Joining from the Philippines, this account represents FranchiseNegosyo at franchisenegosyo.com, a free directory of Philippine franchises that sets out the money side of each brand in one consistent format so a would-be franchisee can weigh offers without collecting brochures or sitting through sales calls.

Every brand page lists the franchise fee, the total investment range, the royalty and the payback period in the same order, which makes it easy to put two concepts side by side and see where the real differences sit. The full list of Philippine franchises can be filtered by budget, industry, format and city, running from small food carts under 100,000 pesos up to full stores, and the site also carries practical guides such as how to compare two Philippine franchise offers before signing anything.

For anyone who thinks in terms of location and competition, the Negosyo Map shows where brands and their competitors already trade, and SagotFN answers questions using the details on a brand's own page, while a free request for a franchise advisor can be sent from any listing.

The people it helps most are first-time franchisees in the Philippines and Filipinos working abroad, including many here in the UK, who are planning a business back home and want a clearer picture before money changes hands. Members with questions about franchising as a startup route in Southeast Asia are welcome to ask in the replies.

Hello Romeo and Mabuhay! 😅 Happy to see a kababayan here at the forum!

I like the idea of putting franchise costs side by side. Back home, there's a lot to consider before investing in a franchise, especially if it's your first business.

Haha, my wife's dream is actually to franchise a Potato Corner someday! 😂 So this is definitely something that caught my attention
