I've been talking to folks from Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ghana about opportunities abroad. After seeing the brotha who started his own car company and the lady who created the bamboo bicycle, I'm interested in Africa for the opportunities to actually build and support without worrying about all of the restraints here in America. Now I know you can make it in America but like Mos Def I feel that some services and goods could be of benefit to those that look like us and actually appreciate ingenuity and innovation. Are there any member here who have actually setup business in Western (or any part really) Africa? If so, have you had any trouble or are there any pros and cons? How do you deal with issues like FATCA if you are here in the states? Serious answers only please.
 
Investing in Africa? Should I up the thread where it says it will take us 200 years ...?

Lol at worrying about the restraints. I love this country.
 
IRS themselves don't seem to fully understand FATCA...i believe policy makers jumped the gun when Eduardo Severin (sp?) renounced his citizenship at Facebook's IPO to avoid heavy tax. Defer to a trustworthy CPA. Happy hunting.

ps...didn't realize this is an old thread.
 
There's a lot of opportunity to make good money in Africa, however it ain't easy. cacs and Asians of all kind are doing well in Africa as a result of group support. If you're looking at Ghana try connecting with the African American Association of Ghana.

I don't know black ppl for being attached to America, yaw built it from the ground up. But, can you really, truly love a country that would burn you alive and kill yo kids for no reason??? Can you love a country that will take yo money at every turn and discriminate at the job place, school, and housing cuz you black?
