If you’re already selling products in stores, why not make it available online? Or if kulang pa sa puhunan para magtayo ng tindahan, why don’t you start with an online store? Gamitin ang mga online platform tulad ng Shopee, Lazada, o Facebook Marketplace para mas mapadali ang pag-aadvertise.

- Technology Support Services
Or maybe your skills are more IT-related. Maraming negosyo ang nangangailangan ng tulong para sa kanilang IT infrastructure. Providing tech support services or teaching basic tech knowledge would be a good business to venture in 2024 to service tech-savvy entrepreneurs. You can even expand this to provide in-demand tech hardware products and equipment.
On a related note, most schools are still doing hybrid setups. Kaya ang mga negosyo na nag-aalok ng educational technology solutions, tulad ng online tutorials, e-learning platforms or even an online school, ay may malaking potensyal na kitain sa 2024.

As we still recover from the pandemic, health and wellness are still priorities for consumers. Mula sa organic na pagkain hanggang sa mga herbal na produkto, maraming tao ang naghahanap ng mga alternatibong paraan para mapanatili ang kanilang kalusugan.

Demand for wellness doesn’t stop with personal health. Patok din ang pangangalaga ng kalikasan at kapaligiran. Ang negosyo na nag-aalok ng eco-friendly products, tulad ng reusable items or organic materials, ay maaaring magtagumpay sa pagtugon sa pangangailangan ng mga eco-conscious na mamimili.
You can start with reselling eco-friendly products you find abroad or mga local producers na wala pang established presence. Or, if you have a current business, offer a fresh set of your products and services that are eco-friendly to cater to that growing demand.
- Tourism and Travel Services
Revenge travel is still on. With the rise of tourism in the country, you can put up travel-related businesses like tour guiding, travel agency, or accommodation services.
You could start with curated travel itineraries online and start offering those services to potential travelers. If you’re ready for something big, invest in putting up your own tour agency or even in a property that you can turn into an Airbnb in popular tourist destinations.
As an archipelago that has rich agricultural potential, the Philippines will always be a good location for agribusiness ventures. Starting your own farm or providing connected services to the agri sector (like agritech, delivery, and online services) are expected to be smart moves in 2024.
Ayon sa Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the country’s total agricultural export reached USD 6.5 billion last year, showing a strong demand for our agriproducts. Hindi na lamang din limitado sa tradisyunal na pagsasaka ang agribusiness. Pwedeng mag-invest sa iba’t ibang kaugnay na negosyo tulad ng food processing, agri-tourism, at value-adding enterprises.
Pero siyempre, sa bawat negosyong itatayo, kailangan ng matinong paghahanda at pagpaplano. Let’s talk about how we can make a smart move for additional capital needs for your next venture this 2024!
