29 EVALUATION SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Top 5 things to consider when putting up an Internet caf 1. Capital- Planning is very important. The risks are high when going for this kind of business so you should only allot the right amount of money needed. Be sure you wont be touching any of your family savings. Also, spare some money for your future expenses, just to be safe. 2. Study your niche/market- See to it that there is a great demand for an Internet caf in your area. Obviously, the urbanized areas are the ones you would target, or as long as the place is busy with people and they will have a need for the services youre offering. 3. Location- If your area is situated near a school then that would be a big plus. Just observe the law regarding how many meters away, your Internet caf should be, from any schools or colleges. Some are not following it but the law is the law. Commercial zones within residential areas are also advisable.
If you would only provide Internet services such as web surfing, chatting, etc., then you could go for the low-end or the average specifications for your computers. The Internet doesnt demand much from your hardware. Just apply for a relatively fast Internet connection (DSL, Broadband, Cable) with a high bandwidth. Then install operating systems and other programs needed. Headsets with microphones are often used when chatting. 30
If you would consider adding gaming then the best specs, as much as possible or whichever the games require, should be your priority. There are the offline and online games which require Internet connection. Your clients, especially the gamers, are very demanding when it comes to the speed and reliability of both your PCs and Internet connection. You would often hear complaints about logging, hanging, or slow Internet connection. So make sure that your clients are satisfied to avoid all of those. Buy the best performance PCs and avail a faster Internet connection. There are other services that you may offer your customers. You could do printing (b&w or colored), typing services, CD/DVD burning, some even have fax machines or photocopiers.
5. Pricing and Promotions- Know how much youll charge for your services. Studying the market will play a great role here. If the price is right then people will avail of your services. Some owners often use pricing as a tool to have an edge over other competitors
31 Recommendations When starting a new business, there are many important decisions to make and many rules and procedures that must be addressed. The number of task you need to complete and the information you need to track down before you begin a business. The followings are: I. Basic needs to open a new business Where to open your business- Deciding where to open and when to open your new business is often one of the most difficult decisions a business owner faces. These decisions may also be the most important ones because the ultimate success of the business can hinge on where its located and when its opened. To work through these decisions, choose one of the following: 1. Choosing whether to lease space or from home. 2. Choosing the best geographic location for your business.
32 o Marketing your product or services- How you will market your product depends on your budget. Here are some suggestions: 1. Distribute fliers announcing your business. 2. Put a business sign. 3. Create several promotional gimmicks. o Getting licenses and permits- Before your business start to operate all the necessary legal requirements must be complied, to avoid problem in the near future. o Hiring employees- This is very important, hire people, who is trustworthy and have knowledge at your business, consider relatives and those recommended by friends.
33 II. Starting a new business Ownership Responsibilities- Probably the two most common reasons that a business doesnt succeed are that 1) the business is poorly managed because the owner lacks the necessary skills and 2) the owner underestimates how much money it will take to start the business.

You may be the boss of other people. D. Youll have job securityno one can fire you.
35 IV. Minimizing risk for my business o Hiring family members- A family member will more willing to step into your shoes when needed. For example, if you get tied up doing something, a family member usually makes a reliable fill-in. o Franchising- A good way to reduce your risk of failure is to purchase a franchise because franchises typically have a higher success rate than other types of small business. o Know when to cut your losses- If you dont decide the financial commitment to your new business in advance, you may regret it in the future. o Financing assessment- Finding the money to start a new business is almost always one of the most difficult hurdles
