For me starting a business is quite risky most especially here in the philippines. But yeah you can always choose whatever business you want to put up but beware on choosing business that is not that not common and has less capital and is in deman in a particular area. We cant just choose one and go for it without having research what investment you are going to be with your money. Sari-sari stores in my area turn into like sira-sira store because there are a lot of them with same goods they sell so that what they have.
