Thanks for the message. I started a business in the UK in 2006, my wife started a midwifery degree inthe same year. We have long wanted tomove to Spain with our daughter and I would want to set up a sister business on the samegrounds as my current company - and allow my company in the UK to fund a start-up. We plan to move once my wife has qualified, wouldthere be an opportunity forher towork as a midwife in Spain-without being a fluent Spanish speaker?

My problem is I amstruggling todecide upon what region  to focus my attention, it will be an engineering company which repairs and manufactures white metal bearings primarily used in the power generation, utilites and chemical/oil industries. Would it make any difference where I located it?

 

cheers,Paul

Thanks Fibby, I only posted it yesterday,and I appreciate your reply. I know most people won't know about whitemetal bearings, but somebody will - and hopefully someone who uses this forum.

you are a star

My family owns an apartment in the Vega Baja, and in a couple of years we plan to sell up in the UK, sell our apartment and buy a family home in Sosta del Sol, largely because our daughter will need schooling - and we are led to believe that this area offers more options for internaltional schooling? Another possibility for an area is Alicante itself?

I have a small company in England in the engineering sector empoying only 5 people, I plan to generate a sister company in Spain and hoped that someone on here may point in in a direction so that I can begin the planning process. I plan to manufacture and repair whitemetal bearings such as my company in England does. I anticipate keeping the company in England operational, but focus most of my efforts in getting the business in Spain up and running-unless someone out there thinks I would be bvetter off selling it?

Anyone got any notions that can help me get this dream underway?

cheers
