Major Issues
When foreign investors make their first entry into Ethiopia, it is important that they give careful consideration to the following major issues:
Regulations
- Is my intended business operation allowable under the current Ethiopian investment regulations? Is my business encouraged or restricted or prohibited according to Ethiopia's foreign investment laws? Are there any special licensing requirements for my intended business activities in Ethiopia?
Business Structure
- What kind of investment structure should I use? Should it be a wholly foreign-owned enterprise or a joint venture or should I buy out an existing domestic enterprise?
Location
- Where should I establish my operations? Are there any particular local policies and incentives?
Cost
