I am interested in finding an accountant/tax that can consult me on creating a legal business entity. Anyone have a recommendation?

I've heard that you need the help of an accountant, who have an expanded role in Bonaire and act much like a lawyer would in the US. I might also need the help of a "member" that is a citizen of Bonaire or NA.

My goal is to perform outsourced computer work for as long as the government will allow. :)

you will have lots of competition from locals. Will you be based here or the US?

I write software over the internet and can work anywhere in the world. so I'm looking to setup a business that will allow me to continue the consulting business and dive all the rest of time. So it won't be a bricks and mortar business. But it would be a business 100% based in bonaire aka NA.

NA no longer exists...we are now the BES Netherlands Caribbean. You may not need a permit for a business that is offshore but you will still be liable for taxes on world wide income.. check with Bruce Zavon at zavon@zavontax.com

Hmm.. Haven't had any luck with Bruce Zavon; a few emails and a phone call, but nothing.

We leave tomorrow morning! I'll have to check out that real estate guide it seems. Can't wait for some bubbles!

Vin, he's in Indonesia on a dive trip. I think he's back in another week or so. Hold out for him, because he would be your "go to" guy for this situation
