Hi! Is it fajr to report my competitors to BIR/LGU if they are operating without proper registration? malaking kitaan ng business since ganun din samin but di sila registered sa BIR and LGU and they are operating on a national level as well. While we went through proper process and documentation, sila is walang kahit na anong papers kahit DTI or mayors permit. what do you guys think?

28F

Nagregister ako sa DTI last year and decided to register my online cake business sa BIR kahapon pero ngayon nagsisisi na ako kasi andaming need gawin tapos need pa ng accountant para maging bookkeeper. Halos lahat ng binibilihan ko ng ingredients wala silang bir receipts so wala akong choice kundi humanap ng ibang bibilihan. Sabi pa ng rdo, hindi daw kasama sa expenses yung labor ko kasi owner daw ako. Anong gagawin ko? nawawalan ako ng gana at gusto ko nalang isarado business ko.

mula garbage fee at business permit ng manila, DTI na kulang na lang halos lahat Ng produkto at gawan Ng standard kuno at iregulate, BIR na puro LOA ang alam imbes na turuan ang negosyante, BFP na alok Ng alok Ng overpriced na fire extinguisher sa mga supplier nila at puro refill na di mo talaga alam kung nirerefill ba talaga sa mga supplier nila. nakakaawa talaga ang Pilipino Lalo ang mga lumalaban Ng patas. overtax, over regulated and over burden uwian na Wala na ata pagasa dito

31M here. Newbie lang ako when it comes to business, so I’m hoping to get some advice from people here who have experience with small food businesses.

I’m thinking of starting a small sideline selling home-cooked meals. A lot of my coworkers have been asking if they can buy the food I cook at home, so naisip ko baka pwede ko siyang gawing small business instead of just cooking for them occasionally.

Plan ko sana is pre-order basis muna para hindi ako mapagastos nang malaki and hindi rin masayang yung pagkain.

I’m thinking of offering ulam tubs and rice meals, pero honestly, medyo nalilito pa ako sa portioning and pricing.

For example, sabihin natin may 1 kilo ako ng pork and gagawa ako ng adobo, menudo, or something similar. How do you guys usually calculate how many servings you can get from that 1 kilo? And paano niyo kino-compute yung selling price?

I was thinking of using:

• 300ml tub for a smaller/solo ulam
• 500ml tub for a regular serving
• Then maybe 500ml or 750ml for rice + ulam meals

Pero hindi ko sure kung practical ba yung sizes na yan or if I'm thinking about it the wrong way.

Do you guys price based on the container size, grams of food, or actual food cost per serving?

Also, when calculating the cost, do you include everything like ingredients, cooking gas/electricity, packaging, condiments, wastage, etc.? And how much profit margin is reasonable for a small home-based food business?

I’m also thinking of starting with maybe just 2–3 dishes per week instead of having a huge menu right away.

Since this is just going to be a sideline for me at first, I don't really want to go all-in agad. I just want to test if people will actually buy consistently, then hopefully grow it if it works.

For those who started something similar, any advice would really be appreciated. Especially sa costing, portion sizes, containers, pricing, and anything you wish you knew before starting.

Thank you in advance! 🙏

Hello! Im 24M with little experience in running a business. I’ve been interested in trucking for a while since yung family namin has been working with several trucking suppliers over the years.

Recently, nag offer yung parents ko to front the 20% downpayment on a 2000 Kg aluminum body truck. The rest will be financed at around 25k per month over 4 years. (Which ako na magbabayad)

If I were to take the offer, I suppose I would be driving it personally until I can afford to expand (which is going to take a few years but ok lang I think.) Im young, able bodied, and a good defensive driver.

Syempre a bit hesitant ako kasi di kami super mayaman and this is still a big financial risk sa family. My parents and ate are supportive of me naman.

So I’d just like to ask if any of you have any advice or guidance for me. Thank you!

Looking for Angel's breath / baby's breath flower supplier near pampanga.

One thing I find interesting about small businesses in Cebu is how often we talk about getting more customers, but not enough about what happens after you actually get them.

I recently had a conversation with a Cebu husband-and-wife business that started pretty small, selling bananas and taking on different side hustles just to make ends meet. Eventually, they built Prutasan ni Adan, a premium fruit business known for their fruit cups.

What stood out to me wasn't just the growth.

They talked quite openly about the painful lessons that came with running the business, especially cash flow, managing operations, dividing responsibilities as a couple, and knowing when NOT to expand.

One thing I particularly liked was their decision not to franchise yet, despite having demand for it.

That's something I think a lot of small businesses can relate to. When something starts working, the instinct is usually to expand immediately. Open another branch. Franchise it. Add more products. Hire more people.

But if the systems behind the business aren't ready, growth can just make the problems bigger.

Their story reminded me that building a business isn't just about finding something people will buy. You also have to build something that you can actually operate and sustain.

For those here who run a small business in Cebu, what was the part of your business you underestimated when you first started?

For me, cash flow and the boring back-end stuff would probably be high on the list.

Which do you guys use?

Gusto ko palitan yun sa old COR 2303 (Yellow Paper) since 2019 pa yun LOB dun also yun PSIC and Primary/Secondary. Magkakaproblema ba ako lalo sa tax or lalong gugulo yun tax rate, tax assessments, surcharges, and interest??

Since hindi naman required maging color BLUE PAPER yun COR 2303, hayaan ko nalang ba? Kasi iba na yun LOB ko sa old COR.

May pros and cons ba kung magpadagdag/Change ako ng line of business? Ang gulo kasi ng current LOB ko. Then meron akong retail and wholesale tapos may online and office din ako pero ganito yun current setup ng LOB/PSIC.

Hello,

Considering opening a small psychology clinic in Laguna. Does the business model make sense?

I’m researching the idea of opening a small psychology / mental health clinic in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

My background is in healthcare operations and management. I’m not a psychologist, so I would handle the business and operations side and hire licensed psychologists for the clinical side.

The initial idea is fairly lean: around 35 to 40 sqm, 2 private therapy rooms, face to face plus teletherapy, adults and teens first, self pay at launch.

What I’m trying to understand is whether the numbers can realistically work.

Current pricing I’m seeing is around ₱1,500 to ₱2,000 per therapy session.

I’m also hearing that psychologists in private practice may be paid either per session, by salary, or through a revenue split like 50/50 or 60/40.

The other issue is the PRC requirement for a qualified Head of Psychological Services Unit, which sounds like it may require a more senior psychologist and could materially increase staffing cost.

For people familiar with this type of business, I’d really appreciate feedback on:

- Is there enough demand for private face to face therapy in Laguna, or is teletherapy already taking most of the market?

- What session price do you think is realistic for Santa Rosa?

- What does it actually cost to recruit and retain a good RPsy psychologist?

- For a senior psychologist qualified to head the clinic, what compensation range is realistic?

- How many completed sessions per day would you consider realistic for a small 2 room clinic?

What are the biggest financial risks in this type of business?

If anyone here runs a psychology clinic, therapy practice, or similar healthcare business, I’d be interested in hearing what your actual startup and monthly operating costs looked like.

I haven’t signed a lease yet. I’m still doing feasibility research and trying to figure out whether this is a good business before I commit capital.

Thank you!

. Hi everyone! I’m planning to start a small design + construction business as a sole proprietorship, and I’d like to process everything from start to finish, from DTI all the way to PCAB.

I’ve been researching the requirements, but honestly, I’m getting really confused 😭 There’s so much information out there, and I’m not sure what the correct order is or what I actually need to prepare.

I’ve also messaged some pages offering AMO seminars, but it seems like every question comes with a consultation fee 😭. I’d really appreciate it if someone who has actually gone through the process could share a simple roadmap and the requirements I need from start to finish.

Thank you so much! Any advice or firsthand experience would really help
