Cuba Consulting Services
If you are engaged in or would like to learn more about Cuba
related business or travel activities, we offer a customized consulting service that will address your questions
and concerns.
WE HAVE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED OUR CUBA CONSULTING SERVICES
Our report will feature relevant Cuba and/or US market
research, a summary of the challenges, risks and opportunities that exist in Cuba. Your report will also
contain the names and contact information of relevant Cuba experts relevant to your
interests so you will have the information you need to move forward with your idea or business venture coupled with
the knowledge to make good decisions.
We offer this Cuba business consulting service from our
Massachusetts based, Havana Journal Inc, office.
As owner and publisher of the Havana Journal, (the largest private Cuba website on the Internet as ranked in our Cuba Select review)
my associates, my contacts and I are fortunate to have a very broad and deep knowledge of Cuba.
In my database, I have more than 700 friends, associates, experts, lawyers, art
dealers, tour organizers, service providers, non-profit organizations and a variety of other contacts living in
Cuba, Miami, Tampa, Washington DC, many other US cities, Canada and Europe who can help me get the information you
need so you can understand the Cuba business opportunity that interests you.
Taping into my vast network of contacts, I will act as your "project manager" to
gather information and compose a customized Cuba consulting report so you will have enough "actionable
intelligence" to make good decisions that will help you to get started to do business in Cuba.
Since there are many US laws restricting travel to Cuba and business with Cuba and
since the Cuban government controls the economy of Cuba, you need the right information so you can navigate the
legal and economic landmines for your Cuba related venture.
You need more than just a friend of the family or an "Uncle in the business" or
even just a single Cuba expert or consultant... you need information compiled from a number of resources across a
variety of specialities from a number of Cuba experts.
Useful information is hard to find in Cuba and even when it is found, the facts
usually needs an explanation because nothing is easy to understand in Cuba.
Our Cuba consulting report allows our clients to see the Cuba world clearly so
they can make educated decisions and realistic business plans with the confidence to venture forward efficiently
while avoiding disastrous mistakes.

No Conflict of Interest - Confidentiality - Pricing
We charge a flat rate fee for our consulting package consisting of
phone conversations and a specialized consulting report as described above.
Since our service provides so much information along with the phone
numbers, mailing addresses and emails of relevant Cuba experts, our clients usually do not need to engage with us
for more consulting time. Our service will set you on the right path toward your goals.
No conflict of interest: Since you are paying me for this service, you can rest assured that I am 100% working in
your best interest and will never take a referral fee or payment of any kind from any of the people or businesses I
mention or recommend to you by phone or in the consulting report.
Confidentiality: I will also keep your information confidential and will not share your business ideas, name
or contact information with anyone without your approval.
Pricing: The flat fee for the complete consultation is $1000 paid this way... start up fee $250,
$250 after we start the report/phone consultation, $250 when we have finished the report and then the final $250
after you read the consulting report.
Time: I
will spend 6 to 10 hours on your customized report. So, between our phone conversations, gathering the information
you require and producing the report, you will benefit from many hours of our Cuba expertise.
It usually takes two weeks or less to give you the final
report.
