Good afternoon, expats!

I am currently in a process of moving to Europe and my main goal is to open an aesthetic medicine salon where I will be conducting procedures as well as some educational programs fro future specialists. My issue is that I am thorn between two main options: Belgium(Brussels) or Spain.

Let me explain further. In Belgium(Brussels) I have a decent base of existing clients, from what I have researched Its fairly easy to rent an apartment. What I am not sure about is how easy is it to open a business and rent a commercial property.

Spain would be the opposite as I know there are lots of expats from my county who could be my potential clients, but I don’t have an existing pool. On the other hand setting up a business and renting commercial property seems fairly easier and requires less financial investments.

(London is my third option but its for another conversation)

If anyone had an experience setting up a business in this two or any other EU countries please let me know. Any opinion is valid and welcome!
