China and the Philippines Franchise Opportunities

New year, new opportunities. Given the current warming relationship between China and the Philippines, it will come to no surprise that trade relations between the two countries will grow even more in the coming years. As visa restrictions eases between the two nations, opportunities are abound for those who are quick enough to seize it.

During my recent trip to China, I was given the opportunity to explore some areas of the country. There really is a huge potential for Filipino brands to do extremely well in the Chinese market, as well as some Chinese brands that can be imported to the Philippines. With the country's pivot to Asia, our status as a member of ASEAN will come more into play as regional integration picks up steam. Many business opportunities will present itself in the coming days, weeks, months and years ahead. So if you are thinking of starting your own business, better start making plans. Truly, its an exciting time to be an entrepreneur.
