Who is it for

Designed for smaller international companies (1-20 employees) and smaller prime contractors operating in Guyana. The focus of this package is to help companies to manage cost-effective operations and to meet the basic Local Content regulatory compliance. This package focuses on day-to-day operations supported by the use of the Centre Hub and vendor engagement sessions. This package also includes marketing and sponsorship acknowledgements through the Centre’s well-curated marketing avenues.

Centre Hub Access

 The Centre’s Hub is Guyana’s premier business directory. It includes a register of over 7,000 plus companies (2/3 of which are Guyanese) and provides information on company details, ownership details, managements systems, membership to associations, tax/legal registration, product and services, certifications, experience and referrals and additional documents.
