Panama Opportunities

Disclosure

This blog is devoted to business opportunities in Panama. People frequently write me looking for or offering job opportunities, investments, land or partners. I will post opportunities sent to me and anyone interested can respond in the comment field or directly to the email address on the post.  All posts will be screened only to verify that they are applicable to the subject of Panama Real Estate Developments. I will not allow posting of individual homes, small farms or general legal services.

I will not be acting as a middleman or broker in any deals unless disclosed on the post. I am providing this site as a service to my readers. I take no responsibility for the accuracy or validity of any offerings. I advise everyone to do their own due diligence and abide by the old Latin saying, Caveat Emptor.

Large Wood shop in Boquete for sale or rent

If you are looking for a small business in Panama this may be just right for you. This is our wood shop that we use to build all of the beautiful doors and cabinets here in Valle Escondido. For 7 years we have kept this operation humming, building for our needs in our project. As we are nearing the end of our build process we will no longer need the wood shop. There is great demand locally for woodwork here in Boquete as we get calls almost daily asking if we can build kitchens, bathrooms and doors for the many homes under construction in the area.  Why don't we shift to this market? Because we do not have the management capacity to handle it and I have no desire to watch over another business. When we built for ourselves we did not have to quote and monitor the details of each job. This kind of business requires a hands-on owner who watches the business like a baby. If he did this he could be very successful. If we had charged for the work in our project the volume produced was well over $700k a year.

Not only do we have a fantastic location on the main road leading into Boquete, but it is one of the largest buildings in the area at over 6000 square feet. The front of the building is a finished showroom and there is a metal working shop on the back where we made all of our lamps and railings. All of the equipment is heavy duty European made and will last for decades of heavy use.

The 12 craftsmen who have been working there for years could be hired if you desired.

New construction is going on both sides of the building. An office building and a new Super 99 grocery store.

I will be happy to provide information to anyone who writes me inquiring about price and the general business climate.

Go here to see a photo album of the building and equipment.
