- Hacienda – The department of Hacienda is Puerto Rico’s equivalent of the IRS. As a business owner, you will no doubt become intimately familiar with them and their portal as you pay your taxes.
- Departamento de Desarrollo Economico (DDEC) – The Department for Economic Development is the place to go for information on tax incentive, entrepreneurship programs, and overall information on big government initiatives to drive economic strategy.
- Caribbean Business – Caribbean Business is Puerto Rico’s main business newspaper, has been around for a while, and is a reliable source of information on Puerto Rican financials and business.
- Sin Comillas – Spanish-only, but truly the best source of information on Puerto Rican economic data, and also good coverage of Puerto Rican companies.
- News is my Business – This is a smaller and newer business-focused news publication, but you can find some interesting gems here at times that aren’t covered in the other major newspapers.
- Small Business Administration (SBA) – This is the link for the San Juan office of the SBA; an useful resource for any entrepreneur since SBA guarantees can provide attractive rates on debt from banks.
- Parallel18 – Puerto Rico’s original and today’s main startup accelerator. The program is for companies in early revenue stages and provides $40,000 of equity free financing and five months of mentorship at its Santurce headquarters.
