Establishing and operating a business in a new country an be a challenge, not just because of the different regulations but also if cultural, language and product differences are taken into account.
To help with family integration, it is common sense to use settlement services and reach out to join new clubs and interest groups. But in business, where do you go?
There is the risk of inadvertently breaking local laws and undermining business profits by making wrong assumptions and acting without proper information. Many State Governments also operate support entrepreneur programmes, although some cannot yet be accessed by migrants.
We advocate that new business owners quickly establish a network of friendly associates and paid professionals. Friends are good for providing insight and understanding, whereas professional advisers like accountants and marketing consultants help make sure that opportunities are maximised within a commercial and legal framework.
Which ever way it is done, it pays to sit down with a knowledgeable guide or consultant and map out the development of the business support network, alongside the development of the business.
State Sponsorship Services provides business support on an ‘hourly fee’ basis, allowing (future) business owners to discuss a wide range of issues, anticipate and eliminate problems, improve business performance and keep focus on meeting the requirements of obtaining permanent residency.
We can work with you to anticipate and solve problems, find suppliers to the business, attract more customers and access State Government services and subsidies.
To access this service - Melbourne only at this stage - please make contact with us.
