Main Characteristics and the basic rules of Company registration in Samoa
Business expansion is often prerequisite for growth of the company and taking the venture abroad is what many entrepreneurs do. However, it is not mandatory that you will always have to expand business to large and well known countries. Based on your business niche and expansion plans, selecting relatively lesser known countries can actually be good. You can expand business operations to Samoa. This small island country became independent in 1962 from New Zealand. It may not seem a happening business destination but companies can seek unexplored niches here.
Before you can take venture to Samoa, it is imperative that you gather knowledge on its economy, business regulations and legal issues related to business operations. Our Samoa Company Formation package can definitely make things simpler for you regardless of your business niche. The nice thing is the govt of Samoa is willing to make things better for foreign investors and it has started adopting pro business reforms and measures.
The economy Of Samoa is growing but so far it is focused on a few sectors. The major industries thriving here are agriculture, manufacturing and service sector. If your venture falls within these segments it is fine. However, it is also a prudent idea to start a business in the country in niches that are still not explored. For example, companies offering services and products related to internet, telecommunication and IT can prosper in the country.
The main trade partner of Samoa is New Zealand and so by setting up a business here you can gradually tap the potential of your products in New Zealand. The NZSTIC set up by the Samoan Government facilitates trade activities between two countries. To learn nuances of trading activities and legal norms, our Samoa Company Formation package can be useful.
Since tourism is a big draw in Samoa, tourism related ventures have chances of tasting success here. Even those companies in hospitality sector should invest in the country. Setting up technological companies can be fruitful and you can get the first mover’s advantage here. The taxation is not much steep compared to nearby nations.
