Are you buy the business over from another owner or you start it from zero?
What are the most challenge thing that you've faced so far?
What do you do if the customer claimed that your worker spoil your car?

Appreciate if you could share more about this business.
Thanks.

Cold contact. Visit some distributor and promote your products to them. Beg them to distribute for you. Give them good profit since they are helping you out to test your products to the market. smile.gif

Or just get a few fridge, setup in some cafe/kopitiam to sell your products. Profit sharing with cafe owners. Just like what coca cola did with kopitiam. Free fridge, but selling coca cola.  biggrin.gif

You will give the  seller a Consignment Note whereby they will confirm the number of items received from you. Then when you collect back the items after a period, they pay you for the difference. simple.

what kinda products you doing?
Nakornthong Shampoo and Charcoal Bar Soap.
I think most of the people looking natural products recently and planning start my biz from here and grow up to others slowly.

Any advice?

I have an idea to get some vending washing machines, rent a small space shop and place the machines there.

The machine price is not really pricy but maybe the rental, and utilities is a high cost to this business.

Any advice on this? Please give me some guidelines or your thoughts on this business. Thx

Thanks for the info, but they've approached me already. But I haven't have the time to compare their pricing with Doorstep yet. I'm a bit comfy with them at the moment, I've tried Virgrocery before but they're not that good. If Redtick is cheaper, I'd probably use them as a basis to further push for discount from whoever I'm currently using.

Quite a number of people doing online groceries business these days. Few years back, it's quite difficult to find any. It's quiet a good business once you get steady customers but a lot of them failed in their inventory management; deliver late, no stocks, old stocks etc.
Generally for student market I'd say, quite common overseas but hardly see any over here. In terms of washing results & pricing, how much different is this method from the laundry shops?

One issue about vending washing machines are, your "uncivilized" customers will dump practically anything that they wanna wash into your machines (I heard even muddy shoes too). So the maintenance, wear & tear will be much higher than the usual washing machine.
*
will check in details about the maintenance cost. Thx!

A good example of this self serviced washing machines is at upm. Just outside upm, there is one shop which use this method. You can have a look there, see the tear and wear of the machines, and sat there for a couple of days to see the student response. Do survey first in order to get a rough idea whether is it good to place a self serviced washing machines and how's the customer feedback on this sort of business model.

thx for the advice, will check it out as well tongue.gif

Friend,

Ofcoz if i rent an office i will make full use of it la...

Wat for rent an office to store my items???

If we got an office,

1.we can hire ppl to do packing and listing for us on our existing platform. While we expand on a supermarket platform.

2.We can provide services to the public if they have anything that they wanted to sell online... unwated gifts and etc... something like cash converters only we do the listing and they determine the selling price, we can charge customers by commisien basis.

3.We can also provide online services eg, online airline tickets, paying of utility bills, provide photocopy services, book binding services and

4.we can also become supplier to the items we are selling online. If we are able to sell items online means that we are able to get cheaper stuff on the items we sell online....we can become a supplier for students and etc whom wish to start an online business but got nothing to sell....

These are some of my idea.... anyone here wanted to start a company based on the above direction, do PM me..... we are easy going and friendly...

Am based in PJ and looking for an office space and partner to start business with... anyone here got an empty office space with high speed internet and intrested to put the space into good use for FREE.... do PM

I have a few PM already but still can't see something solid at the moment....

About new idea.... share here la... else wat for you keep your new idea.... share it and see if anyone here intrested or not or got any opinion...

Thank you

i like your ideas! too bad that i'm not available for it right now...

Wah liao....

I see your post i can guess you are new in business lor....

you are looking from an existing runing business point of view....cannot....

U must 1st think startup.....

my advise....see it in this manner.....

rental 2k... 1st floor thingy... ground floor at least 4k above
deposit 2+1 month.... 6k
worker ... urself alone proffit to salary
racking and shelves and little banners....5k
stock.... 5k plus 30 days term...

initial capital is only 18k only ma....

As you make proffit and enough to hire worker.... you can start to employ 1 worker... and start from there.....

Unless you have experience in a particular business.... u pump in 5 workers... u need to learn to manage them correctly... no point putting 5 people in a box and let them do monkey work for you....

Their salary is enough to kill you on a monthly basis...and belive me 1 month is very fast....

As the boss.... by 15 you need to prepare the money for salary liao on the 1st if u want to be a good boss...

prepared the cash by 25 and pay on the 3-4 on the begining of the month....

i think universal boss also same... after paying salary you can relax a bit while your worker work and make money for you...

in short... ur work now is to manage your staff and pay them salary while they do the technical and make money for you....

but as a start no need pump 5 workers la.... unless you really need them....

As for computer business or any other business with 5 workers... i think turn over 100k is small amount...

Say margin 15-20% .... 100k only only makes 15-20k a month... minus rental salary and etc... u get around 8-10k lor...

this is not bad liao..... the worst case is you cannot achive target of 100k a month and by 25 of the month you need to fork out your own pocket money to pay them.... and sitting there thinking how to get business....i can assure you... you cant even sleep at nights ....

this is the true business world.....unless you are used to it... then you might want to get a secure job with a fixed secure income...

just sharing...

Thx for the sharing.
There is nothing easy especially at starting point.
However, we can mitigate the risk by planning.
Good luck to all entrepreneurs smile.gif

many legal business out there... you need to research yourself.
bear in mind that every business will need time to break even, then u can achieve your target. I think RM2000 is not difficult just depends on your network and commitment on the business.

After got terminated from working + bad life experienced...some friends started to ask phones etc..and i tried selling online
it was well very demanding...

For phone condition.roughly there is only few things to check about from ur rough eye point of view,inside whether tempered or not i dont knwo..but its all about risk..basically what i will check it

-Be able to make calls
-Connection no problem
-Internet service is ok
-Keypad
-Sound button
-Water damaged

Usualy if got problem then sure can bargain more,send it too technician fren help to repair cheaper then shop, can make both side earn mroe
