Hi Bro,

I need some advised from all big brother/sister here.

Im 36 years old,
Now i thinking want to start a small business, i have some savings around 60k,
The business type need not be earn a big money one, just roughly a few thousand(3 - 5 k) it is enough to sustain my normal family expenses.

Can some brother/sister have some idea, what kind of business is can i consider ? and i have browse to the franchise system, such as Subway,7-eleven, some the F&B , LIKE ITALIAN FOOD.....

many thanks...

Hi,

Frankly speaking, without prior experience & business planning, my humble opinion is to continue finding what you truly like. Leverage on other's operations isn't bad but it boils down to sustainability; internal & external factors.

Do note whether there is a contingency fund in place.

My opinion is not to start anything till you find something passionate before progressing.

Cheers,
D.M

Business Ideas

Are you hiring someone to run or you run the business personally?
S$60K budget for F&B franchise I think can forget it.

Your chances of making a good profit with a self run hawker stall is higher.
Best part is only Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident is eligible to apply.

Try to do service based business rather than inventory based business.
Speaking from personal experience. :)

Easier to do it if you are freelancer with specialized skill, like website design etc.

If not throw more money to set up grocery shop.
