U.S. investors or companies planning to open a business or buy property in Suriname may want to seek the services of a lawyer and notary to assist with filings, registrations, licenses, or legal paperwork due to possible language barriers. Business owners should also take care to register trademarks with the Attorney General’s Office.  This can be done directly by the business owner. Prospective investors should check a local partner’s background and the legal status of a property before completing a business transaction. The Suriname Chamber of Commerce and Industry can provide general information, such as the names of registered company owners and business resources.
