Bu101 1.3 Should I register my business?

Here is the challenge of today. I got some ideas on things I want to import so what is the next step?  At first I thought to myself, ok I am going to go ahead and buy the products through my credit card but then I started thinking further and questions started popping into my head.

I was away for 8 years since I left at the age of 15 and it was the first time I had revisited where I grew up. I felt so natural at home and I had intention to stay but I ended up going back to Canada since I didn’t find a job in time before my return flight. ( Thinking back it was a pretty lame excuse)
