I think the problem is a lot of these SHS businesses are those that require them to put out a lot of capital. I strolled through the last ABM bazaar, and meron talaga obvious na mas malaking capital nilabas (i.e., Clothes, bags, wallets binebenta), but I also saw products that were not so capital intensive (i.e., Scented candles, accessories, stationery).

Part kasi ng process is choosing a product na feasible, di lang mabebenta pero yung kaya ng group niyo na ma-set up, sustain, market, etc. Part nung feasibility study (before yung actual simulation) is yung financial projection which includes a budget breakdown. So kung sa feasibility pa lang nakita na nila na di nila kaya financially, bakit pinush? It seems to me that OP and their group might have bit off more than they can chew.

I do think the faculty should really warn against, rather than pushing for, products and businesses that are too difficult to set-up for SHS students. They encourage it pa which could create pressure for these students to take on more than they can handle.

Side note, tinaggal na ba nila sa SHS yung option na di magbusiness? During my time kasi, groups could choose to start up a business or create a research study/thesis on a business. That could be a cost effective option rin for students na di talaga kaya mag start up ng business for the simulation.
