Business opportunities in the community

The needs and wants of the community are considered business opportunities.
 LET’S BE INFORMED

Business will always be here because people need goods and services in order
to survive. There are always business opportunities for people who are resourceful,
creative, and risk takers.
Here are some factors to consider in searching for business opportunities:
1. Location of the business – Is the location of the business near a populated
area?
Make sure that in finding a location
for business you must know first the
people of that place, you must first
ask what the people in that area needs
and make sure there are just few
competitors.

2. Capital – Is there enough money to keep the business going?

The amount of money you need depends upon what you want to sell.

3. Needs of the community – What are the needs of the community? What
products are in demand? Make sure to have a survey about the trends and
demands in the area that you want to put up a business

4. Available resources – How much is your capital?

Do you have the right equipment and facilities to do the job?
Small businesses requires small amount of capital, but knowing if there are
resources just around your location is an advantage. Having resources and your
own equipment with your business in the same area can lessen spending a lot of
money for transportation of products and materials.

5. Target market – Where will you sell your products and who will buy them?
 Finding a market to display and sell your products is a must in the business
world. You must find a place that has people who needs your product in order for
you to sell them. Finding a market is not easy and there will be competitors, just
strive hard and do your goal.

6. Manpower – Are there expert around?

A good entrepreneur knows how to
select his/her own employees that will
work together in achieving the goal
of the business.

7. Skills and Interest – Do you have the skills to handle the business?
Being an Entrepreneur is not a one day success, you must start from the bottom
in order to succeed. In order to become a successful entrepreneur you must
have the skills knowledge and interest in planning, analyzing an building your
own business.

REMINDER!

The process of directly selling goods in small amounts or quantities to

consumers (costumers) is called retail merchandising.

Kinds of retail stores according to the goods

handled
1. Convenience store – Most Filipinos are engaged in the Sari-sari store business
as a means of livelihood.
Asari-sari store or tindahan is a small store that is commonly located within a
house, and usually occupies a small area of the house's facade or garage. It sells
everyday items such as milk, coffee, sugar, rice, cooking oil, soy sauce and
vinegar, soap, shampoo, and detergent. It also sells sweets and other snacks
such as bubble gum, ice candy, crackers, biscuits, and powdered drinks. Most
sari-sari stores are located in residential areas where homeowners or residents
can have easy access to basic goods at low costs. The purpose of the sari-sari
store is to provide basic goods to nearby residents who do not want to go far just
to buy a single unit of a product.

A sari-sari store is part of a process called retail. Retail is the process of selling
goods to distributors or retailers, who then sell their products to end users or
 customers. The operator of a sari-sari store is called a retailer. The goods that
are sold are called merchandise.

There are several goods available for sale in this kind of store, such as rice,
cooking oil, sugar, soap, medicine, and food items. Can you count how many
sari-sari stores there are in your place?

2. Department store - This store sells different kinds of goods distributed in the
different sections of the store. The children's section is where you can buy
clothes and shoes for children; the ladies section is where you can buy all sorts
of things for women, etc. This store is very convenient because you can do your
shopping in one place.

3. Grocery store - A grocery store is a store that retails food items. A grocer, the
owner of a grocery store, stocks different kinds of foods and sells these
 "groceries" to customers. Large grocery stores that stock products other than
food, such as clothing or household items, are called supermarkets. Small
grocery stores that mainly sell fruits and vegetables are known as produce
markets (U.S.) or greengrocers (Britain), and small grocery stores that
predominantly sell snack foods and sandwiches are known as delicatessens.

4. Drug store – This store mainly sells medicines and other health products. It
needs licensed pharmacies and an approval to operate from the Food and Drug
administration (FDA) to operate

5. Bookstore - The main product are books and other reading materials. This type
of store is mostly found in Cities.
 6. Fruit stand – This is a stall where different fruits for sale are displayed. They are
common on markets

7. Hardware stores – This store sells materials that are used in building
construction, such as nails, paints, cement, and many more.

LET’S REMEMBER!
 Buy and sell business provides opportunities for people to earn money. It also helps in
the distribution of goods.
 Capital is the money or resources needed to start a business.
 Retail merchandising is directly selling goods in small amount to costumers.
 Some factors to consider in looking for business opportunities are capital, needs of the

 Goods sold in a store are called merchandise.
 There are different kinds of stores depending upon the merchandise sold.
