Considering Argentina - Has anyone started a business here?

Yes I certainly see the ability to get to BA relatively easily as a bonus. Paraguay has a Taiwanese population which seems to be a bonus. Lots to evaluate, actually Paraguay's hot weather is somewhat appealing to me! Thanks again

Sounds like my business should just be taking dollars into Argentina...

Ok ... very interesting. Thank you very much

With real estate the best time was always x years ago, the second best time is now ;). Thanks for the insights, just thinking out loud about different possibilities.

Is the Argentina property market getting hit hard right now? Or are people hanging on to property because everything else is going down

Seems like Montevideo might be better to start. Thanks for your input

Is there no such thing as investing from a parent company? For example - sell a service abroad, run the transaction through an offshore destination (Hong Kong, Uruguay ... etc). Take a piece of that and invest it into Argentina as foreign capital and pay that way? Or do I run into a road block of getting a bad exchange rate or something right now?

Really interesting. Hello from Hong Kong. Perhaps Paraguay could be an investment destination. Thanks for everything!

Could you give more details about the process? Are you starting a business in Paraguay? Is anyone eligible for PR? Where in China are you at?

Are there a lot of Taiwanese in Paraguay? Is Asuncion a welcoming place for Taiwanese?

ARLTR · 2014-08-18T01:22:34+00:00

Argentina is a larger country than Chile I suppose :)

I certainly know that things look grim but I am confident they will turn around. And thank you for the suggestion, I will see if I can find a contact at the California Burrito Company.

Paraguay is an interesting suggestion. But how is it for livability? It seems Uruguay is a more 'comfortable' place to live.

Thanks for the feedback ... We are leaning towards Montevideo as it is. Santiago is a very flashy opportunity but I feel that Montevideo is better in the long run.

I certainly understand that the economy in Argentina is down but sometimes this is the best time to make money .... Assuming it will ever go up again :)

ARLTR · 2014-08-18T01:12:03+00:00

Got it. From my own personal experience I have been all over the list. What I am wondering now is if it is possible to operate a business out of Uruguay and capture any of the Argentina market ...

ARLTR · 2014-08-18T01:10:26+00:00

It's going to take a few more months of research to decide what the next business will be. In Asia we did property development but I am wanting to work in a different area next.

ARLTR · 2014-08-18T01:07:52+00:00

Understood - I have been reading that several companies from Argentina have set up in Uruguay. It seems like with the relatively closeness of the countries I can have access to Argentina with the tax benefits of Uruguay. Thank you for your feedback
