'Live Work Abroad' - Website Offers Tips for the Self-Employed Overseas

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 23, 2012 ) Maryport, UK -- For anyone who is self employed working abroad, it will be important for them to settle into their new environment as soon as possible.

Starting a business abroad is not always straightforward, so here are a few of the things which people may want to do early on to ensure that they are ready to start working from abroad within a few days of arriving.

Get an Internet Connection Sorted Out

This has to be the first things to do for anyone who is going to be using the internet at all in their work when setting up business abroad. For most people, the internet is how they will survive, so if it is possible, people should try to move into an apartment which has the internet set up already.

Upon arrival, it is a good idea to make sure that the connection is working, and if it is not then the landlord should be contacted to sort out any issues immediately.

Another option when doing business abroad is to invest in PAYG mobile broadband. Anyone traveling abroad will be able to find mobile broadband in most countries now, and when only a few emails need to be sent each day then it could be ideal, although this may not be suitable for heavy users. It also means that work can be taken wherever it is needed in case the worker wants to see other areas of the country.

Designate an Office Space

If traveling with a partner or family then it is important to be as strict about the working space as back at home. Whereas the worker may feel like they are on holiday, it will be important that family members respect the fact that whoever is self-employed will still be working, so this should be established from the start.

It may also be a lot hotter in the new country, so it may be a good idea to install air conditioning to be comfortable. Investing in a good desk and a chair rather than making do with what is already there is also a good idea.

Locate Nearby Resources

People may need to rely on certain resources whilst they are working out how to start a business abroad, and it is a good idea to locate these early on. Stationery shops, photocopy shops, fax machines, public telephones and the nearest internet cafÃ© are all worth locating even if they are not expecting to use them often.

Also, for anyone relying on Skype, it may be worth purchasing a phone card which will provide cheaper calls back to their home country in case they cannot use Skype for any reason.

Get into a Routine

There can be so much going on when anyone first arrives abroad that it can be difficult to get into a routine. However, the sooner it is done the better. It is worth setting aside some time to go exploring and see all the sights, as well as taking a few days off work at the start. But it should be remembered that the reason for the trip is to work and the quicker the worker gets into their routine the better.

Get Comfortable in a New Office

People should set up as soon as possible when they first arrive in their new country. Once they have arranged their working space and they feel confident that they have everything they need, they will feel a lot more settled and then they can start earning money from their new country without any problems.
