What is the best country to start a business in?
>>955772
United Kingdom, no question. You can establish a company in a day and file abbreviated accounts up to £6m. Property rights are strong, the courts function very well, people are almost universally law abiding and honest. Also the country is a group of islands, there is a semi-captive market for goods and services.
The US is let down by the litigious nature of society, the courts are slightly more crooked, all layers of government are easier to buy off, and the internal market is very competitive.
>>955772
The one you live in and know well.
That is the only true answer.
Starting a business requires insight that you only get from familiarity and contacts, moving somewhere to start a business without huge backing is foolhardy stuff

Swissfag reporting in. Since you literally raised my flag, I just have to write.
Switzerland is a neat place to open up a business. Politically stable, solid currency, strong economy, unemployed rate <4% and corruption is close to none (apart from the clowns who run FIFA). We also have a very strong functioning welfare system. There are no homeless folks around here, since you are entitled to get welfare payments in excess of CHF(=$parity) 2'000/mth after you run out of unemployment payments. And yes, there is a public health system, and it works. Quality of life is among the best in the world.
Look it up yourself:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland
However, there is a huge donwside. Switzerland is bloody expensive. Unless you are in a high profile/high paid industry (eg Hedge Fund, Financial Services, Consulting, Engineering, Pharma etc.) you are almost certainly doomed to fail. In a place where a busdriver makes 60k/yr, a mediocre secretary up to 70/80k/yr, you pay outragous prices for EVERYTHING. Try and set up a small team. If you don't have considerable funds, your broke before you even know it.
Also, your question is way too general. It's like "what's the best car?"
A landscaper/gardener may use a pick up truck, while a soccer mum clearly needs a SUV. For an office guy it's a sedan.
So the real question is: What business do you want to start?

I'm graduating dental school this year and i plan on moving to Switzerland in 2-5 years time after acquiring some experience and learning the language (5 years german experience).
What are my chances of finding a stable job and opening my own office in the future?
Doctors in general are well off no matter which country, what can you tell about the situation in Switzerland?
>>957378
Good plan. German is essential (or French if you move to the Geneva area in the west of Switzerland).
Finding a stable job is realistic, opening up your own shop might be rather difficult in a major city. Especially if you are new here and have not build up a stable base of patients. If you move to a rural area you will easily find something suitable. People living there have no choice; seeing you will be their only option.
If you plan to take over a dental clinic from a retiring dentist, you run a high risk that most of your patients are really old as well. 2 friends of mine are dentists and acquired their shops that way. both struggled, and had to gain new clients, hence losing time and $ on client acquisition. But the grew up here, had friends and family. If you're from abroad you have a lack of relationship there.
In the last 5-10 yrs, dental centers are trending. Young dentists don't just open up their own practice, but they pool up and share expensive equipment, admin and nurses. That way they save massive $$$ and their patients are taken care of when they are sick or in holidays.
Hope I could help. Good luck.

The downside is, you have to deal with sandniggers. But you dont need to see them at all.

Invest in Halal food industry.
Moors won't eat meat and certain other foods unless it has been sacrificed or prepared in a very specific way and will obviously will pay a premium for it since they're not morally allowed to eat else.

Just Portuguese.
For $400, you can hire a translator/interpreter while you adapt, and make her make your coffee as well. And remember:

Criminals get shot, another reason to invest on Brazil!

How hard is it for foreigners in general getting qualified jobs in Switzerland? I am getting a degree in statistics(masters) and speak german as a second language, but lack in work experience. Is doing praktika common like in Germany?
>>957756
It's best if you're sent here as an expat. If your boss abroad wants you in Switzerland, you're safe.
Stepping out of the plane and try to land a job here is basically impossible. Competition is very strong (1 yr of top notch college tuition is ~3k$) and Swiss people are mostly trilingual (German, English and French or Italian) If some HR associate reads your CV and youre fluent in only 1 or 2 languages, you get rejected right away.
Internships (praktikum) are a thing here, but strongly depend on your major. And yes, they are paid. Architects and engineers get paid around 2-3/mth, while at UBS you make as much as 6k. You typically require one or two internships in order to proof job related experience to your future employer. Moreover you should have previous work experience (even shit tier jobs like retail or fast food) because it's a common thing here. If you're out of college and have never worked (intership don't count as "real" work) before, nobody is willing to train you when you're over 20.
Also keep in mind that Switzerland is REALLY FUCKING expensive. Average income is about 6k, in a big city like Zurich more like 7,5k (1$=1CHF). If you intend to casually travel here, get a flat and spend 2-3 months trying to find a job, you need deep pockets.
Since you're a stat grad, I would strongly recommend to get in touch with ETHZ (Top10 engineering uni) and try to get either an internship or a student exchange. That way you get a foot in and a peek through the backdoor.
good luck.
>>957837
I would move because my GF has gotten accepted for a PhD position at ETH. But we will not go if it is impossible for me to get a job in Switzerland. Also I have about 2 years of work experience in sales(before I started Uni) and I have worked 6 months as a statistician But yeah, that does sound very tough and confirms my suspicions. Will do some more research on this. Thank you for the elaborated answer.

We litterally have start-up support lawyers that do it for free (paid by tax-Crowns), and our company laws are pretty straightforward, and getting registered takes half an hour.
No corruption, educated workforce, stable energy service, good infrastructure.
Downside is high salaries, company tax is actually lower than the US

Australia pays our orthodontists and dentists very very well. Best in world I think.

You probably wont even get in. There would have to be a good fucking reason why exactly YOU should be allowed to work in Switzerland.

You should mention that the pension plan for people is funded by both employees as well as employers(!) - if you're self-employed you pay both parts yourself, though it's a slightly lower percentage.
All defined in the 1st and 2nd pillar of the pension system.
Not quite sure if that's the case of other, suitable business countries too, and it could mean additional expenses.
>>958737
Well you have to accept a person into a country. Would you choose:
a.) Some refugee who has a 20% of not being literate, who won't work and waste you tax money
or
b.) qualified specialist with a EU diploma who is needed in the healthcare sector?
Your answer will indicate whether you're a kek or not.

After one decade as a venture capitalist in Brazil, I can assure you that they will give you blowjobs just to show their appreciation for employing them.

Please tell more, what do you do in Huezil? Also, what are some good business opportunities there?
I'm considering moving there in a 5 year period, but the crime and corruption makes it seem worse than Venezuela or Mexico.

Also you V.C.Anon, more details please, what do you do, how did you started, your most common problems and how did you solve them?
Would you recommend Brazil for business as a foreigner?
I was born in Portugal, spent 2 years in Brazil as a teenager, then moved back, got some inheritance money, saw that Europe was not going anywhere, and returned to Brazil.
It is a great country for making money, since most of the natives are dumb, and you can often be the first to replicate models that did well - as long as you know what is happening around the world.
I started buying half of a restaurant that doubled as a club in Florianopolis, and from the start, I noticed the biggest issue: the natives are FUCKING dumb.
Their work ethic is shit, and finding skilled labour is somewhat difficult - so, I fired most of my staff, and replaced them by college students, as part-time employees. I still had a bunch of stupid workers, but it became easier to fire them, and they would often bring their friends to the place. Also, the college girls were total sluts, and my sex life was great.
I paid the bare minimum in taxes, the original owner taught me how to navigate their corrupt system, so the profit started to look good. After one year, I had a somewhat-reliable staff, which made us a hot spot. I sold my shares to the old owner brother with a 120% profit, after twenty five months, which was great, since I was also making some money working as a manager there.
The two brothers then managed to ruin the place, and it is probably good to mention that brazilians are also fucking lazy - which I used to my advantage, since the guy was happy to let me do whatever that I wanted while he spent his money with hookers. His brother was a cocaine addict, and without anyone willing to do the hard work, the place just crashed and burned.
So, TL/DR:
Pros:
1-) Cheap to invest.
2-) Easy to rise above the competition.
3-) Low taxes (if you do it right).
Cons:
1-) They are dumb.
2-) They are lazy.
3-) They will always try to trick you.

Corruption is your friend, as I said, evading taxes is a breeze. As long as you stay clear from the nasty cities (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Belém, Recife, Cuiabá, Vitória), violence won't be a problem.
Also, you should not bother investing on São Paulo or Rio, unless you got more than $1KK to invest - you will make money, but if you come from a civilized place, the toxic environment will be too much.
