BUSINESS
A business, also known as
an enterprise, agency or a
firm, is an entity involved
in the provision of goods
and/or services to
consumers. Businesses are
prevalent in capitalist
economies, where most of
them are privately owned
and provide goods and
services to customers in
exchange for other goods,
services, or money.
ANTIQUES
An antique (latin: antiquus
; "old", "ancient") is an
old collectable item. It is
collected or desirable
because of its age, beauty,
rarity, condition, utility,
personal emotional
connection, and/or other
unique features. It is an
object that represents a
previous era or time period
in human society.

STORY OF THE
BUSINESS
•We are going to

interest in

INTRODUCTION
Antique collecting has a
venerable history dating
from the preservation of
valued religious objects
in antiquity. By the 16th
cent. English and
European private
collections of rarities
flourished. But it was
the 18th cent., with its
development of the art
and science of
archaeology, that
produced the impetus
for public and private
collecting in earnest.

I have seen a lot of broken
