For me, you go for business that you yourself is really pond of.

Like me, I'm reselling ladies clothes and accessories, started on line and now joining bazaars and flea markets, looking to have my own shop in the future.

Quite difficult but I find it very fullfilling not only because you earn but also you meet a lot of people and in the end make friends. But of course earnings is still priority.

You may check Adam khoo website and I think it will help how to start up.

I can say I'm a customer oriented person. Your point of view i like most. Earnings is still priority difficult it may be yet fulfilling because meet a lot of people, customers satisfaction and in the end make friends.

you can easily set up your own registered company from online
www.bizfile.gov.sg

it's very easy and simple steps to follow.
no point paying the agent to do such task

re-branding the products to your own brand is dependable how the contract or working relationship with your supplier. Usually it's no issue to have your own branding but there might be minimum order to do so.

as long as your company didn't have a clause that specifically said you can't own any business under your name while working with them, you can do so. it's better to check your company policy first.

i hope this little info help

Hey, i think the fund you set aside for a start is sufficient, do a bit of calculation and start small. Do product launch. Short term lease to try. Start with small min Qty 1st , dont care about MOQ, sometimes design n quality count. Check on consume needs n interest. Pay a bit more for the 1st few batch of goods to start 1st, dont jjump ight into lease till yu have 80% confident. Cut loss is the best advice i can say... take low risk n dont be greedy. Is never too late. All the Best

I have been online selling for 2years, partly to perfect my skills and partly to understand consumer needs.

To use $50K to setup business is totally possible.
Last year, I assist my friend to setup her gown/ROM shop in far east, her renovation is $15K, and stocks added up to $10K. Rental is around $3K. She also pay about $1K on logo design (for branding for her 2 trades) and another $2K for website building.

Since success from online biz for myself, I have decided to setup a shop in Marina Square. For branded malls, the real killer in renovation is the submission to respective regulatory and their demand in design. This portion was a surprise for us and overshoot out reno target by $5K. Some adjustment had to be made, including using Ikea fixture instead of custom made for simple design to save cost to control within target. Setting up shop on our own is not easy, you have to prepare the stress during the initial period.

For reading materials on registering biz, try this link :
http://www.business.gov.sg/EN/Starti...pe_company.htm


Try to do some market study on your product before venturing. I work for 10+years, and finally reached department head level. Many people could not understand why I give up a comfy 5days, on the dot job with no stress. But I know I can create a better future if I succeed, and if I did not, I still have this market that I can return to since my profile is good.

Good luck to you, in advance. Take calculated risk, not blindly fall in. Remember, luck is where opportunity meets preparation.

If this 50k is excess cash....i.e. you have some savings stashed up...then ok ..maybe you can dream a little...else it may just be easier to work for people...
if you think working for others is stressful, wait till you have to worry about paying your staff and paying rent....

it is never easy to sell goods...you must be able to convert your goods to cash...what happens if your goods are stuck?

shoes...there are designs, then there are sizes and colours.....how much of each are you going to have..if you don't have enough designs, you can never compete with the big boys...if you have many many designs, you will be limited by the number of sizes/colours you can have....given you have limited start-up capital....

you will need to have a strategy if you really wanna go into biz....if you r targeting the mass market...you can never do it with just your 50k......what will be your unique selling point? why would people pay for your goods/services and not others? just something for you to ponder....

straight to the point, I like your comment
