A good friend of mine who is currently working in Singapore was requesting if I could post in what are the best franchise/business opportunities in the Philippines. She was saving some money and she wanted to invest on franchising in our country. With this I checked my collection of Entrepreneur Philippines and saw a comprehensive list of the top franchise in Pinas.

According to EntrepreneurPH, recognition is given to Filipino owned franchises that have carved a significant niche and have become leaders in their respective industry sector due to their mastery of the market. This earned raninking based on integrity of their franchise system and on how effectively it was replicated in all their franchised units. The best homegrown franchises all have proven financial and franchise system track records and have also been able to establish a foothold in foreing markets.
Please take note that listed here are franchises that have low cost. I will be posting top "medium cost" franchising later on the blog. I highly recommend that you try to visit EntrepreneurPH website. There are many interesting business articles on the site. The Entrepreneur Philippines magazine is a treasure trove of information for those who wish to have their own business (yes free from the chains of the corporate world, financial freedom! :)). I highly recommend this magazine.
