New here.....from NJ, living in PA.... Hopes of moving to DR within the next year or so and have lots of questions I need help with. We plan on renting at least the first year in Cabarete area (have been to Sosua area and loved it, always wanted to move to the Caribbean)... (I know from reading lots of ur posts that we should rent first and get to know the area more before proceeding to a home purchase if we decide to). Like I said, I have LOTS of questions, but I will only ask one to start off with....
What are thoughts on starting a business with a transportable food cart and/or truck with a couple different east coast (US) food ideas? Husband's dream to start food biz, but starting small and thinking of hiring at least 1 local who is fluent in spanish and english to assist with communication and food prep/assistance.
Questions also regarding:
1. Laws to register a food cart biz.
2. Taxes required
3. Pay for employee (I see talk of christmas month pay, etc....)
4. Residency requirements
5. What are location restrictions? Would he be able to move around throughout the day, go to beaches, etc...?
6. Anything I haven't mentioned?
We aren't looking to live off the profits of this biz alone but would like to make some profit obviously. Thx for the help.
