Feb./03 Offshore Business Opportunities You May Have Overlooked - Offshore Business Opportunities - "The greatest level of diversity may only be achieved, however, through offshore. Investors in some countries may only invest in what has been approved by government commissions, or in offerings which fit one of the commission’s exceptions. While the goal of controlling investment activity was to protect investors, citizens of some countries feel that heavy regulation is stifling. Individuals are not free to invest as they please, but are limited to those investments that are approved by the government agencies. An offshore presence allows investment on a truly limitless basis, in any type of security in any market around the world." by Philip S.

Aprill/06 Opening A Business In Rome ~ One Expatriate’s Observations ~ by Sarah Yeomans - My first impression of Rome was that it was a lawless land, where you could make up the rules as you went along, as long as it didn’t attract the attention of the occasionally alert police officer or government official.

Sept./04 Opportunity in Mozambique - Opportunity in Mozambique - I stayed mostly with an Afrikaner who had staked out 20 hectares (50 acres) of beautiful beach about an hour out of town; his cost basis is basically zero. The government gave it to him because he committed to develop it for tourism; someday it's going to be worth what prime beach front just outside a city is worth anywhere else in the world. He'll fill his property with Germans and Swedes flying down to beat the European winter while taking advantage of fresh lobster and fish that cost almost nothing. And there aren't just hundreds, but thousands of miles of pristine deserted beach on this country's coast. Owning A Business In Spain - Buying A Bar ~ by Samantha Hornick - Ever wondered about buying a bar in Spain? Last year alone, a record number of ex-pats left their home towns for a new life abroad, and 75,000 of them bought properties in Spain, a figure which is expected to rise to 100,000 in 2005. There is little mystery as to why Spain has become such a popular destination for those seeking a new life. For many Spain is the perfect choice with year round sunshine and a better quality of life overall. But the biggest dilemma facing most potential émigrés is finding work abroad and the one dream most of them share is to own and run a bar in the sun. Buying your own bar is the most appealing and low cost option for those wishing to move abroad and ´do their own thing´.

To Do Business In Europe - Where
To Invest In Europe ~ by Jurgen Klemann - After living for loads of
years in New Zealand and South Africa, there is no doubt for me that I
am now more fluent in English than in German. When I do not deliberately

in British, American, South African and New Zealand English but need a
few seconds to recall the German word. Who cares? I cannot help it. July/04
