Food Cart Business

There are lot a food cart business in the Philippines. Some
are a hit and some are a miss. If you want to venture into this option, it would be very wise to conduct a business study first. Check what foods would be a hit in your area. Choose to franchise the products that have
already been established in name and brands in the market. However, if you franchise
a food cart, you will just be a seller of the product and not the real business
owner. So if you really want to establish yourself out there, you can create
your own food cart with your own products. If you have an old recipe from your
grandmother about the best halo halo, tacos, Chinese dumplings, and any other food recipe, then
create your own with your own twist. If your products are great, then you can
even franchise this and be a franchiser for everyone who wants to venture into
your food cart business.

Almost all Filipinos, young or old have cell phones. So to make the most out of it, you can have a cellphone loading business in
your area. You can contact major telecommunication companies in the
Philippines and be an e-loader. You can also add other products, especially if you
have a store to increase your income. Some product include SIM cards, cell
phone accessories like covers, slings and chargers, and other related goods. If you invest in this kind
of business, always be vigilant about every transaction since if you mess up and
load to another cell phone number, you cannot get the load back. It would lead to
a loss and not a gain.
Sari-Sari Store

Every corner in every area of the Philippines has a sari
sari store. This is the most typical small business for Filipinos. This requires
a small amount of capital to start up. As the word “sari- sari” entails, it means different
kinds of products to sell. So if you want to venture into a sari sari store business,
all you need to do is find a visible place to sell. This should be along a road
to be accessible to people. If you have no money to rent a place, you can even
put up your sari sari store in front of your house. Fill up your store with
snacks, condiments, candies, soft drinks and many more. Always check the things that are saleable in your neighborhood.
Laundry Shop Business

Most people, especially in the urban areas, are so busy with
their work which is why they do not have time for laundry. Take this opportunity
and have a laundry and dry clean business. To start a business like this, get a business permit and a sanitary permit. Location is an important factor in having this kind of business. It would be wise to situate your store near dormitories,
condominiums and apartments since most of their occupants are busy with studies
or work that they do not have time for laundry.
Here in the Philippines, most companies need tarpaulins,
billboards and other advertising paraphernalia or materials to market their
products. Some individuals also need these products for birthdays, weddings and
even funerals. So if you want to invest in this kind of business, you need to
buy machines and printers which are needed to make your products. It would be
best to put up your store near a school since most students need your services
for their school projects.
Small Internet Cafe and Shop Business
 |
Most households here in the Philippines don’t have personal
computers in their homes, much more the Internet. So if you want to venture into the Internet café business, it would be wise to find an Internet provider that would
suit your needs for speed. Also, having an Internet cafe for computers alone needs
a lot of capital depending on the number of units you want to purchase. Some business
owners install “PISO-NET” and leave the units in some stores. This computer is
programmed to operate on the amount of money you put in its box.
Canteen and Carinderia Business

If you are into food and love cooking, then this would be a
very good business to venture into. Find a great location where you want to put
up your business. Situate yourself near schools, offices and places with a
lot of people. You can cook Filipino staple food and surely, if your food tastes great and it is cheaper, then people will flock your business. But the risk in
putting this kind of business is great other than the fact that you have to make sure you have all the requirements
from the government like business permits and most especially sanitary permits.
Web Design and Development Business

This is one of the fastest rising business of today. If you have
the skill and the knowledge to perform web designing, then you can start your own in
the comfort of your own home. Many foreign businesses outsource their web
designing needs now in the Philippines. They pay a huge amount of money if you
deliver a great product. Unlike other businesses, you won't need a big capital to
start this business. You just need a computer, a web hosting site as well as an Internet service provider. At first, you will work alone, but if you receive numerous job offers in
the future, you can create and hire your own team of web designers.
Blogging
Blogging is now one
of the popular business opportunities that we have today in the Philippines. Actually,
most blogs are just a web page wherein you write and share your own experience
or basically all you want to share with people. If your blog became famous, advertisers
would soon pay you for their names or products to be advertised in your blog. It would
be like a virtual advertisement and billboard since most people nowadays
use social networking sites or the Internet as part of their daily life.
Photography or Photo Studio Business
