Invest in Guate

A long time ago, in faraway city, I was once involved with private equity; raising money for small businesses, whether startups, capital for growth or mergers & acquisitions.  I learned to use my analytical skills to find good investment opportunities.  Although that’s a long time in the past, I haven’t forgotten how to spot a good business opportunity, and there are many of them in Guatemala.

Right now I’m collecting information and starting to put together business plans for capitalizing on these investment opportunities.  Some are very small (under $10k), others are quite large (over $5mm), but all have five characteristics in common:

• A great niche
• Diversification from US and European economies
• Superior investment results (target=20% a year or better)
• Can be funded with qualified retirement plans (IRA, Roth, etc.)
• Employ Guatemalans

If you’re thinking about moving to Guatemala and are looking for opportunities, send me an email and I’ll put you on my distribution list for eventual discussion.  Write ‘invest in Guate’ in your subject line.  My email is mark AT guateliving DOT com.

I also provide due diligence reports on businesses I’ve evaluated but decided not to puruse.  These are for your education and edification.  In this way you will learn how I perform due diligence, the things I am learning about particular businesses and also business in general in Guate.  If you ask to be on my ‘Invest in Guate’ list you’ll receive these occasionally as well.
