Siomai House franchise fees, as published
The Siomai House franchise fee is Php 50,000 and the capital investment is Php 350,000, as listed in the Philippine Franchise Association directory. The listing names Bernabest Food Products, Inc. as the franchisor. It does not show a term or renewal fee, so ask for both, and for what the investment covers, before you sign.[1]
Reading the two Siomai House figures
The listing separates a Php 50,000 franchise fee from a Php 350,000 capital investment. It does not say whether the fee is part of the investment or on top of it. The difference changes your total puhunan, so ask the franchisor to state it plainly.[1]
The PFA page shows no date for the listing, so ask the franchisor whether the figures are current. Recent does not mean fixed: prices for carts and stock can change, so treat the listing as a starting point.[1]
Who you deal with
Bernabest Food Products, Inc. is named as the franchisor on the PFA listing. Deal with the company directly through its own channels or the PFA directory. Be careful with agents on social media selling "franchise slots" at a discount.[1]
Ask the company for a list of current franchisees you can visit, and visit one on a weekday and a weekend. Seeing a working cart tells you more about staffing and supply than any brochure.
Setting up the stall
Cart or in-line stall, the permits are in your name: barangay clearance, mayor's permit, BIR registration, a sanitary permit and health certificates. See the food cart business kit for the order of steps, and food cart franchises for other brands.
