Running Your Own Business in the Sun

Running your own business in the sun is an idea countless people dream about. Early or semi-retirement appeals to all of us but how can we achieve this and increase our quality of life? For many the answer lies in opening a bar or restaurant in a location that offers better all year weather, easy access to simple pleasures like beaches and the sea, easy going clients and easier going work hours. Small independant eateries are particularly popular start ups as they offer lower running costs and a balance between quality lifestyle and the need to earn a profit. There are two most common options for most to explore , either buying an existing business with licences and clients in place or to negotiate new rental contracts and apply for the required licences. In both cases there exists a variety of documentation to examine to ensure a clean transfer to achieved. When setting up a business abroad it pays to speak to those who work there already and take advice from your estate agent as to the suitability of the project. Goldacre Estates has a number of local businesses for 'trespasso' as well as freehold sale and are always on hand to explain in depth the processes and requirements you will need to run your business as well as all aspects of living and working in the Canary Islands. Pictured above is one example of a small eatery with 32 covers located right next to the beach in the town centre close to touristic hotels - always a good source of clients. The location is idyllic and a quick break from serving customers will have you wondering whether to stroll along the beach or take a dip in the sea!
