What do you like about doing business in Luxembourg?
Luxembourg is politically very stable, has a well regulated financial sector, its work force is multilingual and because of the country's small size, legislation can be changed quickly according to market demands. Luxembourg is the perfect location to service expats and international investors around the world.
What do you find most frustrating about doing business Luxembourg?
Luxembourg is a very pleasant country for doing business. I have not yet encountered a frustrating experience directly linked to this country.
How does running a business in Luxembourg compare to running a business in other countries that you have lived in?
Communication lines with government agencies and the business community are very short, which is an advantage with regards to the speed of doing business. Also, the multilingual and multicultural population of Luxembourg and the surrounding areas are a huge asset to any company operating in multiple markets.
What advice would you give to entrepreneurs setting up business in Luxembourg?
Do it, you won't regret. Luxembourg has so much to offer, from a friendly business climate with a supportive government to the opportunity of building a fantastic social life with people from across the world.
