I am sure there must be many consultants for hire.


Any tips and pointers are most welcome.

Help with what? Business analysis, Market analysis, financing,
reguatory help, etc?

Pretty much all of the above. One main concern, however, would be to
get all the paperwork/permits to operate in the Dominican Republic
(*). We had someone there with the permits and he was willing to sell,
but we balked, as he was asking for $6 million, when his aircrafts are
work $1.5 at the most. We know the permits are expensive and would
save us a lot of time and money, but they are not *that* expensive.
