I think selling second-hand clothing would really be a hit. That's what I'm planning to do. I'm here in US, and just found out that used branded clothes here are way cheaper than what you can buy in Manila. You know people there likes branded stuff. The thing is, we have to figure out how to ship the boxes the cheapest way possible. Goodluck!

Well none of us can give you the right business you start.. But let me give you 3 criterias that might work for you. 1. Choose the business based on what you like. Let's say you like fashion world, then you should have a fashion based business. It could be a boutique, a party costume rental, or an accessories store. 2. What most Manila people like, or what is happening in Manila... Maybe western clothing is happening thing in Manila or Japanese style. You better start a business that have customers. 3. Customize your business, make it more personal. And the final step is customize the way you market your business. If you have a boutique, try not to let your customer wandering around, talk to them, find out what they like, what they expect to find, and then suggest them the combination. That way you can sell 2 pieces instead of only 1 piece if you don't help them. I hope it's worth to try, and success for your business..

setting up any business, needs careful planning, if you want to have "a patok sa masa business" and your location was near to town houses you will not succed so better analyze first whom your buyers are, are their class, middle class, or high class? there you decide what to put up. And one more tip, do not use teardrop as your business name.
