In recent years Belize has grown tremendously as a source of foreign investment. The International Bridge of Friendship connects Belize to its NAFTA neighbor, Mexico, facilitating the transportation of goods from this small Central American country to the rest of the world.

Belize, once a British colony, gained its independence in 1981. Still, its political, legal, economic and educational systems are all based on British models, and are therefore more familiar to investors from the U.S., U.K., and Canada. English is the official language and 90% of the workforce is literate, making Belize a powerful tool for production and development.

Ideally located just south of Mexico, Belize also serves as a gateway of sorts from the Caribbean into Latin America. Geographically and economically, Belize is in a prime position to take off as one the fastest growing developing countries.
