Belize Shark Tank Investment Event for 2018 Announced

Caye International Bank will host the Belize Shark Tank Investment event. It is designed to bring attention to Belize’s private sector and the important role these small and medium-sized businesses play within the local community.

The American reality television show “Shark Tank” is an international hit, and it has existed in some form since as early as 2001. In San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, this same concept was implemented to create the Belize Shark Tank investment event.

The event, hosted by Caye International Bank, is designed to bring attention to Belize’s private sector and the important role these small and medium-sized businesses play within the local community.

Shark Tank—Belizean Style

To enter the event, startups and entrepreneurs submit their business proposals for consideration. These submissions are vetted, and the best projects are selected and presented before the panel of “sharks” and investors.

The previous Shark Tank investment event showcased exceptionally innovative products and services. It was a remarkable success and this year’s event is on pace to be the biggest one yet.

The Chairman of Caye International Bank, Ambassador Joel Nagel said that the event; “is designed to help Belizean startups and early-stage companies who have the potential to become tomorrow’s leaders in tourism, agriculture, export industries, and the financial services sector. All these small to medium sized companies who will be vying for the winning prize are all vital to Belize’s economic growth. They will not only provide jobs for hundreds of Belizeans but also directly contribute to an increased standard of living. The overall success of these companies in the local and international market will help to diversify the private sector and create a more robust economy within Belize.”

Showcasing Belize’s Brightest Entrepreneurs and Startups

This year’s Shark Tank event hopes to attract many of Belize’s young entrepreneurs and startup companies. All Belize media companies are openly invited to come and witness the show, as these individuals compete and present their ideas before a panel of investors and celebrity judges for the grand total prize of BZD $10,000.

By highlighting these local businesses, more sales and money can be redirected back into the local region. For small businesses in Belize, just participating in the Shark Tank investment event can offer incredible marketing and advertising benefits.

The official panel of sharks will be announced shortly, and the deadline for entry submission is on the 26^th of March. For further information about the Shark Tank event hosted in April, please contact Hazel Gutierrez by email: hgutierrez@cayebank.bz or phone: 501-226-2388.

Strategies for Offshore Investing Novices

Many investors are attracted to the opportunities offered by international investing. While some realize they need to learn a little more about how to make the most of those opportunities, others tend to think that investing offshore is just like domestic investing, just in a different location. The fact is that if you want to be successful with offshore investing, there are a few lessons that must be learned up front.

Who Needs Offshore Savings Accounts

Just some of the people who can benefit from offshore savings accounts include those in search of a diverse portfolio, those who want lower taxes, parents and grandparents, those who want more financial privacy and those who live or travel overseas.

Why International Banking in Belize is a Great Option

Belize is located on the Yucatan Peninsula, and it’s just a short distance away from Cancun, Mexico and Cozumel. It houses the second largest coral reef, and it is the only English speaking nation in all of the America’s. The infrastructure is far from being developed, but the international banking system is competitive with other developed nations. The country has some enthusiastic policies in place toward offshore banking investors, and they make it one of the primary choices in international banking.

Top Picks for Investing Offshore

Investing offshore can be a savvy move for a range of individuals, and it is definitely increasing in popularity as word gets out about its many benefits. However, it is important to understand that offshore can mean a whole host of potential destinations, so choosing the right spot can make a financial difference. In addition, potential investors need to carefully select the right financial adviser or offshore bank to facilitate their investment. If you are the right candidate for offshore investments, then you might want to settle on an investment like real estate, precious metals, an offshore trust or even an offshore life insurance policy.
