Are
you planning to venture into drugstore business? I found some tips and guides
on forums that might help you decide. Read on.
“Magandang umaga po sa lahat ng kapwa ko
entrepinoy. May konti po akong ibabahagi sa inyo regarding drugstore business
para mapag aralan po ninyo ang ganitong uri ng negosyo. Ito po ay mula sa
experience namin bilang distributor mula sa aming 200+ na clients (clinics,
government, doctors, botika, med reps, etc.) na patuloy na nag titiwala sa amin
bilang may-ari ng 3 botika.”
Sa
ganito pong business ang capital ranging from Php 50k+ depende po sa dami ng
merchandise na ibebenta ninyo at kung malaking botika ang i-establish ninyo.
Kami po kasi ay me experience na kapag kumikita ka na ng 2k/day (60k/month) sa
botika po namin ay ok na yun sa amin. Maliit na botika o drugstore siguro 15
sq.m. lang ang area nya basta maayos ang location.
Sa
business na ito, marami po tayong dapat i-consider at ipa-process (normal po
yan):
1.
Business name; Requirements:
Business Name
2pcs 2×2 colored pics
TIN and fee.
2.
Mayor’s permit – requirements: application form, DTI business name certificate,
location, pictures,
fee – medyo malaki depende sa municipality,
and fire protection
3.
TIN, sa BIR po yan – requirements:
fee
form 1901
Mayor’s permit
4.
SSS R1, mas mabilis po sa main branch – requirements:
R1 form
DTI business permit
Mayor’s permit
5.
DOLE – requirements:
Rule 1020 form
layout
vicinity map
6.
BFAD – requirements:
Mayor’s notarized petition form
list of products
at least 15SQM ang required na space
reference books e.g. MIMS (libro po yan,
meron sa National Bookstore. Free lang yan kapag member ka ng Drugstore
Association of the Philippines) o kahit ano na i-require nila sa inyo
prescription book (BFAD)
generic white label
dry seal o logo ninyo
Pharmacist Registration Certificate
Certificate of business registration with
BTNRCP
contract of lease
pictures ng drugstore with signboard (sure
na po ang inyong approval kasi mahirap ng palitan ang signboard – Php10k po yan
depende sa klase)
location plan at floor plan with dimension
7.
Others:
Dapat may kakilala kayong accountant (cpa
po ha) na siyang magkukwenta ng inyong finances, at mga taxes na babayaran sa
BIR. Marami po dyan.
Experienced pharmacist – ask nyo na lang po
sa kanila kung deal o no deal
Sales Clerk minimum of 2 (may experience at
isang trainee). Medyo mahirap mag handle ng ng staff, dapat personal na
management na po yan. Dapat alam nyo ang business kahit sa pinakamaliit na
detalye lalo na ang nasa isip nila para ma-reduce and blindspot sa side ninyo.
Rent expenses at insurance lalo na ang
building. May maganda, prime location (10k+ advances na talagang mostly
non-refundable), may ok lang (10k below), may pwede na (5k below) at may libre
kung sa inyo ang lugar. Basta po important factor and location, location,
location!
Dapat may mga agent kayo na
mapagkakatiwalaan na syang mag aasikaso ng business permits, renewals, etc.
kung busy kayo. Di kayo lugi dun at worth ang kanilang service.
Inventory – nandyan ang buhay.
About the feasibility study, kayo na ang
bahala, alamin nyo ang community needs ng locations.“
