Hello everyone,

As the world comes to a halt, we wanted to hear from the entrepreneurs in Mexico.
While new challenges arise from the current context, we think this is a good time to share your story, especially if you are a business owner in Mexico.
That's why we invite you to answer the following questions:

What is your industry and the size of your company located in Mexico?

How does the crisis impact you, financially, economically and personally? On the other hand, have you seen new business opportunities emerge?

Have you managed to set up a teleworking approach? If so, how was the transition?

Have you had to take difficult measures? Do you mind sharing them with us and tell us what you learnt from them?

Do you have any advice to give or practices that you have put in place that you would like to keep at the end of the crisis?

We thank you for your participation and wish you a good day :)

Stay safe,


Loïc

Hello, I am an American who spends lots of time in Mexico´s San Miguel de Allende (where we have a home and a business) and Tijuana (since we live in San Diego CA) so, in a way, I regard myself as an ex-pat in many aspects. 
I believe there are tremendous opportunities for ex-pats to do business in Mexico. Or at least, to research and plan future opportunities to do business there.
Mexican are great people, hard workers, very loyal and there are always, constantly, possibilities to develop new services (that no one has foreseen so far), new investment chances in different regions of the country.
