Hi Brocky,
I have just moved to New Cal from Australia and started a new business, Luckily I have a French business partner as I would struggle big time if I didn't. Not many people speak English here so it would have its challenges. There is however huge potential for new business opportunities here as the local companies are not well supported from suppliers and have a lack resources to conduct their business
Sorry I couldn't be more help
take care Benji
