I really want to start my own business with my age 26 this time. But i only have a small amount for capital. I only have 6,000.00. Can i have a chance to start my business? Could you suggest some possible business for a small capitalist like me?

Well obviously the internet is a choice. If you get a good idea for a website you have almost no overhead (think less than $100 a year for hosting etc...), although of course unless you're a developer and a designer you will have to pay people to do this work for you. Apart from that I don't know enough to suggest what you could do, but don't rule out the internet as a place for serious business just because so many people only make money taking surveys and junk like that. There's a lot out there (see TechCrunch for ideas).

Hi, I wonder wherepart ofthe Philippines are you from. If you are somewhere metro manila, my advice is," Buy and sell " and allow your money to roll in daily or weekly basis . You will be doubling your money within 2 months time. But what should you buy to make it possible? well, observe from your neighborhood what products they usually buy and find out the selling price. If you think its hard to do, go to shopping malls nearer to your place and see how bags, pants, shirts cost. Record it. Then go to divisoria and find the same products and sure thing Shopping malls price are doubled to compare to divisoria. Buy just selected items according to your ability to dispose. Buy at least 3 of its kind and make a variety, so you can dispose them easily. If the Products are all sold out, go back and roll back. There are 1001 products or items you can choose out there.Be sensitive and feel the flow.
