Meeting the Challenge

Tired of sitting down, doing nothing while waiting for the economic storm to end? Time to make a move .


Try franchising. Risky? As the saying goes, no pain, go gain, no guts , no glory. Everthing we do has a risk of failing.


Well,for me, I am just raising enough capital to be able to put up a business of my own. I am planning to franchise in a food outlet. Food is the number one commodity in the whole world. So with the right location and target market plus hardwork and perseverance, failing in a food business is a definite no no.


To be able to reduce the risk, I have tried browsing thru the Association of Filipino Franchisers Inc.


This is an excerpt from the site about the Organization.





(http://www.afffi.com.ph/)





The Association of Filipino Franchisers Inc is a non-stock, non-profit national organization of Filipino entrepreneurs and businessmen, duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It was formed in 1997 by a pioneering group of men and women who recognized the potential for business expansion through franchising. This same group likewise identified the local franchising industry's need for a governing body that would police its ranks, safeguard its interests and promote its causes. Thus, AFFI was born.
Today, the organization has evolved into a venue wherein all interested entrepreneurs, franchisers as well as non-franchisers, can network with colleagues to share best practices and trade trends for their mutual advancement.
So whether you are a franchiser, a franchisee or an entrepreneur aspiring to expand your venture, AFFI and its website has lots in store for you. Browse through our site to learn more about AFFI and joining us can help you!





Here is my top franchise choice.



Chicharific by Lapid's

"Chicharific" by: LAPID'S" food carts are known for their delicious crunchy chicharon and imported-quality products. Founded by sisters Erlinda "Lapid" Dioquino and Estrelita "Lapid" Montanido in 1997 (It was their father who started and popularized the name "Lapid's" as the leading manufacturer and retailer of chicharon in 1977), "Chicharific" products use only the finest raw materials and cooking procedures. Several outlets in various Metro Manila locations provide customers with quality products at very reasonable prices, efficient customer service, and well-trained personnel. Aside from regular chicharon varieties such as "Chicharon May Laman" and "Cocktail Chicharon", Crispy Pata (crispy pig's thigh) and Crispy Ulo (crispy pig's head) are also available.
