Open a small business in the philippines?

If your given the chance to open a small business in the philippines, what would it be? What would be the most profitable type of business that you can think of for this year… or should you simply employ yourself?

I’m just wondering what other people are thinking at the moment, We all know the food industry is quite a good start too, and there are a lot others, what risks are you afraid of……

all comments and ideas are welcome! :)

    you are correct, the food industry will never go down even other industries fail.

    Another business aside from food industry that will never go down even other industries fail is clothing but not just clothing but clothing for kids….. affordable clothing for kids and other kids stuff necessity like diaper, feeding bottle etc. Those things that cannot be strip from a kids everyday living. Parents at this crisis time can say my shirt still good enough i rather buy next month or next year, but kids clothing is parents priority they cannot bear to see their kids wearing an old shirt, going to a party wearing the same shirt their kids already used in the other friends party.

    We have at the moment a small business selling all this stuff, but due to the time required to take care the store in full time basis (which i cannot since i am having two kids which i preper to take care myself while they are still on their young age, 8 and 3 yrs old) the income although can survive i consider not good enough, in such i am looking for an alternative to market our products.

    We are also offering whole sale for the clothing, these are all made from philippines in such consumers can insure to have a high quality but affordable items for their kids.

    Our Store : “Pambata Atbp.” located at Calamba Laguna Philippines

    Hi everybody!

    Could anyone give me ideas/procedures in starting a consessionaire business? I am planning to have it in a office building with call center agents as my primary customer. I really don’t have any idea in starting this. Thanks

    I wondered how to start a small business, that some of the big business was closed or merged to other company. I heard some thought that laksan ng loob lang yan,but how? food industry is top and clothing is best,but how people can buy this things. that their budjet is enough to their daily need.
    some of our kababayan is isang kahig isang kain lang,so how can I start a small business.making a good investment to our poor kababayan,and make a good profits to the poor.?

    Im an australian looking towards moving to the philippines in dec 2011. Im heading towards fabrication of structual steel for export overseas and large building projects thoughout the philippines. Also considering food bays in a sm mall, where i will cook and serve. Also considering importing bessa brick molding machines from south africa for building houses, sheds and workshops etc. I have been in search of a philippino parter but this has proven to be difficult. But to combine the last two would mean easy constuction of complete house packages. Philippines is developing very fast in terms of structual and i believe this could make someone extremely wealthy if they can control that market. This is a small business idea because you start small but with long hours and more contracts you can grow very fast(1-2 years)
