A small island sat in the north Caribbean Sea, Puerto Rico is an “unincorporated territory” of the United States, with little by way of natural resources that would be of any economic value. Its manufacturing industry is largely US-owned companies, specialising in pharmaceuticals, electronics, textiles, petrochemicals, processed foods, clothing and textiles, and its economy relies mainly on federal aid from the US government.

Puerto Rico’s trade and commerce continues to be subject to US congressional authority. Most of its imports are to the US, with small amounts going to the Netherlands, Dominican Republic and the UK – so there is a business opportunity there for UK companies.

If you think your company could do business in the Caribbean, you’ll need a cost-effective and reliable international teleconference provider to help you keep in touch with clients from your UK base – here’s how to set up a conference call between UK and Puerto Rico in just a few simple steps…

If so, here’s how to arrange a conference call to Panama.

Panama has the fastest-growing economy in Latin America – experiencing an average annual growth of 8.7% over the last ten years. It also has what can be considered full employment with  just 4.5% of the population out of work.

If you’re thinking of setting up in Panama, it’s worth checking out the Gov.UK guide, and you’ll also need a low-cost, reliable international conference call provider, and that’s where ConferenceCall.co.uk comes in…
