Gift Wares: Opening A Business

Tablewares Dept: Seven years ago, the Iranian electrical engineer and businessman left the life he had established for himself in Tehran for a new and uncertain future in Toronto, where he planned on opening a business, according to The Star. I wanted to open a warehouse where I would buy imports tableware and giftware and sell them at a very good price. Stuff that you couldn t find anywhere else, he explains. The first time I owned a warehouse was in Canada. I was learning everything here, reading all the magazines, all the stuff on the Internet. I was going to seminars specially for wholesalers of tablewares and gift wares and moshen Kazemi isn t afraid to take on a challenge. There would be adjustments, to be sure. And Kazemi understood well the difficulty and precarious nature of trying to carve out a niche for himself in this large, expensive and cold Canadian city. But he had an idea, a plan, start-up capital and what he thought was enough experience to see it materialize. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
