How to open the business in the USA, Canada and
Australia, "Profile" has told in N37 for 1998 and in N1 for
Current year. This time it will be a question of the business organisation in
New Zealand and the republic of South Africa.
Travel to these countries is capable to bring the sincere
Pacification and good money.
Well and fruit.
New Zealanders name themselves "kivi" - in honour of exotic
Fruit and the timid New Zealand bird conducting exclusively
Night way of life. Both that and another for the first time has shown to Europeans
The captain of the British royal fleet James Cook. Cook has opened
Australia and New Zealand also would not stop on reached,
If it was eaten by natives.
Englishmen have contemptiously nicknamed new Zealanders inhabitants
"Pork islands". Probably, British have forgotten partially, that pigs, sheep
And other pets have brought on islands in Tasman sea
They. (In New Zealand in general there are no wild animals and
Poisonous insects. Birds there live in woods only, gluttonous
Rabbits and small rodents.) today this dwarfish
The agricultural country, on the area equal British
To islands, - the world's largest the exporter of milk, meat and dairy
Production.
Farming traditionally most profitable kind of the small
Businesses in New Zealand. But, unfortunately, to emigrants
In farmers the way is closed. In agriculture are engaged only
Aboriginals of the country. It does not mean at all, that to you will not resolve
To plant sheep or dairy cows. But you never can sell
Production in New Zealand (even if it will be most
Ecologically pure in the world). Factories on milk and meat processing
Will prefer to buy raw materials from radical new Zealanders.
According to Oleg Stepanenko, the director of company Students
International World-Wide (the firm renders consulting services
Wishing to open the business in New Zealand and Australia), in New
Zealand has not enough large-scale enterprises, 80 % of all local enterprises
- The small.
Oleg Stepanenko: "Here it is possible to untwist business from zero, having
The minimum starting capital. Those kinds are especially welcomed
Business which advertise New Zealand all over the world: tourism,
Publishing, manufacture and export ecologically pure,
Dietary, low-calorie foodstuff, creation and
Development of new packing technologies etc.
New Zealand will by all means present citizenship to the one who
Will invent any improving complex. For example,
Today there system "п п?п я п я п я " - sports is very popular
Trainings which allow to pump up muscles and to grow thin at
The help of exercises with flexible cords. The inventor - ours
The former compatriot, the doctor of medical sciences. To it has presented
Citizenship personally the prime minister of New Zealand ".
Russian, which only in Oakland, the largest
The New Zealand city, lives about 3,6 thousand persons, as
Rule, inexpensive small restaurants, a bistro, shops contain
variп ty stores (trading in any trifle: the grocery goods,
Bread, milk, perfumery), own firms on gathering of dust,
Repair trucks.
The car, violin and a dog.
At each New Zealand family - on two-three cars, and all
Owners of motor transport of times in half a year are obliged to pass checkup.
That is why in local repair trucks always briskly. The former inhabitant
Tyumen Vladimir F.
(Asked not to mention its full name in a press) has got
Ones and a half one year ago car repair shop Workshop in the centre
Oakland.
Vladimir F: "I am engaged in service and repair of the ready
Cars. In the neighbourhood with my station huge shopping-centre
Caint Lune. That is rather convenient. Clients leave the car in
Workshop also go to shop.
I have bought ready business - it already existed thirteen years.
The old owner, the radical new Zealander, has got tired of a big city,
All has sold and has left to plant in a province sheep and to grow up
Fruit. From it there were constant clients, good
The equipment, three lifts (it is simultaneously possible to repair 10
Cars), spare parts, computers, office furniture. That is why the were
The owner has requested for a repair truck expensively enough - 200 thousand
The New Zealand dollars, or $100 thousand (about third of cost
We have paid for so-called good-well - reputation and trading
The stamp).
In workshop territory - a hangar the area of 600 sq. metres, in
Him a premise for service of cars, office for clients,
Small warehouses, lunch-room for workers, per capita, a laundry.
The sale price included also cost of three cars -
One vena, legkovushki and courtesy-car ("the politeness car").
avto we involve with it clients: if the customer leaves the car
In repair for long term, we give it in using ours
courtesy-car.
The part of money has gone on updating of some kinds of the equipment.
Have bought new svarochnyj the device (for microwelding), have replaced
"The politeness car". 8 thousand New Zealand dollars ($4
Thousand) have paid to lawyers for registration of a purchase deed and
Re-registration of documents.
Olga Kazanskaja: have quickly paid back expenses?
Century F: In a year after business acquisition. In New Zealand
It is authorised to paint almost all incomes on wages.
The local tax system is rather liberal. We pay in the VAT
(Approximately 11 %) and surtax (20 % on the income to 38 thousand
The New Zealand dollars a year, or $19 thousand, 33 % - if the income
Over 38 thousand). In New Zealand it is accepted to pay taxes: here
Clean hands are appreciated.
Island K: What income brings your business?
Century F: At first about expenses. A turn of the company of 800 thousand
The New Zealand dollars a year ($400 thousand).
30 % of a turn go on wages. At us perfect
Mechanics with an eighteen-year operational experience, I pay in it not less
16 New Zealand dollars at an o'clock ($8). Wages of the owner
Business, and also "ekkauntera" (something an average between the auditor and
The bookkeeper) - 2-3 thousand New Zealand dollars a week
($1000-1500). Average wages
Unskilled workers-new Zealanders - 500 local dollars a week
($250).
Rent for a premise - 4 thousand New Zealand
Dollars a month ($2 thousand). The building insurance (these are obligatory
Expenses) - 7-8 thousand New Zealand dollars a year ($3,5-4
Thousand). The tax to the earth - 4,5 thousand a year (about $2,3 thousand).
Among municipal expenses: a payment for water - 1,5 thousand
The New Zealand dollars ($750) year, the electric power - 3 thousand
The New Zealand dollars a year ($1,5 thousand), telephone
Negotiations, by the way, very expensive (3 thousand New Zealand
Dollars a year, or $1,5 thousand).
In 10-12 thousand New Zealand dollars ($5-6 thousand) a year
We spend for advertising. New Zealanders very much like bowling, therefore more often
In total it is left our fair brochures in bowling-clubs.
New Zealand - very cheap country, in shops is a lot of
Inexpensive meat, fruit, vegetables. A family from three persons of an average
Prosperity spends for a food about 50 New Zealand dollars in
Month ($25).
My net profit - about 150 thousand New Zealand dollars in
Year ($75 thousand).
Island K: How competitive struggle looks?
Century F: For example, discounts to constant clients are given only by ours
Workshop. At new Zealanders of the discount are not accepted absolutely not.
Local residents, especially representatives of a perfect half
Mankind, - terrible slovens as regards cars. We
Free of charge we clean salons, we process from the perfume special
Structure we will spray wheels that shone as fires on
Christmas ylke. Some come to us to make
Off-schedule checkup only that it "have licked" salon.
Island K: whether There are problems with workers?
Century F: "Kivi" very lazy - it is necessary to adjust them constantly. But
It is necessary to remember always: in New Zealand more often the rights
The worker, instead of the owner. Since 1894 the Law on protection here operates
The rights of workers, which in most cases on the party of the hired
Workers. Try look at the worker gloomy or shout - that
Will immediately bring an action. At the best you will get off the penalty -
10 thousand New Zealand dollars ($5 thousand). In the worst to you threatens
Prison of month on three. However, here prisons are much cosier, than
Numbers in some sanatoria of my native Tyumen.
Island K: Than be engaged at leisure?
Century F: Here magnificent fishing. Water in the rivers pure, almost
The spring. The trout, the eel, which (fish reminds a crucian) are found.
And here rabbits deliver to new Zealanders many troubles,
Quite often eating all crop. But the most important scourge of the country -
Opossums. These harmless in appearance rodents destroy woods, chewing
Trees and exhausting from them juice. So the basic entertainment
New Zealanders at all bowling and not a golf. And hunting for rabbits and
Opossums. Weekly here arrange competitions - who
More will shoot these animals. Among prizes including
Cars.
In general, New Zealand became my second native land. Once I
Has arrived here as the tourist and has got on hill One Tree Hill. From it
Tops I have looked at Oakland: below there were fourteen volcanoes,
Tasman sea on the one hand and Pacific ocean - with another. Below
Lambs were peacefully grazed. During that moment I have thought, that I stand at top
The world. Also has not wanted to leave.

Lawyers for 4,5-5 thousand New Zealand dollars ($2,25-2,5

All world. As she said, the republic of South Africa has made on
It strong impression, and it remained here for ever.

"I am fascinated by Southern Africa. By UNESCO estimations, in Johannesburg
The best in the world a climate - soft and dry. The city is at height
Approximately 1200 metres above sea level. Here never happens
Hot. In the winter in mountains snow drops out.
But most of all I like the republic of South Africa for a tax climate. Here are created
All conditions that people grew rich and developed the
Business. For example, small enterprises at all do not pay the tax on
Profit. Businessmen declare in the tax declaration, that
Put the received profit in development of the business. In it
Case the legislation releases them from the tax.

To employ at least four local workers with the salary not more low
500 randov in a month ($100). The authorities are especially favourable to those
To emigrants who give workplaces to the black. But, under the truth
Speaking, aboriginals of the republic of South Africa, as a rule, useless workers.
They approach for the subsidiary job which are not demanding the special
Education and intelligence.
In $40 thousand we have enclosed the starting capital in purchase
Computers, office equipments, the publication of brochures about our company and
Advertising. Rented office the area of 30 sq. metres in the prestigious
Area of Johannesburg - Vendivude. It is very important to have office in
