ok pa ba magbusines sa pinas?

[wildthing]

eto opinion ko, di ba taga-angeles ka?

1) JDM Car accessories - start small muna. Punta ka sa mga car junk shops in Japan, scout ka ng mga specialty parts na hard to find dito sa Pinas. Pedeng by-order ka lang kumuha. Tapos ipadala mo sa Pinas via "Balik-bayan box" kasi mura na, lusot pa sa mga tax kotong.
2) Racing car parts - mas mahal ng kaunti puhunan kasi brandnew ang bibilhin mo. Same pa rin by-order basis lang, meron dapat deposit from the buyer.
3) Pabalik Japan naman, ang maisuggest ko ay mga furnitures. Marami dito sa AC na manufacturer, export it to Japan. But you might need to know the "importation" rules ng Japan before going into this. Puhunan mo dito ay digital camera for your "relative" na mag-sosource out dito and then mag-eemail sa iyo to show to your clients.

Ang GENERAL rule ko sa negosyo is NOT to create needs but rather to SATISFY needs or wants. Huwag ka nang magre-invent ng gulong...watch your target market area or people and determine what do they need, then satisfy their needs.

*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.

Actually, that's not a bad idea (ukay ukay) for small income generation, but not a real big money earner.

Whether Ministop or 7-11, things can go sour if you get the wrong location. A 7-11 or Ministop near a palengke (paradoxically) usually does well, as does one near a hospital (I'm looking at getting the one across from ours). Ministop may cost less to franchise than 7-11, but then 7-11 has good staying power. The one near my wife's house in Cubao outlasted the bigger Ministop that opened up beside it (pero mismanaged at poorly positioned yata ang Ministop na yan). Contrariwise, I've seen 7-11s close down also because of poor sales.

Like I said, you'll need a professional consultant to help you scout the market at the place you want to set up... no matter what business you want to set up.

As for family, it depends. I don't want to say anything negative because I'm in a family business, but I'll tell you this: If they're family, it's harder to fire them if they are a liability. Choose which family members you want to use, and only put them there if they're qualified and competent. Otherwise, keep them out of operations and just give them dividends.

headline ng inquirer yesterday, pawnshops are doing good business because of the present condition here in the philippines.

buy entrepreneur magazine and you'll get lots of ideas and new trends

what if you're pretty good at fixing up houses...viable ba yung business dyan na bibili ka ng fixer-upper na bahay, then sell it for profit? just wondering...kasi i know a few people making a great living here doing that...plus they love what they do, which is a great bonus.

walang madaling business... and wala rin lugar na pangit magbusiness... nasa tao yan... mahirap kung sandali ka lang dito kasi kailangan mo tutukan yun business for the first few months... as in araw araw talaga...

ministop requires personal management... di sila papayag ng franchise na hindi yun may-ari mismo ang mag-manage... so medyo out na yun kasi bisita-bisita ka lang...

never ever mix personal life with your professional/business life... including relationships... mabuti na cousin mo lang yun isang tao kaysa cousin/employee... complacent sa job minsan ang mga pinoy lalo na kung alam nilang FOB (Friend/Family Of the Boss) sila... unless anak mo or magulang mo... sa family business namin, ako lang yun pasok... lahat out na... di pwede magpasok basta basta...

okay ang condo pero consider mo rin na ibinabalik ang condo after ilan decades... so study the roi...

why not import japanese luxury goods here in the philippines or baliktad?

if furnitures importing exporting gusto mo... pwede rin yun... im considering it nga rin since maganda yun...

well thanks sa mga posts nyo... serious talaga ako...

ok din sana mag franchise, pero may point sina yebo and cutedoc, supre mahal ng franchise, pinaka mababa na yata ang 1.8m for mini stop, syempre may mga rules and percentage pa dyan... magsarili na lang siguro, consignments yata yung mga goods... pero pag franchise nga, hanap ka lang ng strategic na lugar... pag sarili mo, ma-effort nga lang.

*yebo, chip

tama ka... marami magkakamag anak ang nagkakatalo bec of money. Pero syempre once i hire them, business is business, and i-oorient ko sila... try ko lang.

* glennster

anong business nyo? di ba kayo nagpapa franchise?

*hens, wildthing, smooth

naisip ko na rin magbiyehera, pero super mahal dito,walang mura dito... yung pwedi kong i-market lang dyan class A and B when it comes to clothes and accessories.. Yung mga surplus na TV rito, tyempuhan lang yung tapon tapon. and mahirap ibenta yan.. dami ng nag susurplus sa angeles city, ewan ko lang kung may bumibili.. Yung mga car accessories, malabo.. Pero pwedi kayo magpabili sa kin kung gusto nyo, kahit wala ng profit sa kin.

*nightrock

good idea ka... meron na kami condo sa Park avenue, wala nakatira, pag umuuwi lang ako. Meron bang malapit na call center sa Park Avenue?

*FXT

di ko gets...

tnx jedi and zero
