Know the ground: sector research
Compass publishes open research, sector by sector: agriculture, tourism, digital work, crafts and trades, health and teaching, trade, transport and energy, and education and work abroad. Each sector page sets out the market, business ideas, the step-by-step government process, the permits and offices involved, loans and support, and the courses and careers that lead there.
- What grows best where in Nepal: climate zones, province by province and district by district.
- Untapped sectors and low-cost ideas with steady income, and how to test an idea before spending savings.
- How to start a business in Nepal, from the ward office to PAN, VAT and the Social Security Fund.
