MSME Hub:
A Guide for Filipino Entrepreneurs
In developing a business idea, you need workable technical information to prepare and operate a good business plan for your business. Once you’ve registered your business, written a business plan, and started selling, you still need adequate technical information about the reality of how to operate a business. The different types of technical information you need in your business operation may include logistics and record-keeping. It may also be a technology choice or advice on location and premises.
Starting points:
-
- Assess your logistics to find area that could be more streamlined
- Select a system for record-keeping
- Decide if you will be a non-employer (you are the only employee) or if you will need to hire staff
