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.

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.
