Starting up a business in Sri Lanka

Hi Kevin Cruz, welcome on Expat-blog!

Can you please give us some advices / information (here, on the forum) on how to start a business in Sri Lanka? This will definitely help other members who want to move to Sri Lanka and to start a business.

I suggest you also to write some articles in the participative Life in Sri Lanka guide.

Thank you very much for your help.
Christine

Hi All

We are planning to move to Sri Lanka shortly and would like to set up a small buisness that will help generate local jobs & provide training of various sorts.

Likely areas are construction, textiles, guest house, outdoor adventure / sports

Any advice on getting this started is most welcome.

My profile is on LinkedIn(Peter Nowson)for more info abut me.

Thanks in advance

Hello kevin,

Glad that you have set up in srilanka.  So what type of company is it?  Im in London and looking for something to do myself once we sell our home.  Just a bit nervous and not sure what type of business to get involved in.
