• The only costs that will have to be incurred is sending some one over there, or going over there themselves and hire a person, Potentially on commission. No need to pay wages. Or one of the owners could head down and just the cost of accommodation will be incurred. Which the company still have the benefit of writing of from tax. So, tax payments are reduced.
• I would recommend that the owners would head down there themselves. It looks more professional and since the product is only entering the market it would be good to see the owners on a personal level to establish a sense of trust between the parties.
