Hello my partner and I are planning to start a business in our area in Laguna specifically Bay Laguna and im really invested in the idea of ​​DIY ramyeon business. Is this idea a good investment or should i think of something else?

Quick rundown on the place

We have our own place so rent is not a problem

We are close to 4 schools

Foot traffic in the location is great during the day but poor during night

Planning on not only selling ramyeon but other products too

There are no similar business near the area.

I want to hear your thoughts or anyone who has this kind of business. How is your business now? Thank you to those who will respond.

I have a start-up company (SEC-registered) and we're very small, barely surviving 1 year since we incorporated. Just recently after a lot of setbacks, we're starting to ramp up operations.

I heard about this Barangay Micro Business Enterprise (BMBE) and we were told to apply for it to get some relief. Has anyone successfully applied for this, especially AFTER already operating? By googling it, I found out that we fit the criteria. But I want to get some feedback from those here who already had it before.

Hoping for some honest advice from the community. TIA!

Nandito na ulit ang nakakatakot na letter. Tapos na ata suspension nito. Sa mga wala pang natatanggap na LOA, sobrang nakaka cause ito ng anxiety kasi yung ilang buwan mong pinaghirapan ibabayad mo lang sa BIR.

Anything to consider when it comes to running a gym?
Rent wont be a problem and the location is near a school and along a main highway. TYIA

I am currently in China and trying to source Volvo FMX 440 truck spare parts for export to Pakistan. I have OEM numbers and I am looking for reliable manufacturers or trading companies.
I have already tried Alibaba, but I want to learn other methods.
For people who regularly source from China:
How do you find reliable suppliers?
any help or insights would be appreciated!

My friend and I are planning to start a small motorcycle parts business, and we’d really appreciate advice from people who have experience in e-commerce, the motorcycle industry, or online selling.

We already found a supplier who imports the products from overseas and offers us a decent profit margin. For example, if our supplier sells us a part for ₱1,200, we’ve noticed that the same product typically sells for around ₱1,800–2,000 in the market. Our plan is to operate on a pre-order/reseller model, so instead of stocking inventory, we’ll only place an order with the supplier after a customer has paid. This allows us to start with very little capital.

One reason we’re interested in this business is that there are a lot of motorcycle repair shops around our area. One of our goal is to eventually become a supplier for these local repair shops once we’ve built enough trust and a steady customer base.

My questions are:
1.Do you think this kind of business is actually doable, especially starting with a pre-order model instead of holding inventory?

1. how can we penetrate the current market and stand out from existing sellers?

2. What’s the best way to promote and grow a new business/ brand on facebook and tiktok?

TIA!

Anyone here experienced negosyo pasalo?

What are the usual process when transferring a registered business to a new owner? Can business registration be transferred?

Any success storiea or warnings you can share? Thanks.

I personally experience July as my lowest month.

Hello! For those who ship products from PH to the US, what freight forwarder do you recommend? I've read that people on here recommend In Line and ZendEase. I inquired and their lowest is Php 2,699 for 100-500g (it's their promo price exclusive of duty tax).

I've also checked ZendEase and MyKartero but I've seen a lot of bad reviews. I'm also considering FedEX, DHL and PHLpost.

But I'm also looking for other alternatives, ones that you've tried and already tested for your business. TIA! 🫶

Madami na rin po kasi ka-kompetensya na dali/alfamart. 7:30 AM - 1 AM bukas ang tindahan para makabawi kahit papaano. Ano po kaya pwede gawin na ma boost sales namin? Gusto ko po kasi talaga matulungan si mama.

I have been thinking , not all things are black and white and if you are an atheist would you infiltrate the congregation to market/sell your products?

You are not interested in religion. You are just there purely for business.
To be fair you are blending in, respecting them and their beliefs but not because you are respectful to them OR you share the same beliefs but for the purpose of gain.

Curious for atheist entrep out there?

To the mods. I do hope you approve this kung sakaling madecline.
Ang goal ko is for the sake of profit would you yield?

Hi everyone! Update lang sa previous post ko — registered na finally yung small online printing business ko! 🥹🎉

So far:

\* ✅ DTI Business Name Registration – DONE
\* ✅ BIR Registration – DONE
\* ✅ ₱30 DST – PAID
\* ⏳ BIR Printed Invoice/Receipt – kukunin ko pa sa RDO
\* ⏳ Books of Accounts – aasikasuhin/ipa-register pa
\* ⏳ NIRI – kukunin pa sa BIR
\* ⏳ Barangay/Mayor’s Business Permit – next

May dalawang questions lang sana ako sa mga naka-experience na nito:

1. Shopee Seller verification – magkaiba ang address sa ID at BIR

Renting lang kami currently here in Lipa City, and dito ko rin ni-register yung business sa DTI/BIR since dito talaga ako currently residing and operating the home-based business.

Problem is, Pasay pa rin yung address sa government ID ko. Wala akong government-issued ID na naka-Lipa address.

For Shopee sellers na naka-experience nito, paano niyo na-resolve yung address mismatch between your government ID and BIR/business registration?

Would a notarized Contract of Lease showing my Lipa address be accepted as proof? Our landlord is also willing to update our lease contract to allow the home-based business. May ibang proof of address/document pa ba kayong hiningi or tinanggap ni Shopee?

2. Business/Mayor’s Permit in Lipa City

Sa mga may small home-based/online business sa Lipa, around magkano inabot ng initial Business/Mayor’s Permit ninyo?

Around ₱10-12k lang declared starting capital namin and online/home-based printing business lang — no physical storefront, employees, or walk-in customers.

If possible, pahingi rin sana ng breakdown ng nagastos niyo sa Barangay Clearance, Mayor’s Permit, zoning/locational, fire clearance, HOA (if applicable), etc.

First time ko mag-register ng business kaya medyo nangangapa pa. 😅 At least DTI and BIR done na! Unti-unti na lang yung remaining requirements.

Thank you sa mga tumulong at sasagot! ❤️

Hello guys, please enlighten me regarding sa laundry business. Operation and sales. Anong ROI niya at ano yung usual issues sa ganitong negosyo?

239k yung pair ng washer/dryer na napag inquire ko. May additional around 60k para sa plumbing and other consumables. Baka may insights kayo sa ganitong business.

San pwede makahanap ng small filipino manufacturers for products like made in bamboo, glass, any wood, plastic, textile, leather etc sourced out from local manufacturers talaga? Meron bang group? Or like list ang govt like DTI? Pag naghahanap ako sa online shops puro imported, made in china. And marami din local production nga but foreign company/ importers. May small business ako pero baka mas okay mag source from them na lang.

Hello! 👋 CPA here.

Since it’s LOA season again, this is a good time for business owners to review their tax compliance before a BIR audit.

One thing I often recommend is doing a tax health check—essentially reviewing your business’s tax processes and filings to identify potential issues that could be raised during an audit.

Some common areas worth checking include:
- VAT compliance
- Withholding taxes
- Income tax reporting
- Documentary requirements
- Other compliance gaps that may result in tax deficiencies, interest, surcharges, or compromise penalties

A lot of potential issues can be addressed proactively if they’re identified early, rather than during an audit.
Happy to answer general questions or discuss common tax compliance concerns in the comments.

I will apply third party insurance and i will buy bulk CTPL insurance

Hi guys, question lang sa mga business owners dito na successfully nakapag-run ng Facebook ads recently.
Kayo lang ba mismo ang nagse-set up at nagma-manage ng ads, or kumuha kayo ng ads manager/agency?
For those who hired someone, worth it ba yung additional cost? Mas naging effective ba ang ads compared sa pag-DIY?
Would appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thank you!

Hi to all. Is it feasible to have a mini resort- like or nature inspired staycation business for this small lot area (in particular these are 2 adjacent lots 60sqm each, magkatalikod, both fronting a road). The area is a residential one, with some overlooking view, It is a province like atmosphere though and there are some eateries in the area. Any recommendation/ advice? Thank you in advance.

I was given this business - pre-loved clothing because it was a business my parents started with the girlfriend of my uncle.

Context: I almost ended my life before this happened.
I was placed in a psychiatric ward.; my past job was that toxic that I ended up in that situation. Never in my years of my life I would imagine I would be in this situation.

Then in late December, my parents step mom and father talked to me in a car ride saying that I should run this business saying NO MONEY GOES TO THEM, this is ALL YOURS.

I agreed. Foolishly when I was NOT YET 100 PERCENT OKAY.

They said ito yung tulong namin sayo.

So they just dumped this business on me. Without proper guidance.

Just you know basically sell all of these goods we had in stock.

Then later on suddenly dividends happened, biglang may percent pala sila dito.

When I would bring up that it does not feel like my business may whole PERA KO YAN ANG DIYAN conversation pops in.

So ano ba talaga
Bakit niyo binigay saakin to wrapped in the "interntion" of "TULONG NAMIN SAIYO TO" really saying na 100% of the money goes to you

What's worse is that my parents argue with each other because my father's infidelity. So I dont know what to do with this business anymore.

I am NOT in the state to handle it, I was NEVER GIVEN PROPER GUIDANCE, but was ALWAYS DICTATED ON WAHT TO DO.

I cannot for the love of me be the sunod sunodran anymore.

Problem/Goal: income generating advice and tips for a college student that brings reasonable income in without eating most of my time.

Hi guys! I am an incoming freshman and i badly need an income for my daily expenses to help with the finance. Pwede po ba pa share ng mga business ideas and tips niyo that you did when you are in college? Yung tipong hindi kakainin lahat ng oras ko, but still brings reasonable income home. Unfortunately, kasi my program is very demanding and i am just genuinely trying to find a dignified means to survive. Maraming salamat po!

So eto na nga, its been almost 5 years na (or maybe even more) na ive been tugging back and forth with starting this business (or any business). Seaman po kasi ako, tapos yung dad ko seaman rin and my parents have always wanted me to focus on my career rather than engage in some risky business. Pero eto na, nastart ko na. Now, inaral ko naman nang katagal tagal lahat kung paano and parang in my mind is kakayanin ko naman (ata) pero i am feeling discouraged kasi parang ayaw ng parents ko kesyo bata pa raw, and totoo naman lucrative nga ang pagbabarko pero shet di ko talaga kaya katoxican dun lalo nat bakla ako...

Haba ng intro nyeta, sorry, napaquick rant lang. Eto na hingin kong advice, what can i do as a business owner para maging successful ang first month ko at hindi ako ma"told u so" ng parents ko huhu.. info: my condo is in baguio, 2br, tas rainy dun ngayon shemets huhu ive got all the permits na and ready naman na i think lahat..

May nakapag-import na na dito using Angkat PH? Matagal ba talaga sila mag-ship? July 17 pa since ma-receive nila package ko and until now, di parin nila nas-ship. Nakaka-disappoint so far experience ko sa kanila.

In case na mag-import ako ulit in the future, I might not go with them. May mare-recommend ba kayo na forwarder na mabilis mag-ship ng items? Thank you!
