Most places that have a low cost of living and low taxes are also high on crime, bureaucracy, and corruption, and have poor infrastructure (roads, Internet access, etc.). It sounds cool to open your business in a country with low costs - right until the local mafia pays you a visit and demands 50% of your income. And you'll need a thousand permits for doing anything business-related, and everyone involved in granting you those permits will need some money under the table.
