Bulgaria is a rapidly developing country with a stable economy. Thanks to the state's investment policy, transparent legislative system, and European standard of living, many people from former Soviet countries are interested in opening businesses there. This article analyzes the Bulgarian market and what it takes to develop a project there.

 

 

 

General information about country

 

Bulgaria is an industrial-agrarian country whose economy experienced turbulence after the weakening of relations with the post-Soviet space in the 1990s.

Nowadays, Bulgaria is a member of the European single market, developing partnership relations with Middle Eastern countries and the North African market. Market reforms have stabilized the economy, revived industry, and attracted a flow of foreign investments.

The national currency is stable, the pace of economic growth is above average for the EU, and the national debt, on the contrary, is below average.

 

The tax system in this country is one of the most loyal in the EU. Authorities provide benefits or even exempt from taxes under certain conditions. They also provide favorable loans for opening businesses that are beneficial to the state's economy.

Moreover, Bulgaria attracts entrepreneurs by allowing even tourists to open businesses there. Additionally, it is possible to obtain a business visa, residence permit, citizenship, and purchase real estate or land in Bulgaria.

 

 

Features of local consumer behavior
 

Bulgarians are generally kind, friendly to strangers, and possess a good sense of self-irony. Connections play a significant role in the life of locals since often, business and problems are solved thanks to acquaintances.

 

It's worth noting that people in Bulgaria eagerly learn foreign languages since they understand that language proficiency opens up not only more job opportunities but also the chance to find work abroad.

The consumer potential of the Bulgarian market is quite high, noticeable at first glance. Citizens do not shy away from consumer loans. A favorite weekend pastime for locals is going to the mall and shopping center. In addition, barter deals are commonplace in this country (for example, a person can easily exchange a plot of land or real estate for a car).

 

Legality of network marketing in Bulgaria

 

Bulgaria is one of the countries that have achieved great success in network marketing. The work of partner companies is regulated by numerous business associations, including the American Chamber of Commerce in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Industrial Association, and others.
