Hi, does anyone know of any institution which runs courses in starting or running a business in Taiwan, preferably with some English? Having been here for a few months, it is very clear that the business environment here is very different from every other country in which I have lived, plus of course the language barrier What I would like is an intro course which highlights the following: - Setting up a business - Common mistakes or pitfalls - Understanding basic accounting and tax requirements - Legal environment - Customs and other requirements - Anything else? Would be great if a business institution did this as I would like to attend (and in doing so will also improve my Chinese for sure!) Thanks ---

Have you seen llary’s thread on setting up a rep office in Taiwan? Here it is: [url][Llary's (almost) Complete Guide to Rep. Office Registration](http://tw.forumosa.com/t/llarys-almost-complete-guide-to-rep-office-registration/24171/1) And Loretta has some stuff in the sticky above this thread. What about your country’s chamber of commerce? Would be a good place to ask. ---
