Top Franchises In The Philippines You Can Get From P30,000 And Up

With brand recall already in place, a proven formula for success, and a relatively lower failure rate, franchises are a good way for people to learn the ropes of becoming an entrepreneur.

While some big brands can cost you an arm and a leg, you can still buy the franchise of some up-and-coming names that show great potential before they become superstars.

We reached out to the Philippine Franchise Association (PFA) and picked the best ones under seven digits. By securing your investment capital with a personal loan, you can easily get your own store from P30,000 and up.

Master Siomai

Master Siomai’s products may not be as mind-blowing as the xiao long bao offered by fancy Michelin-star restaurants, but we can all take comfort in the fact that their Japanese siomai is still the bomb. And did we mention the prices have remained the same for a good decade now?
