Starting up / Owning a Business in Australia. Any experiences/inputs/success stories?

IslanderndCityIslanderndCity AdelaidePosts: 2,274Member, Moderator
Moving to Australia as PRs or employer sponsored
doesn't always mean we will be working as employees until age 60~65.
Few of us might have the burning passion
to be the boss of our own at a younger/stronger age 39~...
Any experiences/inputs/success stories so far?

Assessed Occupation: Industrial Engineer (IE 233511)
Achieved Goal: Australia PR (Permanent Resident). Thanks God!

...sharpening my core gifts now...
...working on new, better goals...

    @heyits7me_mags basta pag nasa Au na tayo let's keep in touch para kung sakali mang nasa isang lugar lang tayo e pwedeng ma-refer natin ang magiging clients natin sa isa't isa kung may service silang kailangan na kaya nyong i-provide.

    actually balak kong pag-aralin ng hair cutting si misis para sya na lang ang gugupit sa akin sa Au.haha! mahal daw haircut dun e. iniisip ko pa kung sa pinas ko sya pag-aralin o sa Au na lang kasi malaki din daw ang discount sa school pag PR ka na.parang mas OK pa nga pag sa Au na sya mag-aral para kung gawin din nyang negosyo, may maipapakita syang certificate.

    tingin ko maganda din tong negosyo para sa ating lahat.

    Malakas competition sa mga chinese business/laborer.

    Cheapest I can find is $6 haircut.
    http://yzzymae.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/boy-kuripot-tip-of-day-cheap-haircut_27.html

    Pag pinoy, nasa $25+

    In terms of quality of service, mas ok pa rin sa pinoy.

    Kung medyo maselan ka sa buhok mo at gusto mo may style - dun ka sa medyo mahal or hanap ka ng pinoy par ama xplain mo yung gusto mong gupit.

    Pero kung simpleng haircut lang or razor lang ang gamit, dun ako pumupunta sa mga chinese salon. Sign language lang ayos na buhok mo hehehe..... or dala ka ng selfie mo at ipakita mo.

    Sa umpisa medyo maninibago ka sa quality of service pero pag na compare mo naman ang price eh pwede na at kung simpleng gupit lang.

    Totally agree with all your comments, but totoo very competitive nga ang beauty industry dito. Wow hindi pa ako nakakapagpagupit ng $6, cheapest I had was $10 so far.. daming options, photography which is in na in now, beauty salon, event's coordination.. how about sa health and welness, what do you guys think?

    Cheers,

    photography parang masyado na sumikat. Halos lahat yta nakakabili or meron na ng DSLR.

    Mahirap lang mag picture ngsarili hahaha....

    Maraming mga asian/chinese mostly into remdial massage. KAdalasan nakikita ko parang mga student. Madalas kasi may ari ng mga health massage are chinese.

    Maganda business ang health massage kasi kasama sa cover ng extra ng Private health insurance and Remedial massage> Either used your entitlement or loose it.

    Hindi ako mahilig sa mga massage pero napipilitan ako minsan claim kasi sayang since partly covered ng private health insurance.

    with this idea, do you think kailangan pa ng 'physical' office mo? or as long as your biz is legally registered and ikaw na bahala sa marketing strategy mo, ok na? ;)

    Madali lang naman kumuha ng ABN number. Sa work ko ngayon (strata management) marami kaming kinukuha na mga cleaners na kanya-kanyang business lang talaga. Tipong kokontrata sila ng iilang mga properties na lilinisin nila, sila bahala sa schedule. Malaki rin ang kinikita nila, per fortnight or weekly ang schedule tapos nasa 200-300+ per service ang charge nila depende sa laki ng lugar. Sabihin na nating mga 8-12 properties ang kunin nila kung full-time nilang gawin yan... Di na rin masama yung kinikita nila, hawak pa nila yung oras nila.

    normally what's the scope sa i-clean po nila? then is it a must na mayroon din sila 'physical' na office?

    @IslanderndCity Nope, no need for a physical office, in fact many of them register their home address as their business address kapag kumukuha ng ABN. Tapos diretso sa bank account nila ang payment. Scope of work includes weekly or fortnightly cleaning ng common property - sweeping/mopping of floors, pag-rake ng leaves, pag-trim ng hedges, punas-punas ng onti. Tapos may additional cost kapag ilalabas yung rubbish bins at lilinisin after collection, usually weekly yan. Cost ng cleaner ang materials and chemicals. Depende sa size eh, we have blocks of 2 upto mga 30+ units.

    Ideas: cakes and pastries / bread

    Benta ka ng mga home made cakes / pastries / bread

    Katulad nito : Puto-Lecheeee!

    Sa umpisa luge.... puro patikim / sample (mahilig mga pinoy sa - SAMPLE/patikim/ ober tawad) hehehe... Kung makakuha ka ng mga customer na non-asian (hindi masyado tumatawad).

    Hindi rin naman natin masisisi kasi ma i-cocompare mo ang price sa Pinas at sa Australia eh malaki ang differrnce (nangyayari din naman sakin yung mag compare ng presyo).

    Then.... pag may nagkagusto at umorder --- medyo mahirap mag presyo... medyo mahihiya ka mag presyo... kasi naintindihan ko rin namn na hindi mo maaalis na icompare presyo sa pinas.

    - so mahihiya ka, presyunahn mo ng mababa maibalik lang yung gastos sa ingridients/materials (luge ulit)

    Ok lang, sa umpisa masaya kasi na enjoy mo mag bake (you learn / tpos maganda feedback / masarap luto etc....) at may umoorder kahit paminsan minsan....


    Pero eventually, mapapansin mo nakkapagod pala.. pupuyat ka para matapos.. ilang oras spend mo... pwede ma apektuhan pamilya mo pag puyat ka ng puyat (cranky / mainit ulo / tinatamad kumilos hehehe...)

    So... maisip mo na taasan ng konti nag presyo kahit papano ma compensate kahit papano yung part ng oras na na spend mo..... mag mukhang mahal naman yung presyo.

    Alam naman natin na syempre gusto natin makabili ng mura para makatipid.

    Minsan, gusto mo na lang i refer na bumili sa bakery or sa coles/woolsworth ng mga instant na cupcakes/cakes/bread para mas mura :-)
