Singapore 2014
New Information and Cultural Insights Entrepreneurs Need to Start a Business in Singapore
About
About the Book
Singapore was set up by Britain in 1819 as a tax-free trading post. Today its exceptionally executed survival strategy is that of an internationally focused business-friendly hub. But it’s not what it appears on the surface.
If you’ve been thinking about starting a business in Singapore, the Wood Egg Singapore startup guide will be your go-to reference manual.
Each year we hire 3 researchers (at least one local and one foreigner who live in Singapore), a native English-speaking in-country writer, and an editor, to bring you insights from multiple perspectives.
Our researchers spend over 200 hours interviewing local business people, politicians, and citizens who regular foreigners would never have access to. This is 200+ hours you will save to hit the ground running. (Bonus: When you register your eBook at WoodEgg.com you get access to all of our raw research and interviews.)
In the 2014 Wood Egg Singapore startup guide you will learn:
-
How to navigate the complex, multi-faceted psyche of Singapore’s citizens. (Page 45)
-
Do this to blend in (and why you don’t necessarily need to). (Page 87)
-
Stay at one of these 4 perfect residences if you’re only staying for a short visit. (Page 108)

-

All of this along with hundreds of other insights. All told you’ll get the painstakingly researched answers to over 200 questions (over 250 pages!) about country, culture, life, and business in Singapore.
If you’re looking to do business in Singapore you won’t find a more complete, up-to-date, guide.
