Hi People,聽 I make motorbike parts in melbourne,聽 below broke after arsonist and chinese competition,聽
thinking to move to cambodia or malaysia for cheaper materials and labour,聽

I can get material in PP,聽 thinking of Kampot for more lower rent and country living,聽

I can't really afford to play tourist too much to check things out,聽 so any advice I can get would be much appreciated,聽

I don't get any replies from any cambodian govt. offices i contact,聽聽 can I just arrive with moulds under my arm,聽 rent a place and start working?聽聽do I have to make friends with local cops before I do anything in the area?

I'd like to be coastal,聽 should I look at places other than Kampot?聽 would I find local tradesmen there?聽 like someone painting cars in kampot?聽聽 Is the electricity reasonably regular in Kampot?聽 any guesses how the postal costs are compared with other asian countries?聽

any advice would be much appreciated,聽 regards Simon

Its easy to open a business but the best thing you can do is go there and look around before you bring anything. You may get charged import tax. I know about all this since I have a shop I am opening in PP. If you have never been there you best come and make sure you can get all the materials and supplies you need. Unless the folks on this blog have a business in PP I would not believe to many posts.

Read that link聽 I gave you and if you want some more info let me know I have lawyers, suppliers and what ever else you need

thanks!聽聽I'll read the link when I knock off ,聽 I work on sundays

pls have a look at my site聽 acbike.com.au聽 it's not complete, but you can see what I make,聽 I have a lot of orders for my products,聽 just too damn busy to fill them,聽 it would be good to have connections with someone in bike trade locally.聽 I've swapped a lot of emails with a local fiberglass supplier,聽 his products seem to have the right specs for me, and he's already importing from where I get stuff from in china

Dude you build some badass shit I like these, different from what I build I build mostly URAL, CJ750 and custom solo bikes. You should be able to build some nice bikesLet me know when you move to PP I will be returning the end of September. You should take some time and go have a look around and see what connections you can make.

oops,聽 meant to say 1500 / month rent,聽 not per week,聽 but australia really sucks unless you have 70 plus G job / year,聽 you can't afford to employ anyone because their cost of living is so high
