This is a new concept but one that is gaining in popularity. This is for the nautically inclined only with boating skills that are developed. Basically you live your present country and become a citizen of the world traveling perpetually on your yacht. While all this sounds great you still need to have papers and documents of registration and passports to avoid constant hassles with authorities wherever you go. So what can be done is as follows:

You form an anonymous Panama SA company (bearer shares). This company then buys a yacht for at least $150,000. Now you need to hire three Panamanians for at least $253.00 a month each. So you have deckhands, crew, cook etc. This would let you get residency in Panama quickly and after three years you could apply for citizenship and get a Panama passport. You could also do a version of this using the small investor visa to do it with a $40,000 investment and three employees on your fishing or touring boat. You can get a Panama cell phone, mail box, bank account, visa debit card, atm card and you can travel the world. For most this isn't feasible but it is fun to dream anyway.

Investor Visa (Inversionista)

Designed for those who wish to establish a business in Panama (note, though, that some retail businesses and some professions are reserved to Panamanians).  There must be a minimum investment of $150,000 and minimum of three, permanent Panamanian employees hired. It is granted provisionally for one year and after renewal is granted permanently with the right to be issued a cedula identity card. Five years after obtaining the permanent visa, holders will be eligible to apply for Panamanian nationality.

Small Business Investor Visa

(Inversionista de Pequeсa Empresa)

Designed for those who wish to establish a small business in Panama (note that retail businesses and some professions are reserved to Panamanians).  There must be a minimum investment of $40,000 and minimum of three permanent Panamanian employees hired.  It is granted provisionally for one year, and needs to be renewed three more times before it is granted permanently with the right to a cedula. Five years after obtaining the permanent visa, holders will be eligible to obtain Panamanian nationality.

The elusive dream of a successful business depends on how well you attract the interest of potential clients.  In order to attract clients, you need to capture the imagination of aspiring and existing business owners everywhere.  Making such a big impression establishes professionalism and creates trust and confidence.

The growth of the call center industry signals the beginning of a new age in business and communications.  During the past few decades, there has been a major transformation in the way people work, socialize, communicate, and engage in business. Call centers offer a variety of services to organizations and customers such as answering calls, handling orders, complaints, providing technical support to customers, direct response advertising, infomercials, etc.  The demand for call centers increases as businesses diversify and their products and services become more complex.

In today’s global economy, call centers optimize a client company's investment in human capital by providing market differentiation, brand identity and commitment, and ultimately, operational success.  Their business strategy is built on excellence in such areas as technology, database management, and the human capital.

Clients who are always on the go will not sit up with a recorded message when they call.  Having trained customer service agents to answer the phone for you gives you the enhanced image and professionalism clients always look forward to.  No one knows that these agents are not inside your office.  These agents can talk to people all over the world anytime and and access vast amounts of information at the click of the mouse.   They take pride in providing the most advanced solutions and technologies in the industry.  You need to let the client believe that you can fit into the high-powered executive world just as well as anyone.

Call centers do more than just provide a 24/7 "live" call answering service and take phone messages for you. They help screen the calls to minimize your interruptions yet they can just as easily connect to you an important caller in seconds. The need to make an immediate human connection is a concern of every potential clients.  A client's first phone call inquiry is so important that is why it is necessary to make that good first impression as well.

The call center industry has paved the way for cost-efficient work force.  It has reduced overhead, employee paperwork, and extra expenses that are usually associated with hiring employees, acquiring furnitures, as well as office equipment and technology.  No more hassles of having enough phone lines and repair maintenance.  With customer service agents to answer the calls 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, you get a toll-free business phone number and only pay for actual calls answered.

Part of the service that call centers offer is to gather important contact information for your sales and marketing campaigns.  They take the time to get to know your business, find out who your clients are, and identify what customer service needs you can offer.

With the proliferation of call centers, the vision of flowing profits, industry respect, thrilled customers, and a successful business is as easy as saying “hello”.

Vans can be a popular choice for a vehicle for those that have a large or expanding family or those that have a lot of items to cart around with them on a regular basis; it is especially popular with companies that want a set monthly expense, as apposed to those that need to part with large one off payments. Leasing a van can be a very good option for those that feel they are in need of a van, for personal or commercial use. Leasing a van involves the individual or company renting the van for a defined period of time for a set monthly payment every month until the lease expires. There are many advantages to leasing a van and just a few disadvantages that should be considered before one decides on van leasing.

One of the biggest advantages in van leasing is that there is no large payment due at the beginning of the leasing period. There is a deposit due at the beginning of the lease period but this payment is generally quite small and totals only about one, two or three of the monthly payments in the lease period. The monthly payments involved in van leasing are also usually quite lower than those when purchasing a van. Not only does this save the individual or company leasing the van quite a bit of money but it can also make leasing a great opportunity for driving the van of the individual’s choice for the short-term.

Van leasing also allows for the individual to give up a van after it has been driven for a couple of years. At that time, the individual may consider the van to be outdated or they may simply not want to stay with a van that has been run down with regular use. Once the leasing period is up, the individual can simply return the van to the leasing company and enter into a new lease for a new van.

With all of these advantages to van leasing, it’s important to note that there are some disadvantages. The biggest one of those is that one doesn’t actually own the van at any time. Even during the period that the individual is driving the van it is not theirs. It always remains the property of the leasing company.

Another disadvantage to van leasing is that it can be difficult to calculate the annual mileage and other charges. A leased van has a set number of miles that can be accumulated on it. If the number of miles exceeds this number, the charges can be quite costly. To avoid this, it’s important to accurately calculate the mileage that one does in a year. Miscalculating this can lead to heavy charges that the individual or company leasing the van wasn’t expecting. Other charges that may be included in a lease is that the individual will have to pay for any damages to the vehicle. Although this would probably be the case should the person own the van outright, there may be some minor damages that the individual wouldn’t bother in fixing if the van were their own property?

Unlike a loan, it can still cost the person leasing the van quite a bit even if they want to settle the lease early. Unlike a vehicle loan, settling early with a van lease usually means that the individual still needs to pay the interest on the remaining months.

Van leasing usually has more advantages than disadvantages. However, one must do their research and make sure that this is the right option for them before entering into an agreement.
