need your help

I am trying to open my own business (coffee shop) but the problem is I am not citizen (international students) I really do not know what to do... Anyone has an idea for me or suggestions that would help me. Thank you very much

I would go to the local chamber of commerce and ask them what provisions you need to take in order to open a small business.

I agree. I definately think you'd need professional legal advice - or business advice - rather than ask some people on a forum.

Why don't you start with a web site because it is internationl and you can move much more fast?

aditd · 28-12-2006, 07:39 PM

+ the cost are ... well i hope that you don't consider about 100$ a big cost.

If you're talking about bricks and mortar then usually we're talking about a much bigger credit risk, IMO, so if you can prove you can provide at least a significant amount of finance for running the business then my presumption would be that this would put you in a much better position - either for running the business yourself, or via a partnership.

2c, and agree your circumstances would probably benefit from a face to face meeting with a local business advice, ie Business Link.

I think you might run into a lot of trouble not being a citizen. I've moved overseas recently and saw my American credit history rendered completely meaningless. My guess is you don't have much (if any) credit history in America as an international student, which will make it extremely difficult to sign rental agreements for the building, get a business loan, etc.
