Import from China
Become an Entrepreneur
The bulk of my searches on the Internet brought back websites of companies trying to sell me something with vague information on starting a small business and little reliable advice on Import from China.
Import from China is a guide designed to help you become an entrepreneur. It is full
of independent information and advice on how to start a business by importing from
China.
I am a Hong Kong born, Canadian raised and educated immigrant working in the
United States as a marketing executive within the technology industry. As I grew
interested in becoming an entrepreneur by importing from China, I quickly realized
that it required a lot of time and research. What surprised me was the lack of quality
guidance on the Internet for Import from China topics.
All I really wanted was:
- Practical advice on starting an import business in the western world.
- Easy to understand information on how to connect to the China supply.
- Guidance on the Chinese culture and doing business in China.
Import From China Business was Founded with Goal of Linking the Needs of the West with the East
It is my goal to create a helpful resource that provides practical advice from real
people on Import from China. The information contained in this website comes from
the personal research and experiences of those who like to or have imported from
China. It is designed to help with every stage of planning an Import from China
Business, the satisfying and the not so satisfying steps along the way!
This website is constantly changing. I will be adding and updating information often.
Be sure to come back to get the latest on Import from China.
I would love to hear from you if you are planning or have started your Import from China Business. I am sure your experiences will be invaluable for other entrepreneurs.
Enjoy Import from China.
Happy Planning!
