My friend and I are planning on starting a food cart business. There are lot of businesses in the Philippines right now that does franchising, and it makes it easy for people who don't have any experiences in running a business to start a new one.

I have also been interested with franchising unfortunately I don't have the money for the capital as of now but who knows in a few years from now I will be able to save up and finally have my own franchise.

hi there! i would suggest you to sell something that any person would not live without in a day. it could be food, clothing, toiletries, or cellphone load. Food cart is a good business but you have to place your cart near schools if you want to earn more from it. Clothing like RTW's or Ready to Wear is also a good business idea. I suggest you buying in bulk online, but make sure that you are going to purchase your item from a trusted merchant. You can offer your supplies in offices and to your friends and families, too. I have read something from online about soap making. it is actually a good business but you have to learn how to make it and you also have to learn the marketing strategy. Someone here in the Philippines started her soap making business with P5,000 only as her capital and now she is a millionaire. Her secret is that she really took time to learn everything about soap making and how to market the business. I suggest you read some articles online about how to start and manage small businesses.

I think it is very individual, not every business suits everyone. What you should do is ask yourself: What do I like to do? What am I good at? And I think you will find the best answer that way. Always start with yourself, since what works for others might not work for you!
