How much Philippine Pesos do I need on putting up a small internet cafe in the Philippines?

Question

Let's just say I'll start on a small nice internet cafe with 10 units.
Please share your ideas about it especially to those who own one. Salamat po.

Answer 1

for building rental = 5 to 10 thousand pesos

Building renovation plus aircon = 20 to 50 thousand pesos

computers = 10,000 x 10 = 100,000 pesos ( for second hand units)

= 20,000 x 10 = 200,000 pesos ( for brand new units)

labors/worker :

a. Cashier = 3 to 5 thousand a month

b. Technician = 6,000 to 8,000 a month



miscellaneous = 20 to 50 thousand pesos

Answer 2

Internet Cafe Setup Cost

Answer 3

Why would you?

Every city in the Philippines has more then they need

There are 7 within a 4 block radius of my house

Answer 4

P500,000.00. You have to consider the pre-operating expenses like: the place to be refurbished and repainted, you don't have to place all your computer units on the floor so you need tables/racks, chairs. You need at least 1 airconditioning unit, glass windows and doors. The electrical system and various cable connections must be safely situated. The provision of a rest room is a must if it is not available in the vicinity. Advance rental costs should also be considered.

And at least a 3 months working capital is needed during early operations.

Answer 5

It depends on the units that you will buy, whether midrange quality or high end, and also the location of your internet cafe. You can actually get from Smart Bro or MY DSL (PLDT). Smart Bro has these terms-1 pc. wireless connection DP2,600 + 2,600x12months; MY DSL I think would cost you about 250K-350K. If you're near schools or offfices, your rent may take you 15K-20K, it depends. My brother used to work with an internet cafe, they had an average of 20K expenses per month and the location is not that near to any schools or offices.

Answer 6

"Piso" is the Filipino word for "peso". And yes, it's a currency in the Philippines.

Answer 7

A friend of mine has an internet cafe and she started it with 3 units. It amounts to 70,000pesos only for she bought second hand computers.

Answer 8

Where will you be starting the cafe?

New or old computers?

I have a friend who refurbishes computers and can help you set them up. I don't know how much he charges but I do think his price will be reasonable. He lives in Paranaque City.

E-mail me with details and I will contact him.

Answer 9

i think with the connection it costs 999 pesos...i don't know how the computers cost...maybe you can get a help on pldt dsl...like on the commercial...good luck=)

Answer 10

about a hundred fifty thousand if the units arent brand new, for brand new computers it's P35,000.oo per unit

Answer 11

hmmm... 500k will do. 10 pc with athlon processors, brand new chairs, tables, cabling, router, hub, fees (mayor's permit, bir, phoneline, internet charges, meralco), printers, aircon, accessories, (cd, dvd, cases, papers, etc.) 500 k will gor for roughly 6 mos.
