Common questions

What does Trade and Till cover?

Small business in Latin America from the owner-operator's side, keyed to the rule in their country that governs the next step. Starting up, Money, Running it and Growing follow the sequence, and Business types covers the specific trades.

Is this advice for my business?

No. The site reports what has been published about registration, tax, credit and employment rules, and the rules differ by country and change often. Before you act, check the current wording with the relevant authority or an accountant.

Where is the information from?

From named publications, government and tax authority announcements and industry bodies, summarised with the source credited and linked in each piece. Where a rule is reported, the piece names the country it applies to and who reported it.

Who actually wrote what I am reading?

They are written with automated assistance from the source material and carry no individual byline. The publication behind the piece is credited instead of an author, as Sources and methods describes.

Do you sell software, loans or services?

No. Nothing is sold here and no provider is recommended, and there are no affiliate links to banks, payment firms or software. The site is independent of every company it reports on.

How can I follow new pieces?

Through the RSS feed at /feed.xml, which lists everything as it publishes. Any feed reader will take it, and there is nothing to sign up for.
