Never-ending Business Opportunities in Ecuador

Custom Search

Special SiteSell Promotion

Ecuador has many great business opportunities for those of you who don’t feel like full retirement.  The thing is you cannot expect them to just jump out at you.  If you are aware of what is happening around you in Ecuador, you may find an opening for a business venture.

Our only word of caution is that you seek out a good bi-lingual lawyer and don’t think that you can go it alone.  You may have great ideas, but unless you have one or more local Ecuadorians as your partners, and a good bi-lingual lawyer, you may run into quite a bit of trouble.

When you decide that Ecuador is the place for you and that you do want to start a new business venture here, please be respectful of the people and its cultures.  Remember we are but invited guests into this wonderful country.

There are many opportunities for import/export, coffee, roses, artisans products, beautiful paintings to mention just a few.  Back in 2008 we did start a small import business which we sold onto a fellow Australian importer of South American products.  It is a lot of hard work and making sure that the people you are dealing with are very trustworthy.  The best way to do this is to spend time here on the ground and do your homework.

If you are not fluent in the Spanish language you will find it difficult.  Rules and regulations, contracts etc are quite different here and can become quite time consuming.  Something that may take us a day to establish may take quite some time here.  Just be aware and patient.  Yes very very patient.

This country has a wonderful amount of different business opportunities and definitely can be a win win situation for you and the people of Ecuador.

Below is a very enterprising “One man band” that we came across in the Otavalo markets, probably not what you are thinking about but hey this guy is worth a watching.
