Hi,

I want to open an online store of designer clothes and accessories in Canada.
I have worked on my project since several months (i also have a job to save some money for launching my store ), but I always have some questions about legislation, duties, etc... and i can afford to pay a lawyer to find this for me.
So, I ask you if anyone living in Canada and who know well this sort of business could help me, give me some advice , etc

I would really appreciate your help because i need to start as soon as possible but i didn't want to have problems because there are some things i didnt think about...

thanks!

Thanks a lot for all these links!!
I will have some work to do

I hope i 'm gonna find my answers, it's seems really interesting!
As you are Canadian, you could certainly answer to a basic and maybe stupid question but i want to be sure i'm gonna have no problem with my business:
i want to use my website to do online sales of designer clothes that i'm gonna purchase in overstock, surplus,etc... and i want to be sure that this sort of business is legal in Canada (i come from France so i don't really know well the country and when i call some government numbers who are here to help small companies, they don't really know about this..), so i want to be sure that i have the right to retail clothes below retail prices all the year because they come from surplus.?

As long as the clothing is not counterfeit,I don`t see a problem.
