The country to which I refer is Czech Republic.On one hand,the current administration is trying to develop an enteprise economy.Conversely,with strictly applied business licensing regulations,it's almost impossible for budding entrepreneurs to try anything.In my view,business licensing should be restricted to activities such as banking and medicine.

Three Reasons:\n1) So the government can make sure that it can collect taxes from you.\n2) So the government can regulate your business.\n3) Reduce competition for established firms.

Write an email to the Czech Republic and ask about their policies. Im sure they would give you links to these or somehow provide the policies to you.

It´s a lovely idea, but doesn´t sound like anything the current US administration would go for.  After all, while hyping the immigration issue in the media and, frankly, whipping up racism, they are also quite happy to turn a blind eye to US businesses using cheap illegal labour. It´s happening in all western countries at the moment.  The media, backed by the government, incites its citizens to be worried about illegal immigration, while the economy actually benefits from the black market economy working with it. I´m in Mexico now on holiday, but staying with family.  It´s a hard place, with a bad atmosphere.  It definitely needs some help, but everyone here says the corruption is so far reaching, there is no hope.  Your idea is nice but too socialist for anyone in today´s political arena and, like Iraq, would require serious investment, commitment and integrity..... never forget it´s all about the money.

The notion that government "offers grants for everything else" is false perpetuated by those who stand to gain most - those selling CDRoms, service to "help" people win grants and other unscrupulous individuals\n\nIt is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nHere is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

in most states, you can open an account regardless of citizenship.  banks are responsible to recognize and stop laundering.  although it sucks that people can come to this county, make money off the books without paying taxes, then send it back to the country they came from, it's not illegal. money laundering is a much more complicated process where money that is attained through illegal activities such as drug dealing and gun running, is wired from acct to acct, in hopes to disguise the money as something else, usually some sort of "foundation" or something.

All countries in this day and age, in my belief, must make money to survive but of course they go far beyond that. Usually at the expense of their own citiznes. You should be aware that they can & do, do anything they can get away with.

What's "IN" right now, is health and anti-aging. It's what people are looking for.  Everyone knows people with health issues or people who are looking for preventative health measures, so this is the business to be in.\nThe one I represent has a very low start-up cost and is earning people income on their first or second month.

Becasue politicians rule the country.\nAny business if it wants to survive in this world must have good relationship with the rulers and lawmakers.\nLawmakers make laws which have impact on the businesses of these large corporations. Corporations like Microsoft that are truely global gaints can be easily effected by new legislation.

The 1999 law Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act (commonly referred to as simply the Veterans Act), was created primarily to support veteran entrepreneurship. \n\nFrom this law, the the National Veterans Business Development Corporation (NVBDC) was established, or what is commonly known as the Veterans Corporation http://www.veteranscorp.org . You may want to check them out to get a list of possible support they can provide or can help you get in starting your business.

It's annoying, but I think it is probably only a temporary refusal.  The EU is gradually becoming a true single economy which will mean common taxation in all forms.  Economic theory suggests this outcome is pretty much inevitable - NAFTA, ASEAN and the EU will become the only three global economic entities and we will get cheap booze and fags through larger scale competition and common economic policy.\n\n'Course it will be at the expense of self-government ...

This country has many laws, which don't encompass family-owned businesses, because of the unique nature of that situation.  There are international efforts by the UN, Peace Corps and Apartheid Now. You need to run a google search or be a little more specific.

I agree with you but it will not happen The pharmaceutical companies for one will not allow it also it would put most of the D.E.A.  and F.D.A.idiots out of work have you noticed that a vast majority of the   drugs that get fast tracked for approval by the F.D.A. are from companies that heavily contribute to political campaign funds of the party that is in power at the time?

Handicrafts arnt the best example, to be honest. They are a very niche market and wouldnt be worth exporting. Think about cars or machinary parts or something big and worth a lot. Then just describe why other countries might buy them, how you would compete with the existing market in those countries, if there would be a sufficient market to make the export worthwhile and so on.

Legal risks as well as the tax consequences are very big.  HR and cultural issues becomes another concern.  Marketing as well as filing requirements in the countries affected, etc...just to name a few.\n\nThere's really too little information here to give any meaningful advice.

That is where the Lezefare policy (privatised freedom) is all about.  In a controlled economy the Government inerfears to stop is the manufacturing of below standard products but in a so called free economy the Government can not interfear into this.  The customers are the better decision makers it is believed.  And we all know the customer awareness in India and the consequences of it. Although we are not in that barbarian society, we are marching towards one.  As on date, we are in betwee, the BIS standards are specified by BIS and these standards are made by expert in the field of that particular products. The products which are upto these standards have been given permission by BIS to print the words "BIS" and its registration number ISI 473 etc.  \n\nNow again it is the customer's option whether to buy a ISI or BIS products or a non-ISI or BIS product.  But do yo know, the Government influenced by these business men is re-thinking on the very existence of this BIS itself considering it as a measure to reduce  extra paper work. This will make the society and business more barbarian and uncivilised with no business ethics.\n\nI agree with you, no products without not as per the standard specified by BIS and with  BIS certificates should be allowed to float in the market.

EU countries regulate their own pharmaceutical dispensing and regulations vary widely from country to country. The best idea would be to pick a country and contact the embassy from that country. Each embassy will have a person who can easily answer that question or will be willing to find out the answer for you.

You seem to have answered your own question. There is no way to be legal easily. Avoiding taxes is a game for the rich. Complaining about unnecessarily complex rules and regulations, a game business owners and immigrants can share. If everyone followed the rules for Cubans, there would be no one here illegally.
