Hi, I've been offered a few partnerships from rabbit farms & importing incontinence wear to restaurants and leather factories. I haven't taken up any of these offers. I would make an appointment to speak to an English speaking lawyer and allow him to advise you on all aspects of going into business there. You can find an up to date list on the British Embassy website. Why not email some of them asking for general information in the first place and take it from there. I wouldn't hand over any money at all until all the groundwork has been done and you are absolutely sure of what will happen. One girl I know set her bf up in buiness in PEK and has lost in the region of £50K - he was a worker but no idea about running a business and at that time PEK just didn't need another artisan shop!!! Be careful. My favourite saying for Tunisia is 'Broken hearts heal a lot quicker than empty bank accounts'. Sorry to be so cynical but I'm sure you work very hard for what you
have.
