What small business should I (foreigner) start in Philippines?
After 10 years in Thailand I’m getting pretty bored of the locals and the developments in general, thinking of moving to Philippines, I have also a nice and motivated gf there.
What could be a profitable small business to start, something with food ? Foreign food perhaps ? Low investment anyway. Too little experience to know wheat area I probably gonna live.
many thanks in advance
REALLY DEPENDING on the type of business and the money you will have to invest on it. The more money naturally the more return of investment. Remember it takes money to make money. As for me, moving out that easily in Thailand is a very…very bad idea. You already established yourself imagine at 10 years in Thailand suddenly you decided to move out and make a start in the Philippines? What made you think by moving into the Philippines scenario isn’t what will happen to you way back in Thailand? Maybe much worst than what you did in Thailand. Both of these countries have different background. Don’t think just because you got a gf in the Philippines everything would work out just fine.
For my own opinion, franchasing is for me in venturing in the food businesses esp. in the Philippines. But in this category you must possessed roughly at least Php 500,000 to start a business. Yup half a million Philippine peso. Because you will sell products that is alrelady saleable and known brand through out the Philippine history like Goldilocks and Jollibee. That is why it is very expensive. Well if a small time eatery just under the bridge or something, maybe Php 10,000 or less. But you must do all the buying/cooking and waking up in the early hours of the day at 4 am to start your day. It is a hard work. Who said personal business is not hard work?
IN THE PHILIPPINES FOOD IS NUMBER 1, because Filipinos love to shop around and after that loves to eat everything with their hearts content. Food is the best business in the Philippines and before you venture with any of it consult an expert opinion on what to do/and what not to do.
