Could I sell hard assets such as a business or transfer wealth out of the USA without paying capital gains or other taxes? Besides the middle east and China is there places in Europe you would recommend to live and invest or start a business? I have much to learn and would like to know how to transfer my assets, business and myself out of the USA and start over without making mistakes. reading about import/exporting but still learning to ropes, interested in the coming industrial hemp products as an example also looking at cti concrete whom are in multiple nations and trying to gather wisdom to make things happen. Could you help me? I know your busy but mentors as you say.trade shows, expat groups the best way to make the move happen and set up a business the best possible way in the right place and time.
