Thread: Hiya

Well... I'm 21, from Brazil but currently I am in the United States. Me and my father came up with an idea on making money which would involve us starting a business in Brazil. Thankfully my dad saved up more then enough money for us to start up so yeah... Just wanted to get some advice from anyone who sells shoes and such?

Thanks.


(Ehmmm.... Just one problem though i'm only a legal immigrant I can only stay out of the United States for 3 months, but my dad is willing to give up his immigrant status and remain in Brazil if he becomes rich)

I can try but not now I suppose, right now whats most important is actually starting this business and opening up our first store.

The issue though with incorporating this business in the US is the amount of profit we would make would be dramatically less then in Brazil, brand named shoes in Brazil are on average between 3-4 times more expensive then in the United States; but I do want to branch out and start up other businesses in the US or Brazil whenever the opportunity appears.
