I am considering starting a company for an import and export apparel business. I will be able to meet the employee and capital requirements to form this company and get a work permit. However I also am interested in pursuing other business opportunities unrelated to the apparel industry.

I am wondering how restricted I would be to act as a business consultant in a wide range of industries. Would I have to list every potential business type in my company formation documents? Will the government allow that?

Also, as a consultant, will I be restricted from being employed in situations that may resemble employee/employer relationships?

Yes you would need to list potential business types in your company description in order for them to be covered legally.

If you mean would you be restricted from receiving a salary from another company, then yes but they could bill your company for consulting services on a regular basis which would negate the need for a salary paid to you directly
