ok pa ba magbusines sa pinas?

**pnay_fickle_minded** · January 8th, 2006 05:15 PM

hi peeps... i think meron nang thread about this, but i want to ask u guys again, ok pa ba mag business sa pinas?

Naisip ko kasi, 3 yrs nako pabalik balik ng pinas eversince nag work ako dito sa Tokyo, but everytime i go home, panay labas ng pera, walang pumapasok. I realized na i should save na para mag business na sa pinas, para di lang for vacation purpose ang pag uwi uwi ko dyan, and at d same time, i want to help some of my relatives na jobless ngayon and/or magiging jobless in d future.

as of now, im thinking about 24 hours convenience store (mala-mercury drug), or bar and restaurant (problem ko lang mga menus), or product exporting (mag-import ako dito ng mga philippine interior displays and goods...)

what do u think? i asked my mom kaso ayaw nya magrisk ng business sa pinas dahil mahirap daw mga business dyan.. thanks in advance

You can get 7-11's standard package at 3 million. At the worst, you'll merely break even in the 5 year lease period... at the best, you'll make back that money within two years.

Depende lang naman sa business. No matter how hard life is, people still need to eat, so food industry and convenience stores still do okay naman. Best na may consultant ka when scouting out possible investments.

ministop is also open for franchise... just pick a good spot (preferably near a call center) and there you go...

depends sa business eh.

my dad once told me to sell one of our shops.established na and running.you just have to manage the paper works.wala nang waiting time to earn.

mayt iba pang mga ganito na nariring kami na binibenta ang business.you just have to scout around.

starting a business is reallllyyyy hard and frustrating lalo na dito sa pinas.yung pangapat na shop nga namin laging nalulugi.so we decided na tatlo nalang para mas madali i manage.

basta no joke ang business dito sa pinas.sounds too gasgas...but TIYAGA talaga.

convenience store. stay away from 7-11, mataas masyado franchise fee nila. di naman tinitignan ng tao yung 7-11 label, ang hinahanap e yung content. search the internet abour franchising in the philippines, may website dyan. also search mo philippine convenince store businesses. meron ako nakita dati sa philippine website 1M lang complete na, franchise, store equipment and 1st inventory. forgot the name though.

forget about giving jobs to your relatives, that is the first element for bankruptcy! kaya mo ba idemanda ang kamaganak mo in case they run away with your money? "dami naman pera ni ate pundar na lang siya ulit bago negosyo..." if you aim to go in business, be professional all the way. hire a store manager who will run your business as businesses should be ran. pag kamaganak nilagay mo dyan e di ginawa pang personal atm yang business mo. you can always help them in other ways.

*pnay_fickle_minded: bakit di mo subukang mag-ukay ukay? tutal since balik balik ka na din lang pinas, subukan mo na din kayang mag-biyahera. or yung mga surplus na tv sa japan. balita ko madaming itinatapong mga electronics dyan na gumagana pa. tama din yung pagpauwi ka naman ng japan, magbenta ka ng phil furniture dyan. e di kita ka both ways.

now, kung hindi ka masyadong magiging hands-on sa business, baka nga mas okay na mag franchise ka para may established nang system yung business. ako suhestiyon ko: smokey's hotdog stand. susubukan din sana namin ito. location ang importante e. kaya lang, good luck na makahanap ka ng magandang location sa mall. kaya hindi na namin naituloy.

if you're thinking about getting a ministop franchise...better ask former/current owners first. me nakukuha akong negative feedback about it.

ako, 3 yrs na ako naka-tunganga dito sa pinas

tipid-tipid na lang. pero, minsan palakasan lang din ng loob. malay mo, swertehin ka.

btw, madalas ka pala umuwi galing Tokyo.( kahit yung mga uso dyan na mura sa mga night market) pwede ka mag-uwi ng mga damit (RTW, girls stuff)..tapos, kuha ka na lang ng pwesto sa Tiendesitas..declare mo na lang sa customs yung mga ipapasok mo.(bahala ka na dumiskarte).para pagsinita ka sa pwesto, may ipapakita ka na binayaran mo ng taxes yung mga paninda mo..

goodluck po..

para sa akin medyo mahirap ang franchise, you wont be earning as much as you would want to, youd only earn good if the franchise name smells good and it depends on your market, for example you would want to put up a 7-11 that opens for 24 hours, mas ok create a namen of your own nalang, like 24/7 =) if you think mas convenient yung 7-11 think agen di ka din makakatulog sa gabi and tututukan mo din yan kasi youve invested quite a sum, so it would be a wiser idea to hire someone more efficient to help you than pay 7-11 royalty=)

make sure theres a big demand on your chosen location
