Investment possibilities

If you have business skills, you may choose to embody the entrepreneurial spirit of North America and run your own business. There are several ways that the small investor can profit by being British. Pubs, teashops, and fish and chip shops are novelties over there, and unknown still in many towns. The bed and breakfast inns have succeeded well, and import shops are an old favourite. Merely possessing a British accent can help enough to get you interviews with the people you need to see.

Self-employment is a big jump from working for someone else, and to attempt this at the same time as switching countries may prove too much. If you are prepared to run a business, there are four routes. You can buy up an existing concern (e.g. invest in a bar, and turn it into a pub), set up a branch office (especially useful for a trading firm), go into a joint venture (but you have to find a trustworthy local partner), or start from scratch. Whichever you choose, good luck with your investment!
