Yes, setting up a business isn't easy especially for students and immigrants, it is even harder to make it profitable. whatever type of company you want to register, like Sole proprietorships, partnerships, or corporations, you need to know the markets, the competitors in the area and yourself very well. However, it is still possible to initiate and run a successful business as long as you have essential technology and a nice business plan. I don't think initial capital is a bottle neck since you can always get loan as the government has so many programs to support small business. For example you can find all kind of information in this web link http://www.homebiz.ca/BIC/gov%20progs/govmb.html.<br /><br />By discussing the business posibility and exchanging information, a creative business idea may pop up provided we attract a large number of individuals with diverse backgrounds. that, I think, is the purpose of this forum. It can link business partners and encourage our friends to get involved in the business. |
