Hi there!

I'm looking to start up a small business in Sri Lanka and wondering how difficult it is and costs etc.

I'm currently based in the UAE but I am from the Netherlands!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

The costs, as well as the rules and regulations, depend on the type of business you would like to start. My recommendation is to go for a loan as you'll always be on the safe side. Visit the website of Seylan Bank. They have various loan options that'll certainly help you.

You can have a srilankan as your business partner and can get up to 40% of the shares. If you are willing to do so please feel free to contact me asap.
