- One of the popular small home-based business if you are living in the Philippines is the retail store or variety store (sari-sari store in Tagalog). This small home-based business is easy to start. You can just open your window and put the goodies on it. You can hang some of the goods and put the others inside a transparent jars. If you want a bigger space, you can have it in your garage. Put some divider where you can display your products. I will post more about retail store operation on my next post.
