Hi MuhamadSattar,

I invite you to read an article on the Expat guide : Setting up a business in Cambodia.
You will have more information on the formalities to open up a business and more.

Best of luck.

Hello.

As PP is full of restaurants you will need to offer something different than the usual fried rice, pizza, seafood, Indian, noodle restaurants to make a living.

There are many questions you have to answer yourself, like what do you want. Useful is the old marketing tool of 5 P's:

Product
Place
Price
Packaging
Promotion

In addition this is a link to a good website about opening a small restaurant:

Good luck!
