Hello Everyone!

I am a single Mother of two teenage kids and am looking for advice on where would be the safest place for my family and I to settle. I am hoping to open an African restaurant and need to be in a place where International high schools are relatively easy to get to and where accomodation is less expensive than other Asian countries.

I was born in Zimbabwe and my kids and I are German citizens. We are currently based in Bali, Indonesia and are looking to relocate elsewhere. I would really appreciate advice on safety issues and what problems one might come across when setting up a business in Sri Lanka. Thank-You so much for your attention and I look forward to your replies!

Many kind regards,
Viona

Hi,
Thanks for paying attention to my motherland. Setting up an African Restaurant in Sri Lanka is a great idea. Sri Lanka is quite safe and English medium International High Schools are available with high standard.
I can help you to find cost effective accommodation and cost of living is quite less compared to other Asian countries.
Please feel free to come back to me to explore the possibilities.
Are your kids boys or girls?

Hello! Thanks so much for your reply! Much appreciated indeed! I have a girl and boy in their teens and need to be in a place where they will have a good education and where we can live fairly close to the school. Which cities can you recommend as I am quite flexible regarding location. Thanks so much again! Kind regards, Viona.

hello Viona,

Thanks for the reply. Colombo and suburbs are suitable for your biz.

Actually Sri Lanka is one of the best, easiest and most safest places to setup a business.. There are many expats living here and Colombo is developing rapidly.. At the moment I don't think there are any African restaurants so it could be a huge success amongst local diners....
I could also help you find a reasonably priced apartment or house in a safe and secure area of Colombo 05 or Colombo 07, which are the most safest and residential neighbourhoods in town
Call me on +94775875253
