May computer shop at piso tablet business ako. Registered naman ito sa DTI, BIR, at LGU.

Lately, napapansin ko na dumarami ang mga dumadayo sa shop namin para maglaro ng online gambling. Oo, customers at dagdag kita rin sila, pero mas nangingibabaw na ang concern ko sa safety—para sa sarili ko, sa staff ko, at sa iba naming customers. Marami rin kasing kabataan at menor de edad ang regular na gumagamit ng shop.

Kinausap ko na rin ang technician namin para i-block ang access sa mga online gambling sites. Plano ko rin maglagay ng announcement na bawal ang paglalaro ng online gambling sa loob ng shop.

Nag-research din ako kung may batas, ordinansa, o regulation na tahasang nagbabawal sa online gambling sa mga pampublikong establishments, lalo na sa mga lugar na karaniwang pinupuntahan ng mga menor de edad. Sa ngayon, wala akong makitang malinaw na legal basis na puwede kong gawing sandigan para sa policy na ito.

Sa tingin ninyo, ano ang pinakamagandang gawin? Bilang business owner, sapat na bang gumawa ako ng sariling house rules at i-ban ang online gambling sa shop, o kailangan ko pa ng legal basis? Kung may alam kayong batas, ordinansa, o experience sa ganitong sitwasyon, malaking tulong ang maibabahagi ninyo.

Hello! I'm 24F and I'm planning to start a photobooth business, including a 360 booth and magazine booth. I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice.

This will be my first business and I genuinely feel like I can do well in it. I just don't know where to start :) Any tips, experiences, or guidance would mean a lot. Salamat po!

Hi everyone! I am planning to invest 100k PHP and really want to get into the fitness/health industry.
I know 100k is too small to start a major fitness business alone, so I am considering entering a business partnership to pool resources. Two ideas I’m looking at are:

Pickleball court construction/rental
Pilates boutique studio

Before I take any steps, I would love to get your insights on a few things:

Feasibility: Is 100k PHP realistic as a minority share/partner investment for these types of capital-intensive ventures?

Partnership Risks: For those who entered partnerships with low capital, how did you structure the equity and profit-sharing safely?

Industry Viability: Between Pilates and Pickleball, which one has better longevity and ROI in the current Philippine market? Is Pickleball just a trend, or is it here to stay?

Alternative Ideas: If 100k is too low for these, what other fitness/health-related micro-businesses or franchise options should I look into instead?

Would appreciate any advice, harsh realities, or structural tips you can share. Thanks

Isa sa mga fastest ROI ko is yung 360 video booth business ko, imagine charing 7-10k per event, tapos investment mo lang is yung 360 booth na worth 35-40k. Need lang mo lang talaga i-market ng sobra then after that word of mouth nalang. Sobrang thankful ko din sa supplier ko kasi napaka hands on magturo, like kung ano mga need gamitin, bibilhin, also pag setup sa software. Anyw yun lang, may passive income na ako without breaking the bank

Hello, I would like to ask if meron po dito na direct importer ng frozen meat and poultry product. Gusto ko sana bumili ng 20-40 ton of meat and poultry product twice a month.

Hi! Currently a part time instructor in our local SUC. For context, my location is 4-5 hours away from city proper and napansin ko na most of our students have their thesis/ hardbound requirements done in the city proper pa because walang nag ooffer ng bookbinding sa area namin, is it worth it ba to invest and learn and kung magkano ang needed na puhunan para maka start? Thank you!

Hello, I’m Aurora and I currently reside in Davao City (Around Mintal area, not specifying due to safety) and I’m 21 years old with around 100k in savings. I am in college (1st year) and my course is BSIT. I have enough knowledge on how to program, but I wouldn’t say professional.

My skills are mainly in art. But I know in the art business, it’s quite hard. I’m willing to start anything really, and my class schedule is very lenient since I only take online classes.

I don’t want to use up all my money in things that are not necessities and would like to let the money grow. But as my research goes—there’s many business ideas that I would like to start, but require big capital. I don’t know if 100k is big enough. I just really need to brainstorm ideas.

Aside from consistently posting videos and running ads, what are your tips in growing your tiktok shop?

Im sorry if its long but Im scared about my future haha :,)

Im scared of doing BS Entrepreneurship mostly because I feel like I don't have any capabilities to be an Entrepreneur , I am shy, Im bad at talking and fuck! even after I graduate I dont even have a single buisness to inherit unlike my future batchmates in BS Entrepreneur, Its either they have buisnesses to inherit, or have experience in doing Entrepreneurship, for me? I have none of that! I dont have those skills, and I feel like once I enter my class I'll be left behind. The part I like about Entrepreneurship is that it helps people and Creating the product to sell, but It makes me sad that as a business person I will get stereotyped into a "money hungry" person that takes advanatge of the poor.

I was supposed to do BS Culinary Arts but my parents said that i should just do BS Entrepreneurship instead and I could just get a certificate for Culinary after graduation. Now? I am lost.

And it makes me even more sad that people dont even respect the degree I am going to get, I feel like in the future, when I say to people "oh! I have a BS Entrepreneurship degree!" I feel like they'll just laugh at me and say "You couldve just started a company instead of studying!" which is true
:( im having so much worries and it doesnt help that my friends in junior high and people in the internet downplays DLSU, saying its a dumb school, and its only for the dumb rich kids that cant get in the other big 3.

I never thought that I would be in DLSU, My original path was to get in Benilde and do BS Culinary. But now I am here, I feel lost. What I fear the most is that when I graduate, I will only make 15k salary because of my degree. I am afraid that my businesses that I will make will fail, Im afraid that everything will fall apart once I graduate and that I cant be fully independent after I graduate and still have to rely on my parents for a place to live!

I want to be in DLSU because of its environment and people, but the future ahead because of my degree makes me scared. I am also fine with not being in Culinary Arts in Benilde because i can always pursue culinary after graduation if I decide to go there but my degree in BS Entrepreneurship will just go to waste then.

I want to make a business that helps people and will earn me a lot of money but i dont want to do resturants or any food related buisness because i see it as a highly saturated market, am not even sure if DLSU will consider it as a good product because it a app/online game for children to learn and change the way children learn if my product gets approved by DepEd, and then make a company that makes games, if that happens? I will truly feel fulfilled with my degree, and my second business option is to be a cosmetic business.

From what I am seeing is that students mostly gravitate to the soap or food industry instead of tech. ayoko yung "Bazaar" lang yung mga tasks and I hate it, I want to talk to higher ups, People that will help me in my buisness, Investments, not some food stall in the campus :(

I love creating things for people that help them, and i feel fufilled doing that.

Hi readers, small time business here. Asking for advice po. Kapag new clients (companies) , do you allow utang? Or COD lang muna?

Any tips for newbies? Kasi gusto ko sana magkaron ng new clients, and business is in survival mode right now..

Need help with the process, I know **NOTHING** about this... Some details is basically planning to setup a company that provides graphic design/art services and a **purely online business**. For reasons I don't really want to divulge I need it to be properly registered as a business.

So far was able to register/reserve the company name on DTI's website (paid the reservation fee/got the documents in digital form). What exactly do I have to do next? As far as I've been reading I don't really need a new TIN since a sole-prop will simply use my own TIN (correct me if I'm wrong). With regards to obtaining a mayor's permit/business permit a ton of its requirements seems to be quite irrelevant for my specific type of business since I'm a purely online business (stuff like fire safety? building clearance? and other clearances). I would be fine providing those clearances but the costs add up so quickly, is this really the right way to approach this?

Any advise/clarifications would be appreciated

Hello! Here we are again with this!

Im not against the workers or employees. But the govt should adjust the taxes of middle class and small business! Pero wala e. Lots of LOA from the BIR coming this month and next!.

Yes makatao naman po mga negosyante pero isipin muna nila sana at pag aralan bago mag hike ng 85. Pwede 40 pwedeng 50.

Wage increase = Goods increase = layoff employee = high crime rate = close stores = economy down

Baka susunod itlog naten 20 pesos each na.

What can you say about this? Any filchi taokes here?!

On my part having 10 to 15 employee sitting whole day? No way. Layoffs coming tlga.

Update: 60 increase July16 ; 25 Next year
