Colombia’s global perception on gang violence may change

Oct. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Foreign direct investment and tourism in Colombia are not at the level one would expect for such a beautiful and moderately rich country (Columbia is relatively rich in natural resources).

Colombia is notorious for gang violence and drug production, and has suffered significant internal losses totalling more than 200,000 (http://money.cnn.com/2015/10/05/news/economy/colombia-farc-peace-economic-growth/) casualties, from the ongoing political-guerrilla conflict.

However, in 2015 the opposing Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have agreed on a preliminary agreement to finally reach peace with the Government.

Healy Consultants estimates this move towards peace and end of the arms race will significantly boost Colombia’s economic perception and open new gateways for direct investment.

Contrary to popular belief it is not that difficult to setup a Colombian LLC company, but it is rather time-consuming due to red tape. That said, the country imposes minimal requirements to establish a new business, including lack of capital requirements and only one director and shareholder to be appointed, with no resident director requirement.
