Get someone to work for you that is from there. You can hire someone very cheap. They know where everything in town is and can communicate for you with the town hall, business registration for your RUC number etc. The Nica partner thing works like ... Read More

PS have fun and enjoy the place. Be open about the type of employees you get. Nobody works like people work in the US or Europe. We have a place in the Bahamas and this reminds me a lot of the laid back island lifestyle. You need to be open and ... Read More

Starting a business in Nicaragua by Lazytrader

Plan on not being in a rush. Everything takes time here. Hire a good attorney. Find a Nica to partner with, it will make paperwork go smoother. You can change it back to your name once you have your residency papers. Get a RUC and pay taxes on ... Read More

She's right, you can get to Leon for cheaper than that using the bus. However as you said that you will be moving here I'm assuming you will have more than one bag and possibly several. Unless you speak fluent Spanish, then by all means go ... Read More

You can get from MGA to Leon for about $75 to $100. That's for a private driver or shuttle. Your hotel will have a service or at the very least a connection that can send a car for you. There are several other services that can do this as ... Read More

Bushamy is right. Less expats in estelli, jinotega, and matagalpa, but the weather is much cooler there and the wind is blowing constantly when u get up in the higher elevations. Don't worry about fitting into a community. They will love u. I ... Read More
