Some great advice here and visiting for a an extended period of time BEFORE making your mind up is crucial.
Starting a restaurant in any country is difficult enough, starting one in a foreign country where the laws and language are dramatically different makes it tougher and I don’t think we heard “if” biggdawgg had any previous experience in running a restaurant or not. I would respectfully suggest that if not, don’t try it here or that $100K will disappear before you can say Puravida!
Visit Costa Rica for three months, take a good look around and if you have an entrepreneurial mindset, you will see more opportunities than you can imagine and most of them will involves significantly less risk than opening a restaurant. But do it legally please.
