Evaluating a site, land for possible business venture - thinking out of the box

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

We went on a 100 km trip to municipality in Calabarzon with a population of 130k.  There are tree similar establishments in the said municipality with 1/3 of their inventories still unsold.   it is 20 km to nearby major city.   

When we arrived at the site, I was dismayed:  the property is some 1.2 km from Maharlika highway.  The Right of Way was narrow.  The proponent said it is near existing govt and religious establishment.   Getting a passage would look like a challenge.  There is a big option to buy a right of way but it is opposite a big housing project

We went to the religious and govt establishment and soon I began to get a clearer picture of the opportunity.  

We will not position the project as a high end project but something for the masses.  And the prices will be competitive.   We will have 4 types of products and the passage through the two established businesses will not be a first priority but as an added +   

We will secure the following data/approval;

1.  Endorsement from the barangay;
2.  Right of way from the 1 hectare property near housing project;
3.  Pricing data

If you think like you are in prison and you have to find out how to escape, and how to free yourself from a prison term, then you can find creative ways to solve a problem.

I think the land owner was happy.  Since he was a contractor, he can opt to be the land owner and developer himself, with us just giving him guidance and management of the project.
