Immigration consultant's notes. Startup or Franchise?
Over the past year, we have had not a few meetings with young businessmen who were planning to move to one of the EU countries. Almost all the conversations began with the fact that each of them has a startup project, which, due to its novelty and prospects, can certainly interest foreign experts and investors.

There are fewer risks, and most importantly, less effort.
Almost everything along the way is doable. Franchise, so franchise. But what about a startup? Yes, it’s not so important, let him wait for better times.
How to move to the USA, Australia, Canada and other countries with the help of startup projects, we have already told on the pages of our website and will continue this tradition.
Similar publications will soon appear for persons acquiring Franchise.
