Hi UltimOpp,
If you are setting up your own manufacturing unit with an investment of $400,000.00 (50 million rupees or more) over a period of one year. I suggest registration under section 17 of BoI Law.
Please note that you cannot own a retailing company in Sri Lanka (It is restricted under the exchange control act.)
However there ways of getting around these issues. Email me on [email protected] if you have further inquiries.
Thanks and good luck!
