bunnyboo Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hi, We have contacted a migration agent who suggested that, as we currently own and manage our own company (manufacturing and retailing window blinds), we should attempt to get into australia on a business visa. Has anybody else gone down this route. I am unsure of such a big move, with 2 young children, knowing how hard it is to establish a new business. My husband is 44 with over 20 years exp as a panel beater and i am a qualified primary school teacher, with very little experience. Neither of us have been employed in the above sectors for over 3 years. Any advice, comments etc. would be very welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ironmaggi Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 My friends emigrated to Brisbane last year on a business visa. He was a policeman and she a PA [who's now pregnant] They were intending to do something with computer security but ended up buying a bike shop! They're doing really well [they got other jobs to help pay bills intially] have built their own dream house with pool, have loads of capital left from selling a house in Essex.... I think, because you have 5 years to prove 2 years worth of turnover, it's fairly do-able [depending on economy and outlays] There was also that family on Get a New Life where he did the fishing business and she sold hairpieces eventually to help out.. so you don't have to stick to the original plan! Alternatively, are primary school teachers not in demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Derbys Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Ironmaggi Hi just wondering if your friends had joined pomsinoz, there experience in terms of setting up a business in Oz would be worth its weight in gold. It seems very little people on pomsinoz have gone on a business visa. I'm desperate for info. Thanks very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
