Vlad Talambuta faced challenges obtaining government authorization and consulting services for his coffee business, but succeeded due to his reputation, experience, and persistence. His business has grown from financial losses and distributing to 8 companies to now bringing coffee culture to Moldova, distributing to 50 companies, and opening a small roastary, and he wants to use networks and legal clarity and consulting services to protect against negligent authorization issues.

Government Authorization
Government requirements and regulations are crippling and burdensome
Not enough clarity of government requirements for any of the phases of business development
timeliness for government authorization is inefficient
it makes small businesses lose a lot of money in the beginning that is really difficult to recuperate
Lack of Consulting Services
Havent found access to Moldova specific entrepreneurial consulting
Legal forms are difficult and unclear to obtain
no clear guidelines or terms with which to follow in seamlessly opening a business
Poor business to business collaboration
No flexibility in business dealings, collaboration business to business is difficult at best
no security in space rental and landlords take advantage
Built a reputation as a professional businessman through quality customer service
