Brexit Worries Setting Up a Business Venture

6 years ago

We're looking at setting up a business (campsite) in France ... the grand plan was that we would do it in the next 5 years. We already have a small property in France for holidays, pay local taxes and have a French Bank Account. We would be looking to sell that property to buy something bigger, quite possibly with another Uk couple, with enough land for us to set up the business. Everything had seemed to be dropping into place until the Brexit vote ... and as we start the search for the right property we are unsure what to do if we see the perfect place. Are w better to try and get set up before the exit, or are we risking losing everything. Do we put everything on hold for .... who knows how long? Can we apply for Visa commerçant now even though we currently don't need it? It seems that no one knows till a deal has been done (or not). But there must be others in a similar situation, or who were a year or two ahead of us. Any help would be hugely appreciated .... I don,t want either lose our life's dream, or our life's savings! Thanks in advance
