CORPORATE RELOCATION

The Corporate Relocation Conferences 2008
Your Chance to Change the Future

CORPORATE RELOCATION MADE SIMPLE

“I was speaking with my brother yesterday about relocating a business to Honduras, and he said he could do it anytime, just needed someone he could trust to be there and run it. He's in the appliance recycling business, among many others. He’s dead serious about laying the ground work so … he just needs some guidance.” – B.N. – Maryland, in recent email to Honduras Corporate Relocation Conference 2008 coordinator.

This business like so many others has already made the decision to relocate, and is now in the 'where do I go from here?' stage.  Thats a tough one, it’s true. But, with the right on-the-ground guidance and insider assistance, that fear of risking the future becomes a chance to change the future – for the better.

There’s no doubt that even with all of the clear-cut advantages corporation relocation offers to many of today’s small, medium, and large-size companies, moving offshore is a major step. It’s often wrung from desperation, frequently wrought with trepidation.  And that’s understandable. As the Scarecrow told Dorothy on the road to Oz, “It’s a long journey through a dangerous country.”

That is why Caribpro.com and the Offshore Opportunities Network have joined forces this year to present the Corporate Relocation Conferences 2008.   Caribpro.com has been the premier website in the business of relocation to the Caribbean for 12 years. And OON brings a wealth of real estate and offshore conference experience to the partnership.

CORPORATE RELOCATION CONFERENCES
Clearly, the need for offshore opportunities is real and growing. As Business Week reported in June of 2007, “Paul B. Toms, Jr., CEO of publicly traded Hooker Furniture Corp, recently closed his company’s last remaining domestic wood-furniture manufacturing plant, in Martinsville, Va. It was the culmination of a wrenching process that started in 2000, when Hooker still made the vast majority of its products in the U.S. Toms didn’t want to go overseas, he says, but he couldn’t pass up the 20% to 25% savings to be gleaned from manufacturing there.”

Toms isn’t alone. Other companies that have relocated, IT and manufacturing alike, report savings of 30%, 40%, and more. For many, the savings in regulatory compliance and tax abatements alone can mean the difference between shutting down or surviving, between joining the growing list of companies that simply can no longer afford to operate on U.S. soil – or starting to grow and produce anew offshore!

The key for any company or corporate executive is to find good advice, reliable contacts, and solid support right there, on the ground.

The Corporate Relocation Conferences 2008 series offers all of that – and more – at the right time, in the right place.

THE HONDURAS CONFERENCE
The Honduras Conference will be the first of this monthly series of corporate relocation events to be held throughout the coming year. Future conferences are already being scheduled for Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Trinidad.

At the Honduras Corporate Relocation Conference and those that follow, the agenda will feature:

• Top government officials providing the latest information about substantial corporate and personal tax breaks (how does zero sound?), regulatory shortcuts, financial assistance, and other special incentives designed to help make the transition quick and easy.

• Leading corporate executives offering their own firsthand insights into what it takes to set up and run a successful business in a foreign country. From every sector of the Honduran business community, they’ll help guide you step by step up the corporate ladder of success.

• Knowledgeable tax attorneys providing an overview of U.S. and Honduras tax laws and answering your specific questions about how to protect your assets and minimize your domestic and foreign tax liability.

• Experienced financial analysts advising you on how to maximize every dollar invested by taking advantage of public and private programs designed to attract foreign capital.

• Title experts, real estate advisors, banking executives, workforce analysts, medical and education experts – all of these, and more, will be on hand to help you decide where and when to make your move.

Corporate relocation may seem like “a long journey through a dangerous country,” but it’s only a few short months until early May.
