USING BUSINESS & SKILLS TO MIGRATE TO AUSTRALIA

Australian Business Skills Migration Program is one of the best opportunities for business people from other countries to settle in Australia.

The Australia Business Skills Migration Program recognises that if you buy a business in Australia, you are committed to using your proven business attributes to develop the competitive business arena in Australia. Skilled migrants remain a very crucial part of Australia's thriving economy.

Contributions from successful business people, people with specific skills and qualifications and relevant work experiences make Australia a leader in the global economy. By accepting immigrants, Australia takes advantage of the opportunities to expand and grow its economy.

Through Australia's Business Skills Migration Program successful business people can purchase an existing business that has had an annual turnover of $500,000 in at least two of the previous four financial years.

There are different visa requirements depending on age; one is for those up to 45 years and others for up to 55 years of age. The Business Skills Program also provides access for the business owners’ family who will also have the right to work and study in Australia.

Australian government acknowledges how important it is to have successful business people purchase existing businesses in Australia. The benefits go beyond the investment capital; it includes the expertise, international knowledge and contacts, as well as maintaining employment within Australia. These factors are extremely beneficial for a country.
