How GAP Investments helps
We walk lenders through the SUGEF registration process: what it involves, what to gather, and how it fits with lending on property-backed loans through GAP. Then we connect you with independent Costa Rican attorneys and compliance professionals who prepare and file the registration. GAP does not file registrations on a lender’s behalf; the application is yours to sign. Lenders of any nationality are welcome, and Costa Rican residency is not required.
