What's happening in, around, and seen from, this Caribbean island home
Is setting up business in Jamaica hard?
No! Just put up your wares and decide on your prices. Choose your working hours and off you go! Zero to somewhere in minutes. Which country can beat that?
Oh, there’s some formal procedures to go through? Why? I just want to do my thing and make a little living? Why do I need all that?
That seems like a lot of effort for something that doesn’t need it. Anyway, I see business like this all over Jamaica, so why not me? Poor people can’t get a break!
