Onboarding Services

Comprehensive solutions in one place

Starting operations in the Free Trade Zone regime requires a partner that understands both you and your business

At BDO we work under a clear premise: each company that invests in Costa Rica deserves a clear and organized process accompanied by experts. We understand that entering the Free Trade Zone Regime implies a critical decision affecting structure, profitability, and future. That is why we do not offer isolated services, but rather we offer a complete solution, designed so that you can focus on your business operation while we take care of all the steps and paperwork needed to turn your investment into reality.

Our Free Trade Zone services line is born out of close and long-term relationships with global companies that have trusted in us to accompany them while they establish or grow their operations in Costa Rica. We have experience with multinational firms from dynamic industry sectors such as Life Sciences, Shared Services Centers, technology and development, manufacturing and free trade zone park administrators, that have trusted in BDO as their strategic ally in Costa Rica. Our clients needed a partner that went beyond legal or tax advisors, that incorporated all the elements of the process and responded with agility, experience and vision.

With this in mind we came up with Onboarding Services by BDO – comprehensive solutions in one place.
