Starting a business in the Philippines. Information required!

[melovesengland]

Hi,

I'm wondering how much a Salon/Parlor owner would make on average per month. Im looking to pay for my GF to start her own business in Bulacan but I have no idea what salary we would expect to bring in each month...

She has told me that she currently spends about 35,000 php each month to survive, so we would need this kind of profit after costs with the business.

Please can anyone advise if its even remotely possible to make this kind of money with a parlor which I would be looking to spend about 500,000php to build in Bulacan.


Thank you

35 grand? Is she joking? thats way to much for a living in the PI and to tell you honestly I havent seen a business in the philippines owned by white, succeeded and boomed since I left. I knew a few who ended up closing their business as its not making ANY profit and lost their money. BE CAREFUL, LOVE!

I guess it depend on what kind of life style the person has.. so if the person is thrifty she can save more for the future... and can survive everyday with simple and healthy food on the table ..less wants and luxuries ..

And my cousin just closed her parlor few months ago. :0 lotsa competitors... if u want a parlor first i guess u should know how to do that thing a beautician does.. u must know all the work inside so less people less expenses for salary part.

35,000? she has a different kind cost of living.. and also better to think of a kind of business which you can earn your capital for a year... Lot's of competition here in business industries but if your thinking of salon especially on part of Bulacan... Being an industrial economist I would rather suggest to put your money in basic necessity business on that area ...probably it will click and your gf will earn lots rather than in a salon. You will never regret to put your money on it.
