A Guide to doing Business with Mexico

By: Bob Smith

Mexico, the fifth largest country of the Americas, has an upper middle income population and is predicted to become one of the 6th largest economies of the world by 2050. Tourism, automotive, building and construction, transportation and financial and insurance services are major industries in Mexico. Mexicans, they say, do business if a relationship is built. Unlike many other parts of the world, starting a business can be complicated.

In Mexico, rarely does finalizing a deal happen over the phone; Mexicans like to face to face, so be prepared to have at least a couple of meetings over lunch and dinner. Once a deal is clinched, a good way of sealing it is to cash in on an order for a few transactions until a level of trust is built.

Mexico is one of the best countries to invest in, if you are looking to enter a profitable Latin American market, as it is abundant with both natural and human resources.

According to the World Tourism Organization, Mexico has one of the largest tourism industries in the world. Tourism is the third largest sector of the country's industrial GDP and it is the only country in Latin America to be within the top 25 international tourist destinations.

Real estate is a fairly profitable business in Mexico. However, although the direct ownership of property in the interiors of Mexico is legal to foreigners, it is illegal for outsiders to entirely own property within the restricted zone. Should you wish to purchase real estate or set up your business within this zone, a real-estate trust must be set up to hold the title in your name.
Since one is not able to enter into direct contracts in buy real estate in Mexico, it is necessary to have the bank act on one's behalf, similar to the way a trust is used to hold property for minors because they cannot enter into contracts.

The availability of a professional and skilled labour force is a great advantage for investors in Mexico. In addition to its labour resources, the existence of economic stability and the several incentives provided by the International Free Trade Agreements make Mexico, a favourable investment option.

Access to seamless transportation links with all the NAFTA countries, Europe, Asia and Latin America from Mexico has helped to develop the growth potential of businesses in the region. Also, the interstate highway system of the United States has aided the foreign trade opportunities of the country.
