happens to gringos(except in Mexico) here’s a dirty little
secret you’ve just got to hear…
- Latin TV, in a word, simply SUCKS!!!:
Yes,
Latins love everything gringo and 1st world, even if it’s useless
over-hyped Ron Popeil junk like Ginzu Knives, Ab Crunchers, Chia-pets
and Buns of Steel. That said, slick Latin TV ad people have discovered
the “Gringo Advantage”. As long as anything is promoted on TV as a
genuine US product, it undoubtedly becomes a hit. So what’s the latest
“As Seen on TV” mega-fad gimmick? …..well, it’s a thick Velcro corset
that promises to suck in tummy flab and promote an instant hourglass
shape. They’re so popular they can’t keep those stupid things in stock!
What’s that say about the overweight and obesity problem in Latin
America? (sound familiar?)
