I would stay away from restaurants period, you are basically buying yourself into slavery. AGAIN, I dont think that anybody wanting to do business in DR comes here for big profits, I believe they want a different lifestyle. In my humble opinion a great business in any country is 1- Mobile business not relying on a permanent location (high rents). 2-No long term employees 3- Mostly if not all cash business/ Paypal, secure transactions. I know of one or 2 ways to make decent coin in this country if you do it right and have a great attorney. Stay away from the hospitality industry. I with a friend will start a "lifestyle business" but my main income will not depend from that venture. It will be icing on the cake.
what you do for fun or love usually does not make you money. what is usually hard, time consuming and requires attention and smarts is where the money is at.
I will volunteer one business idea not for the faint of heart and only those who have been here for a while can do. big profits if you are careful: Hard Money Lending. if you got a great lawyer there is tons of money to be made, and if you only deal with decent people. there you have it.
2- Doing business with Haiti. same rules apply.
3- Specialty express auto/ aviation parts express. more knowledge of the industry required.
4- Custom looking, cheap (compared to Harleys) motorbikes.
5- the last idea I will keep to myself since I'm thinking about doing it.
