ABOUT US At Small Business Ideas
About us
I arrived as an Immigrant in the 1980s. I worked for several companies in the Trades, in Sales and Middle management positions learning as I progressed.
Just over 14 years ago I decided to follow my dream and start a small business online. Home Based seemed the way as I wanted to work from home. We imported goods from overseas and sold them in North America with some going to International customers.
We lived in the Mountains in the Pacific North West a location most people would think as not practical, however it worked great and it was a pleasure going to work every morning.
Eventually my wife joined me and handled Administration, Inventory from our Garage and Shipping. My Daughters also helped on a part time basis.
There were many advantages to owning my own business with many expenses I could deduct at tax time etc.
Just last year we had inquiries about the Business and Sold it to a Company that wanted to complement their current offerings. It was an opportunity to do something else and that’s why SBI was formed.
My wife still helps in between operating her Toy.
