How to Start a Business in Bali - It can be difficult enough starting a successful business in your own country, let alone in a foreign country like Indonesia.  The dream of running your own guesthouse or restaurant by the beach on a tropical island like Bali, doesn't stop people wanting to give it a try.  This guide on how to start a business in Bali was written to help guide people through the ropes of setting up a company and establishing a successful business.  The book goes beyond the author's experience by including interviews with successful expat entrepreneurs who have a combined experience of over 80 years in Indonesia.  The advice is practical and to the point. While the guide focuses on Bali, the information could also be applied to other locations in Indonesia as well. 06/09/2010
