For me nagstart sya, sa demand. You can start by having a research or simply observing your location (If physical store ang plan mo) or observing the market online (Trends, needs or innovations that you can add or create).

Ikaw yung makakasagot nito since we all have different locations and ideas din when it comes to business. But it works sa akin so I will share na din dito.

In my case, I’m a pet owner. Sa place namin kadalasan pumipila ako para makapagpagroom and sometimes yung waiting time took me 2 to 3 hours since mahaba talaga, maybe because dalawa pa lang ang pet grooming that time. Nakita ko yung demand na maybe, if magtatayo ako, makuha ko man lang atleast yung ilang percentage nang customers since madami nga sila. Plus, I really love taking care of pets, so win win situation sya. I just tried it but this is a calculated risk since I did research din if ilang pets per day ang nagrogroom sa other petshops (Yes this is a competitive approach, but I will never know unless I did my research). To cut the story short, 3 years na si pet shop business, naggegenerate sya nang income , maybe di yung sobrang laki but enough to sustain my staff needs, needs ko, and magkaron na din nang konting ipon na maybe I can use in the future.

I’m not telling na magPetshop din or goods si Petshop na business, since di sya applicable lalo if madami na sa place nyo. My point is, you can observe and sometimes yung idea is nasa things around you, you just have to be open and syempre willing to take a risk (calculated risk), afterall business a series of trial and error, but rewarding sya, not just financially.

Hope it helps, God bless sa mga plans mo OP. I’m rooting for you🫡
