In its simplest terms, this business involves you owning or having a share in luxury villas in Bali and renting them out to holidaymakers, business travellers, and those wishing to live in Bali for prolonged periods.

We wish to focus on the right way to start a Bali villas business, so below we have outlined some tried and tested best practices.

Familiarise Yourself With Local Business Legislation And Regulations

Beyond studying the business models of owning and renting out Bali villas to satisfy yourself that is one you are keen to pursue, you need to be fully aware that you are going to be doing business in another country.

Many people make a living running their own business in Bali. It is imperative to get all the business licenses you need and this can be facilitated by consulting a reputable Bali based law firm in that country. In regards to a professional digital agency you might want to opt for an Australian company for advice on web design and SEO. Unfortunately, good Bali based web designers are few and far between, but with professional help you can make sure your website is the best that it can be – and get a lot of business from it.

There are many wonderful opportunities to start up a business in Bali. It is important to do your research to find out not only the best business, but to ensure it is something that you will like doing. If you are a bit of a hermit, dealing with people constantly can be very draining, so you wouldn’t want to choose an accommodation business or even running a coffee shop, unless your staff could deal with the public and you can simply run the business in the background.

Your research will soon show that you need to have businesses licenses and the proper visa to stay in the country. These must all be seen to before you get any assets for your business, otherwise you will be considered an illegal business operator and may face steep fines or imprisonment. Even getting a local person to run the business for you is illegal unless you have the proper permits.

While this can take several weeks or a few months, it is essential to wait until it is all done properly. But once everything has been properly and legally set up, you can really get into organising your business, buying stock, finding a good location and hiring employees. You’ll also need to get a house or other accommodation to live in while you run your business.

So you have long had the dream to start a new life in Bali and found to support yourself you needed to start up a business. There are many businesses models to choose from and you may have decided to export some of the unique furniture and home wares on offer in Bali to Australia. Make sure you consult a professional digital agency to get advice on web design and SEO so your website design will be the best to attract customers.

Bali-Based Businesses That Are Ripe For An Online Presence

If you are an entrepreneur participating in the current Balinese economic boom, but don’t have a website presence yet, you’re missing out. Remember that to bring money into Bali, the rest of the world needs to find out about it, and the web is the great international communicator. Here’s a few example businesses which will really benefit from having their own website:

Travel and tours: According to market studies, online purchases now outnumber all other transactions when it comes to travel spending. People planning their vacation turn to the Internet first. If you’re offering package or themed tours, you’ll need a website showcasing all you have to offer, and also some links to travel agencies and other business partners to make it easy and seamless for your potential customers to purchase your services.

Villa rentals: Hotels are already on the web, but small business and even mom and pop villa rentals need to follow suit if they want to compete. When you’re selling a villa over a hotel room, you need to post photos of your luxurious and spacious accommodations, plus ad copy to describe all the fun your guests will have.

Agricultural exports: We’re thinking more Indonesia in general and things like “coffee beans” here – heard of kopi luwak? That’s the civet coffee they make in Sumatra, and you probably heard about it first on the Internet. If there’s anything amazing, intriguing, or just plain outstanding to say about your product (come on, think of something), blog it, post it, and spread the word through online social media.

Business agencies and consultants: We don’t have to tell the web developers or marketers to head for the Internet – they were born there – but businesses like employment agencies, consulting firms, and other secondary business services also benefit from a local online presence. With Indonesia’s economic boom in full swing currently, there’s no better time that to catch some of that opportunity. Remember, sometimes the person who makes the most money from the gold mine is the guy selling the shovels.

Entertainers: Dance troupes, bands, and live performers of every variety benefit from the online marketing boost, because travelers looking for some amusements don’t really know where else to look. Especially if your thing is music, bands and performing artists swear by an online presence as the way to build their audience – one viral YouTube video can make you world-famous.

Setting up a web presence with a great website design is easier than ever in the 2000’s, since web hosting is so cheap you can practically have it free, and setup packages are made to drop in and run. After that, it’s just a matter of building your content and getting it noticed in the right places.
