For such freelancers, comfort and living standards are equally important.

IT-technologies and programming, the sphere of entertainment, and finally environmental projects are very popular. It will take one and a half weeks to register a company in Hong Kong.

USA

Last year, the income of freelancers operating in America increased by 78%. The most popular were legal services, IT-technologies, design, marketing and sales. A company for freelancers in the states will cost its creator a great deal, but the profit, with almost 100% probability, will justify all costs. Conditions of registration of the company in America may vary depending on the chosen state, but problems with language, infrastructure, speed and availability of any kind of Internet will not arise there. The tax system eliminates the "double" payment of taxes and is quite loyal to individual entrepreneurs.

UAE

In the United Arab Emirates, a freelancer is considered a one-person company. A license will, in any case, be required to carry out legal activities in that country and the procedure will take one and a half weeks. A foreign citizen can obtain a license in the Free Zone (FZ). Owners of companies in the UAE, according to the laws, may not pay taxes legally for 50 years. The most popular fields in this country are IT (programming, web-design) and entertainment (actors, animators).
