Are you thinking of starting your own business in your country of origin, Tunisia?
We have put together a selection of links on starting a business in Tunisia that we, our partners and Business Ideas for Development participants have found useful.
Thorough research is essential when you are drafting a solid business plan. As well as conducting in-depth market analysis, you need to factor in the national regulatory framework. What is the tax and customs situation? Are there any currency restrictions? What administrative processes do you need to deal with? What state funding and training opportunities are there? Information on all these issues can be found on the websites of government ministries, chambers of commerce and other relevant organisations.
Good networks help to establish important contacts and make it easier to break into new markets. Talking over your experiences with others can generate useful ideas and help to minimise risks when starting a business.
Starting a business is ultimately dependent on financing. In Tunisia, there are many private financial institutions and various public banks that specialise in financing for small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, a number of investment companies also provide targeted support for innovative start-ups.
