With a starting point in a project for reinforcing small scale business among immigrants in Sweden, carried out within Swedish for immigrants (sfi), the aim for this thesis is to examine the project from the view and experiences of the participants. Interviews with participants in the project have been inspired by the teoretical and methodological views of Grounded Theory. The interviews show that some participants want to start their own business, but almost as many don’t have that dream. The former group all have experience of being self-employed. They are aware of the difficulties but are nevertheless determined to proceed their dream. The latter group have no former experience and no interest in starting a business. A result of this thesis is that the swedish language as well as interaction with other people are seen as important parts of the integration process, but also for the feeling of content.
