I want to open a restaurant in Mexico. What do I need to do?

Question

I own a pizza parlor in the US and want to open one in Guayabitos Mexico on the Pacific coast. We have been there and would be a great place to set up shop, but I don't know what or who I need to contact. Thank you

get a green card

Answer 2

Answer 3

try to get a partner that knowa the ropes in mexico

or you will need to pay a lot of bribes

Answer 4

First, you need to go to the nearest mexican consulate and apply for an FM3 visa with a work permit, then you will need to get a local business license.  You will need to demonstrate that you can meet the financial requirements to support yourselves and set up the business.  If there are other American owned businesses in the area, it would be wise to talk to the owners if possible and learn local requirements.

Answer 5

come to Tampico, good business climate, expanding city, lots of people loving pizza, its crazy to see how crowded friday's and applebees get, and stupid not to invest, write me if you can, I work in Tampico (im in the netherlands though until the end of the year) I studied international business so I think we could come up with something.
