From my own experience, private Indian businesses tend to pay promptly and are very reliable, yet become hopelessly entangled in endless bureaucracy once payments become international (this is probably the Government's fault, not their own).
My solution (which isn't too practical, perhaps not even legal, yet works)- travel to India once a year and collect your fee in cash, you'll also enjoy a great trip (Bangalore Butter Dosas and mysore pauks with south Indian filter coffee, culinary heaven) ;)
- csomar 15y agoSorry, if you know that you can't pay (because of gov. restrictions) or you'll have problems doing it; why engage with an international entity?
- __alexs 15y agoBecause you like international travel, don't mind fighting through the insane Indian Visa process and love a good curry?
- cturner 15y agoSave on the visa hassle altogether and come to London :)
- bane 15y agoI think he's saying that the trips abroad more than make up for the trouble in doing the business.
- monsterix 15y ago.."private Indian businesses tend to pay promptly and are very reliable" - no sir, they're not. And this Government bashing, is only partially correct. It is not that hard to exchange money across borders like it has been described in SISO case. Seems more like an issue of the company, and its people at hand. The cost of traveling and meeting people to collect money in cash is exactly what you wouldn't want to do when working on the SME tier. That doesn't scale, rather burns.
