Transcript:

Before setting up an office in the another country , you will need to do quite a lot of research There are a number of things to consider

To start with, you want to be sure that the country has a strong economy And that means low inflation and a stable currency If the prospects for growth are good , then so much

the better

Then you need to consider other factors For example, does the location have a good

infrastructure - a modern airport , good roads and perhaps shipping facilities if you need

them ?

space? Does the government of the region offer special encouragement to foreign business

and the cost are low, then obviously these are going to be big advantages
