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.

I, a 23 year-old lady, want to start a clothing business – women's clothing line. Tops, skirts and dresses. But gusto ko muna mag-start sa tops. Worth it ba? Realtalk pls.

Since 16 ako, side quest ko na ang online selling. Pumapaldo naman, pero syempre may mga araw na walang benta pero nauubos naman. Ngayon lang medyo nawala kasi na-busy ako since college days na at CE student pa. Pero since malapit na ako grumaduate (hopefully 🤞), naalala ko na naman siya at nagising ang natutulog kong dream: to have my own clothing brand.

I'm still planning, i have so many ideas pero test the waters muna here. Online selling lang din as usual, tiktok, shopee, fb ganern.

Go na ba? Paglaanan ko na ba ng oras? Or too saturated na ang clothing business? Thank you! 🥰

Napapansin kong mga grand random ideas yung pinopost dito instead of actual problems experienced by real people.

hi everyone! I’m building a web app called Vendi’s Booth and wanted to get some honest feedback.
The idea is simple:
- Choose from exclusive artist-designed photo strips styles (new collections every month)
- Take or upload photos
- Get a photobooth strip like you’d get from a real booth
- Download it digitally or order printed strips delivered to your door
There will be a free plan and a ₱99/month subscription for exclusive designs and unlimited saved strips.
Do you think something like this has a market? Would you use it or pay for it? Why or why not? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Context: I have been working in our family business for 6 years now. Most of my staff are almost the same age as me (mid to late 20s).

I find it so difficult to balance between being an approachable and strict boss. I know that how you approach employees really depends on a case to case basis. Just wondering how you all deal with this dilemma.

Hi everyone! I’ve been seeing a lot of ads about this receipt Photobooth. Compared to traditional more common photobooth, this one’s much smaller, user-friendly (almost self-service), and more portable.

I’d like to ask for your two cents (or kahit one lang kung short kayo chz haha) on this or if there some people in this sub who owns one or similar to this, I’d love to hear your experiences sana.

TBH, I just purchased a secondhand receipt photobootn worth 25k which includes everything I need to operate it naman any time. I’m plannin to bring and introduce it sa place namin sa province wherein I’m sure wala pang ganito dun. Just a background about the existing conditions:

• Target location: Developing municipality in the northern province
• Lots of cafes popping up recently (this year alone, may 3 na)
• I’m friends with some people in the food (catering) supplier industry and event coordinators.

• CONS: I’m not always at home kasi I now live in the city but I’m willing to adjust naman since online ang work. AT SUPER SHY AKO IN PERSON pero I can be chummy chummy too but I can’t ever be plastic. Ako yung tipong may subtitle yung mukha kapag ayaw yung kausap huhu I know this needs to be improved if want kong mag-establish ng good relationships with business pips.

Anywayyy I’m looking forward po to your comments and pieces of advice. Thank you! 🙏

I’ve been brainstorming a side hustle and want your brutally honest opinions before I drop any money on inventory. I’m thinking of starting a board and card game rental business here in Cebu City. Does it have a potential? If ever, would you rent? Let me know your thoughts!

Our family has a warehouse and we are having a hard time finding tenants due to it not being a low ceiling and cannot support big trucks. We are discussing getting a loan to convert the thing into a residential area but I still have some reservations. My father is optimistic but I am more pessimistic and am preparing for the worst where even converting it won't be helpful and we are borrowing money for nothing. I just wanted to ask what others will do in my position?

Hey everyone, I’m looking to understand the current playbook for leasing out industrial and warehouse space.

For those of you managing or leasing out warehouses (around 500-1000 sqm):

1. Where do most of your qualified leads come from?
   
2. What channels are a waste of time or money?
   
3. What specific features or details do tenants care about most when deciding on a space today (clear height, loading docks, power supply, yard space)?

Appreciate any insights or real-world experiences you can share!

Hi — anyone here knows someone who is working as a tax practitioner and dealing with bookkeeping + compliance with the BIR? May or may not be a CPA.

How green, financially, is this line of work? Do you have to be more technical or must have connections in the BIR?

Hi everyone, nagstart kami ng small business ng misis ko. Pork Tapa (pindang) ang product namin naka-vacuum seal ang packaging. 99.00 per pack ang benta 200grams ang laman nya. And surprisingly bumenta syaaa. Possible kaya na mapaship ang products namin nationwide? Ayaw sana namin ma-limit ang selling sa lugar namin. Balak din namin magdagdag pa ng ibang variant. Baka may naka-try na po sa inyo na nakapagpa-ship ng mga ganitong products. Baka may mga tips or advices po kayo para mapatagal ang shelf life nang wala sa freezer(during shipment).

Thank you so much and God bless.

PS. Wala pa po kami Name baka may suggestion kayo.

Balak namin magdagdag ng daing na bangus, tinapang bangus, beef tapa atbp..

We're a student-led and based web design and dev company and we're also doing software and programming. We have an idea of some sort that were inspired from a couple of reels in our feed. It involves sending messages to the bride and groom in wedding situations. I'll tell the whole detail in dms

Mostly OPC/sole prop nakikita ko na discussion and mixed answers naman when searching online. I'd like to ask ano mga requirements and steps to register for a Certificate of Registration for a 4-person corporation?

SEC registered na kami. Non-operational pa because we wanted to get all the documents prepared muna. It's been a few months since we are registered under SEC kaya d ko sure if may late registration fee ba for BIR.

ang nabasa ko online is the following:

BIR Form 1903

SEC Registration

Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws

Proof of business location: proof of ownership or lease contract

Valid IDs ng mga Incorporators saka board resolution or secretary's cert

Medyo nag iiba na ung nababasa ko rito so I'm not sure if needed pa ito since nag release ng ease of doing business na memorandum last Mar 2020.

Mayor's permit or proof of application for mayor's permit

After that, kami ba magpprovide or si BIR ung bibigay ng book of accounts, receipts, ledger etc?

If you could share your experiences or provide some guidance, that would be appreciated

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for an accounting firm/agency in the Philippines that has solid experience handling e-commerce businesses.

Our company primarily sells through:

• Shopee
• Lazada
• TikTok Shop
• Our own website

We're VAT-registered and online transactions only, so I'm looking for someone who genuinely understands the e-commerce space, including marketplace reconciliations, BIR compliance, bookkeeping, inventory, and financial reporting and COGS (From china)

Ideally, I'd like someone who:

• Has existing e-commerce clients
• Is responsive and proactive
• Can provide compliance advice
• Is familiar with marketplace payouts, fees, and reconciliations

If you've worked with an accountant you highly recommend, I'd really appreciate any referrals (or feel free to DM me).

Also, guys magkano usually rate ng accountant niyo (Monthtly Retainer or quarterly)?
Small size business (10M+ yearly)

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

I’m opening my first business and would love some honest advice before I invest my savings.

The concept is a takeaway-only eatery & café beside a school and barangay hall. Since the space is small, there won’t be any dine-in.

Menu:
Silog meals
Wings
Pancit Bihon
Spanish Latte
Caramel Latte
Matcha (Classic, Dirty, Frappe)
Java Chip Frappe

To save on startup costs, I’m planning to skip the espresso machine for now and use Nescafé Gold + a milk frother instead.

A few questions:

Is takeaway-only a bad idea?
Would you invest in an espresso machine from day one?
What mistakes do first-time food business owners usually make?
If you were a student, what would make you keep coming back?

I’d appreciate any honest advice. Thanks!

Hello po!

I’m looking to start a billiard hall as a second source of income. Do you think 2–3 tables are enough for a startup, or should I save up for more?

I’m also thinking of selling beer and pulutan to increase revenue. For those who serve alcohol, how do you prevent fights or customers causing trouble? Do you have house rules, security, or do you just refuse service to drunk customers?

Would love to hear your experience and any advice before I take the leap. Thanks!
