Do you have any photos or informations of the sotong junk food ? I may interest to buy from you and resell it with my own idea. Provided nice product and nice price.

I do have contact with virtual office and service office as last times I was headache to find office space to rent, after research to all of them, now I'm able to know the basic pro and con of each different office space provider.

Maybe you can state what is your prefer location, rental budget and any requirement ? I try to come out some idea for you.

For your case (SOHO), I will think virtual office or serviced office is the best choice. Both Virtual office and Serviced office can help you in Sdn Bhd registration as both of them can provide you office address.

Based on your case, if you choose subang jaya or mutiara damansara area, in there only have normal office space, which mean you have to renovate your office and buy office furniture yourself. However, I will suggest you to take KL bukit bintang area virtual office or serviced office. The reason is cheapest and perfect location. And you do not need to renovate the office or buy office furniture. I try to give you some clear picture of what is virtual office and serviced office to clear your confusing.

Virtual office
1. You do not have "real office space" but you will have your office address. For example, you become tenant of ABC company (virtual & service office provider). Then you can rent their office address.
2. As mentioned, you do not have "real office" but you can enjoy their office business lounge. All the virtual office tenant can meet their client in the business lounge.
3. You have your own telephone line. For example : 03-2116XXXX. Any client call to this office number, the line will convert to your handphone.
4. If any letter post to the address, the customer service girl will help you keep it and inform you. Therefore, you can always go there collect your letter while meet client in business lounge. Or you can go to collect your letter when you got pass by there.
5. Free refreshment at 3.30pm in business lounge.
6. Free unlimited water, coffee and tea.

Rental around RM 60 - RM 100 per month. Depend on the package you want.

Serviced office (All these are included in the rental)
1. Own office with your own key include few tables, chairs, cupboard. The amount of furniture is depend on your office size.

13. Free fax line 03-2116xxxxx only (charge if you fax somethings)
14. LAN & Wireless
15. Free receptionist for your client phone call before pass to your office phone
16. Security guard

All is include in the rental per month

Mind to share what business you are plan to started ? A photo shooting studio ?

Oh I see, just to know, your customers is walk in customer, or you already have your own fixed customer based ?

If walk in customer, I think shoplot will be better for you ?

If you have own fixed customer based, then you can based your business in any hidden or not crowd area with cheaper rental, provided transport is convenient.

Yes, sorry for me to overlook "your RM1K is include material expenses".

However, usually we didn't calculate the material expenses as fix cost, but we calculate it as variable cost, as the material expenses is based on sales volume and not fix per month.

1. Marketing
- How you create awareness to your target customer ?

2. Reputation
- Usually the items are important documents, how they can trust you ?

Generally, the above statements is the most important issue you should look into.

Nice story sharing, to open up our mind. I believe most of us will choose to become the youngest son.

However, it is not neccesary the youngest son will be successful. Sometimes, culture is the vital issue as human culture is hardly to change. In real life, some big companies implement globalization or market segmentation having difficulty and failed, just because they didn't study the target customers' culture.
