Becoming a Part of Puerto Rico’s Economy
Situated in the northeastern Caribbean, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has been experiencing growth spurts that outpace other countries in the area, including the Dominican Republic. While Puerto Rico may have been temporarily afflicted by the wave of devastation brought on by Hurricane Irma in 2017, the country is still very much a viable market for your organization to run its business. This is especially true for the capital city of Puerto Rico, San Juan.
Puerto Rico’s economy is diverse. While it may be largely driven by the service industry and tourism, industries such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and textiles have prospered well there. There is also a hidden benefit to doing business in Puerto Rico. Many US-based business owners choose Puerto Rico as a base for its tax benefits and because the cost of labor is relative to the rest of the United States.
So if you’re wondering how to become a part of the increasingly robust economy of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico toll-free numbers may be just the way to enter this exciting market.
