If the past 2 years were dominated by the effects of the recession and subsequent collapse of the world markets, 2010 looks to be a bit different – at least for the City of Cambridge.

New businesses in the city have opened up in the last few months of 2009, and they look to do even better as we enter the New Year. Here’s a short list of these Cambridge business and their descriptions.

Bridging Oceans Imports

Owned by Alison Sandaj, this business opened in October of last year. They specialize in Asian and African home décor and antiques. Sandaj herself purchased items like rugs, bamboo chairs, wood works, pots, paintings, and other exotic pieces from artists based overseas.

Cambridge Investigation Services (CIS)

A private investigation company founded by Glen Ireland in November of 2009, C.I.S. lends assistance to clients by doing legal, insurance, and other types of investigative work. They also offer domestic assistance as well as surveillance services. Each private investigator is duly licensed by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, assuring that your confidential information is handled correctly and kept safe.

These are just two of the businesses worth checking out in the City of Cambridge.
