I recently sent out a text message to my friends as well as uploaded a simple website about a food business franchising opportunity here in the Philippines and I was surprised to get a handful of interested individuals who inquired regarding the how’s and the what’s of the business franchising opportunity I was telling them. For starters, it’s all about food…
Why a food business? Personally, I’m more of a tech guy and though I know how to cook, I’m not really that good at it. Furthermore, having a food business is not really into my system. So why am I into it? Well, because I don’t really have to worry much about the difficult stuff – thanks to franchising. With a franchise, I can actually setup my business within 2 weeks time (or less) and start making Philippine money out of it. But why food? Simple, people love food – everybody does. Even a person who is very very strict with his diet would indulge in some high-cholesterol yummy food once in a while. Food is basically hardwired into the human being’s system and that’s what makes it a good business.
Definition: If you’re not sure what a franchising means, it is a method of doing business wherein a franchisor licenses trademarks and tried and proven methods of doing business to a franchisee.
How much does it cost? Cheap. For as little as Php50,000 you can already start your own money making food business and you don’t have to worry about the nitty-gritty details because that’s what franchising is all about – all the little details are handled by the franchisor. All you need to do as a franchisee is to operate the system when the franchise was handed over to you.
What kind of food business franchises are available? There’s a lot of them but the most popular ones are waffle, burger, pizza, and shawarma. As I said, there are more of them and it’s just a matter of choosing which of them would fit your wants.
All you need is at least Php50,000 and you’re all set. Is 50,000 pesos too much? I don’t think so. If you think of all the money you’ve been spending, you will quickly realize that you’ve been throwing Php50,000 at least every 6 months on nothing. Think of electricity, hobbies, entertainment, e-load, vices if you have any, etc. I think it’s about time that we as citizens of the Philippines should start doing ‘good’ business instead of wasting our time on nonsense. If you’re wise, then you know what to do.
So, what’s in this for you? Answer: Financial freedom. Ask any businessman for advise on how to attain financial freedom and they will tell you to start a business and start investing. My dear friend, the whole idea is to make more money than you are spending. If you’re only earning as much as you spend, then you’re not financially free. Worst is you might actually be spending more than you earn and find yourself in debt all the time. If that’s your case, then I want you to rethink your life and start making wise decisions.
Now, before you tell me that you’re busy and that you don’t have time for this, I want you to first be honest to yourself. Are you really busy? If so, what makes you busy? Is that thing you’re doing that keeps you busy helps you attain financial freedom? Also, do you want to busy all your life? Personally, I don’t. If you’re tired of being busy, then here’s the chance for you to actually stop becoming busy and spend more time for the important things in life such as your family and yourself.
Ok, if you’re interested and I know you are because if you’re not then you wouldn’t have read this far, you can ask me for more information by sending an email to e@mikelopez.info or texting me at 09287840878. You can also reach me by phone at (044) 6914895. If you contact me by phone and I’m not home, then just look for Evelyn. She’s my wife and she’ll be happy to answer any inquiries you may have regarding the business.
Again, here’s my contact info:
- Email : e@mikelopez.info
- Cellphone: 09287840878
- Landline: (044) 6914895 and look for Mike or Evelyn
Email, text or call me for inquiries.
My dear reader, I’m offering you here the opportunity to take that first step into becoming financially free. Don’t waste this opportunity. I say grab it, or at least contact me for more info.
Be wise!

Hi Farah,
You may ask one of your relatives in the country to sign-up for you. The franchise will however be named in his/her name if you choose to do this.

Hi,
I just started this business and I am looking for assistance. Ive attended a couple of seminars and I believe that the concept of your blog regarding financial freedom is related to it (Robert Kiyosaki, Bob Sanchez, etc). I have a partner who’s more familiar with the products that we’re carrying and I just bombarded her with the ideas of launching this “as a business” instead of having the opporunity set aside as just a sideline. We started getting orders from friends and relatives, officemates and classmates and we’re getting close to the expected income so we thought of going to the next level which is to launch an online catalog so customer could browse it and order through us. Our online catalog which is 50% done can be seen at sunnysideup08.multiply.com.. My boss then suggested that I apply for BFAD and get a license…I thought of it too, to get off witht the constraints and really go out to the market and distribute it at large. So I researched and ended up with a handful list of requirements for a license that is completely jargon for me. And so I looked for more info online and I ended up reading your blog. I remember, in one of the seminars, they said that I have to get a mentor if I’m planning to put up a business. I thought of stepping back a bit and put some investment on food franchising first so I could study the food business more. Would anyone help me out on this. For the readers, please do contact me through n.m.astronomo@gmail.com if you have suggestions. They are highly appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. Btw, Im also a tech guy that loves to eat. I started learning to cook when I wanted the freedom from eat-whatever’s-served-on-the-dining-table traditional rule set by our parents. Why food? because we always eat.

Hi Mike,
I am also planning to set up a food cart business in the Philippines though i work abroad. I need to know what are the first step in getting a liscence, how and where to register and eventually set it up as a franchising business.
Thanks

Hi Josephine,
Typically, you’ll need to have someone (a relative or a friend), register the business for you with the ff:
1. Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)
2. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
3. Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)
4. Your local municipality.
Once you’ve done that, all you need to do next is to offer it as a franchise to others. You will however need to be able to supply your franchisees with the cart, logo, ingredients, etc. It will also be great if you can assist them in registering their franchises as well.

Hi Josephine,
I forgot to mention that you’ll also need to get a permit from the Department of Health.

HI Mike,
I am looking at starting a business in the philippines, is the bar & club a good business, Dose it cost much to stat up,
December 27th, 2008 at 1:49 am
Hi,
I’m not really sure about the bar & club business but based on what I’ve observed, bars/clubs are often making good money especially in places where nightlife is active. As for cost to start up one, it might be a bit expensive. You have to consider business permits, the rent of the place, the staff (waiters/waitresses, cooks, janitors, entertainers, bouncers/guards).
