Not saying that a foreigner should be trusted any more than a local just, wondering why you would trust one less???

Sorry if this is not the topic!!
Almost 10 years living in Bali, talking ONLY from my own experience, cheat once by an American woman and many times by local people.....
Sometimes I feel like to trust someone here is like play lottery........you never know....
I tend to trust more foreigners probably because I am a foreigner and "I know" more foreigner mentality and culture, I hope you know what I mean!
Been almost 10 years here balinese are always a surprise for me........
Have a good day!!

Hi,
Thanks for feedback and replies.
Just something I need to explain, it's a franchise kind of business. (linked with a website business) But the one in Bali is important as it will be a flagship store.
I can't go more than once a month as I don't have only Bali to take care of.

And Dyah, about mistrusting local people, it's mainly because of the threads on this forum and others, so many stories... It's good to get advice from people on the spot.
I don't want to open a business in Bali because I love Bali but because Bali is important to my business. That makes a great difference !!!
Cheers

Franchises usually have systems in place to handle all of the money, stock etc, so perhaps it will easier to control remotely. You just need to employ a manager with good retail experience.

That's the idea, but from what I understand, it needs to be an Indonesian company anyway... I apparently can't own and run a business as a remote company.

Best to contact a lawyer here. The first post sounded like you want to open a small shop here. There could well be different costs/laws with a foreign franchise opening in Indonesia. I don't expect it to be easy, depending on the business. Have you noticed that only Circle K and Indomaret are the only convenience stores here?

I would suggest taking a look at this website:
