I think you have to go through many research, and your own personal investigation on that country yourself to determine how to start a business there. We can't simply pour in the money and say we can start a business. We must know their culture, what local people like or don't like. How to start a logo that associate with local language that won't make a fool of yourself. That is the starter.

I don't think you'll be able to establish your own business in another country without a legal permit. You should take note of the paperworks first before even planning on looking for a nice place to put up your business.

i am not sure if this is already allowed in the country. all i know is that, foreigners usually marry a local and when they get married, anything that he wants to acquire within the country are listed under his spouse's name.

Go online first of all. There are so many ways to set up a business over in a different country. You would need a working visa or it equivalent since a lot of euopean countries do not require them as much now. If you want to live the country you need to start looking into realestate and look your self first. Here in tx there are site like har.com or what not to look at house. Or if you want to live in an apartment you look at rent.com forrent.com and and other site like them. Good luck and God Bless

im reminded of an old japanese man in our country. he has to molest a baby just to be deported back to japan. i was thinking, what else he could do? no money to pay because how can he begin a business he's not even a citizen? it seems hopeless to work at a foreign land.

No any reference to you.But I`M sure that it`s a very hard process.If you want to have your own business,you must find ways to be one citizen of the country because there`s a lot of law procedure you must deal with!

Agreed. There is more hassle in this undertaking than any other.
