Hi Forum
Quite new in town and I have been thinking of a small business venture. I noticed you guys offer some good advice here..
Earlier in the week I was reading some of you providing advice to entrepreneurs, bringing up problems related to constantly changing legislations, import restrictions etc etc... So, I am aware, and I understand the difficulties and bureaucracy involved in starting up a business and even worse, hiring people in Argentina today.
However, my potential venture is simpler. Basically I would like to setup an classic e-commerce site where sellers meet buyers. A concept very similar to mercado libre (but with a small niche product category) where the seller pay a small fee to the site in case his product is sold. So, the site has no involvment in the contract, transaction between seller and buyer. As a seller you need to register on the site.
I was thinking to place the company that will handle the site outside the country and handle all payment transactions electronically.
What kind of legislation is applied here in Argentina. I spent some years in China recently and over there, this kind of thing was not that easy. Is there some business license needed for this in Argentina?
I would very much appreciate advice, comments, problems that you see, or where I can find more information
Thanks a lot
