Doing Business in Haiti - Do you Trust Family, Friends or Strangers to Run your Business?

Je parle à de nombreux hommes d'affaires en Haiti et ils me disent NE JAMAIS laisser un membre de la famille pour diriger votre entreprise ...

d'autres disent qu'ils ne font confiance à personne, sauf en famille.

Que dis-tu?

I would say not to do business with family members.

That does not mean you cannot give them something; however, do not trust of leaving your enterprise behind expecting family members will make it progress.

It is not only for Haitians but that applies to almost every community.

As a white american who loves and goes back and forth to Haiti I am very angry right now, me and a friend of mine wanted to open a restaurant and jazz club in Petion-ville It was my dream for many years.

We brought a large amount of money to Haiti and gave it to a very close friend of mine who was like family to me. He owns the property.

We waited for things to get done and i found out he ran off with our money never using it for the restaurant.
