New companies starting-up in Libya

What advice would you have for new companies from Europe trying to start up business here and breaking into the Libyan market. What are the does and donts? What are the keys to success? All information greatly received

Don't expect to be paid.

LOL @ the cynic. They would pay you...r great grandchildren.

Naaah, just check out business media: The Report by OBG is decent (and only little lipstick-on-pig)

And it's only worth it if you find a knowledgeable and trustworthy local(s) to handle to painful bits for you. There are few Libyans on this forum who had probably sent you a kiss-up PM by this point. Do consider the option.

What's the company's business? What's attractive about the Libyan market?

Lots of people with boatloads of money wanting to buy shiny things.  Seems attractive to me.

Make sure to find a trustworthy business partner, otherwise have a business plan that recoups all your investment as fast as possible.
