A very interesting topic indeed. Thanks Priscilla for bringing it back to the discussion floor.

For any business moving abroad, finding the right information about the foreign country business environment is the ultimate step to make before taking the plunge.

Please keep this thread alive so that we can post massive info and have great discussions with reference to:

- Is it easy to start a business in Burkina?
- How easy is it to source employees from Burkina?
- Is language barrier a big issue?
- How does the country business environment welcome foreign investment?

These are the great questions raised by you at Expat.com to start this thread. I hope we can share lively personal and authentic information on the topic of doing business in Burkina.

One good place to go before making any further step is a the Maison de l'Entreprise. This is the body that governs policies and procedures regarding business creation in the country. You can find them here: http://www.me.bf/. I don't have any experience with the Chamber of Commerce yet. I will be visiting them soon. I only know that the 2 organisations work in good intelligence.

- The first difficulty visiting this site is that there is no English version of the pages.
- Next, there is no indication as to how you can contact them
- Worse, when you chance to lay hand on their telephone numbers (I got 2 numbers), the all sound like hitting an internet dead link. No tone, no voice mail, no client service. Amazing! But no worries, no give up! Entrepreneurs love huge challenges. The solution? Ask anybody to drive you la Maison de l'Entreprise and you can have access to officers in there for a complete discussion. Very open and helpful people down there.
So don't hesitate to start there, it will make your life much easier.
