Conclusions

In order to benefit from the best perspective over Iran's environment, it is recommended to conduct a market analysis from a specialized company. It is recommended to address this matter to an Iranian company that would be suitable for conducting such an analysis without having to deal with cultural barriers.

As mentioned above, it is not recommended to open a business in Iran, given the unstable overall environment and the risk factors discussed above. As a general opinion, companies working in the technical services area might have a profitable presence in Iran. Another solution consists in exporting foodstuffs.
