The book is structured and organised with a discussion of the same topics for each of the above countries addressing specific questions that are very useful to any investor looking to do business in any of the countries.
The key questions that are addressed throughout the book for each country are the following:
- •
Should our business establish as a limited company, representative office or branch?
- •
What legal issues are associated with the start up of a foreign held company?
- •
What legal issues are associated with operating as a foreign held company?
- •
What is the process to obtain a work permit?
- •
What investment incentives are available to foreign investors?
- •
What legal issues are associated with foreign ownership of land?
The chapters are written by established legal practitioners in their respective jurisdictions. The details of these lawyers are included at the beginning of each country report. The chapters contain relevant practical legal advice and this may however be a little bit subjective in that the reader will have no option but to follow the advice as described. Some of the information may also be affected by changes in the national law and the reader will have to be aware of the changes that may occur afterwards. However, what is good, is the link to the web site which will have more updates on the information; and the details of the authors are provided for any potential queries that may arise. Conveniently, the book also refers to Doyle's web site for further information. Clearly, the book is useful for people who want to know how the business operates in these Asian countries. A very practical guide.
