Putting up a business is a constant desire. Most people with larger capital delve into franchising. Others shell out thousands to rent their own place
and buy necessary equipment for the business (do not discount the hard facts of marketing). But if you are just a regular Juan dela Cruz, who earns a typical
amount as a regular (or worse, contractual) employee, would this mean that putting up your own dream business is obviously out of your league?
The answer is NO.
As a matter of fact, there are a lot of ways to start a business without the headache of renting a place (admit it… it will take a big bite from your moolah), and without the right marketing style, you are expected to hit the ground the earliest possible.
Here are just a few business ideas that require only a considerable amount of money. Capital needed to set it up may range from P5,000-P10,000… so start planning now.
A sari-sari store. The basic. As
long as you have a small place in your home that needs a little bit of
cleaning, then putting up such a business is a breeze. All you need to
do now is to buy all the stuff that you need, and voila! You have an
instant sari-sari store. You don’t even have to put up your own sign,
as long as everyone who passes by takes notice of all the stocked goods
in your place.
A tutoring center. Just like a
sari-sari store, you don’t have to rent a place for this. A vacant room
in your house will do and I’m sure you also have stocks of books (from
elementary to college) in your house that you can use. The only thing
that you need to invest here is a couple of chairs and tables for your
tutoring center. Plus, marketing is very important. But in this age of
technology and computers, you can have all the marketing you need in
just one click. You can also post your ads in newspapers, free of
charge.
A cellphone load business. It’s high time you use your phone to good use. Your phone doesn’t have
to be of the latest model . It could just even be the phone that you
threw away because the numbers seem to vanish, or the phone that you
got tired of because it took a long while for your message to be sent.
And then just buy a special sim card for the phone loading business.
Put up a card outside your home to announce your business and there you
have it… hard-earned money right at your very home.
Cake and pastry business. For
those who love to bake, bake, and bake, this is the job for you. The
ingredients don’t cost much, and the only marketing style you have to
do is to have your family and friends taste the one-of-a-kind cake that
you created. The business works through word-of-mouth. By the end of
the day, I’m sure you will have your orders filled.
A small school supplies store.
Just like a sari-sari store, you just need to clean up a small place in
your house, buy all the school supplies that you need and put up a sign
on your gate to advertise you new business. Or better yet, go around
your neighborhood and put up the sign near a school, a church or the
marketplace. I’m sure, you’ll have students trooping to your store
before the end of the day. – www.magnegosyo.com
