I have been teaching Mandarin for more than 7 years. I love my job.

Should I begin my own business? If yes, what should I do?

I'm not an expert but I'm sure others on here would need more information from you. Like: Are you a Chinese citizen, or a foreigner? How have you been teaching the last 7 years? Is the a demand in your area? Would it be more profitable for you to just freelance instead of opening up a location? Etc.

It's true for any small business
  * No matter where you live, I'm pretty sure there are work & business regulation. Find them and read them Smile Thins about how accounting should be done, where/how to declare your company (even if it's a one person operation). For China, sorry, do not know the details.
  * Be sure there are customers willing to pay for your services. Ideally, you already have students, and even people willing to work with you.
  * Find a place for your company. Should be easy to reach for your customers ie. not a 2 hours ride bus to nowhere, to arrive in a shitty place, in a dirty building.
  * Identify the people that would be working with you.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
