You posted before about getting a visa. You should worry about that first. It is going to be very difficult for you to just "move" there without having a company willing to sponsor you.
You also posted about wages for low skilled workers.

The government of Trinidad limits the amount foreigners it allows in to work to allow more Trini's to be employed, which I agree with. So unless you have an expertise that they need and don't already have on the island, they don't want you there.

The economy is in bad shape in Trinidad, wages low, unemployment high.

The odds on you getting a visa to go to work there is slim, much less open a business.

To post more directly to your question. As a foreigner you won't open a business in TT without a Trini business partner.
