Patok na negosyo ideas
Ideas grouped by what they cost to start, using only published figures, each linked to the permits it needs.
Start from what you already have: a house, a laptop, land, a skill or a budget. Each idea page below lists business types with the number of extra permits each needs and the agencies that issue them, then links to a kit with the full list. The franchise pages show only the starting figures brands publish, with the source and date.

How we choose what goes here
"Patok" on this site is a list sorted by permits, not a popularity or profit ranking. We do not publish earnings, profit or payback figures, and we do not estimate startup costs for non-franchise businesses, because they depend on your location and equipment.
