BACK COVER

Many companies in the European Community envisage setting up in an ACP country (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific). However, the success of such a venture depends on a thorough knowledge of all the local factors and, therefore, detailed, methodical and pragmatic preparation of the dossier. Insufficient awareness of local regulations and practices in the legal, fiscal and customs fields or with regard to foreign exchange controls, employment, communications or insurance, can lead to some serious disappointment. This guide, presented in the form of highly detailed check lists, will enable interested entrepreneurs to identify and avoid the different obstacles that can jeopardise their plans to set up abroad. It also provides a framework to analyse the comparative advantages of target countries, an important operation that is far too often neglected.
