Over the past ten years, Belarus has become more attractive than ever for opening its own production among both the local population and foreign investors.
Advantages of opening production in the Republic of Belarus
Firstly, Belarus is a «young» country that is in the stage of active development. The market in Belarus looks like a «blank slate», it is still being actively formed, there is little competition. Secondly, Belarus is an active member of the international community, closely cooperates with countries such as Russia, China, and is also rapidly approaching European countries. This contributes to a pleasant investment and market environment. For example, there are tariff preferences between the EAEU countries for the import and export of goods from/to Belarus. In addition to all the advantages listed above, the procedure for opening production in the Republic of Belarus is quite simple. Foreign investors have the right to establish trade organizations in Belarus with any volume of foreign investments and in any legal form provided for by the legislation of the Republic of Belarus, in the following forms: Unitary Enterprise (UE); Limited Liability Company (LLC); Additional Liability Company (ODO); Joint Stock Company (JSC): Closed Joint Stock Company (CJSC) or open joint stock company (JSC).
