Setting up an import business in Majorca

[everton1971]

Hi to all,
Me & my family are moving out to Majorca next year,and i was wandering if anyone knew of any import business in Majorca where i could for example import british foods.

Or another idea i have, but don't know who to approach
Is some kind of internet business where we could work from home,online shopping etc.We don't mind buying into an internet franchise (if there is such a thing)
Any advice and info would be very much appreciated
Mike

There are already lots of British supermarkets in Mallorca that are well established - there are even branches of Iceland.

Unless you already have very good contacts in the wholesale food market you are not going to be able to compete.

Unemployment is rocketing in the Balearics, tourism numbers are down, and people that do go are cutting back on their spending.

Can you speak Spanish? Do you understand Spanish business laws? Could you make your own business work in the UK?

Thanks for that.
