Starting a New Business

well, with a firm date in mind, you should have done your market studies and all that. So basically you are just looking for goods now? I do import items from Guangzhou, but I do mainly gift items.

Hi mystech, thanks for your advise. So, do you travel to import or place order for shipment?

Mystech · 15-09-2011, 11:25 AM

both ways. When working with the people in china, if you want the newest stuff, you have to make a trip there. only once you have established a relationship, you can cut down on the trips. They will send photos of what they have. Ultimately, if you order off the web, well, others can do it too.

thats what i been thinking too. Thanks for your advise! so do you have any shops here? can i drop by and take a look on your products?

well, yes, I do have a shop, but its not retail, i'm afraid. Its more distributor and we mainly personalise.

Steve, If you do not have any background in business, any such forums or talks will be helpful to you. As sbit has said, no1 can tell you step by step what to do. What can be done is someone telling you roughly what to watch out for and which way to proceed. With that said, I have never attended any such talks and am unsure if it is of any benefit to you.

Meinteel. what are you looking for?

起业难，守业跟难。 hope i use the correct chinese character
