Last night was one of those "I will sleep now, I do not want to talk to you anymore" nights between me and my husband. For a few weeks now, he has been into gym and fitness activities. Actually, he has been going to gym everyday for as I said few weeks now. He mentioned about going into gym business as a profitable venture. Disappointing him was none in my list but I do no want to give him false hope. Despite of being tired for the whole day, I got myself seated and explained. But then, he is not a finance person so explaining ROI, net income and rate of return were not in his vocabulary.
So I ended up watching him stretch his muscles and ending the call eventually.
According to the person he inquired about starting a gym business, it would require Php50,000 investment to put up a gym business. In our residence area, the entry fee of going to gym is only P20. So roughly if you have only 5 loyal customers a day, assuming the daily operating expenses would only P70, that would leave you a P30 net income per day times 30 days to get the monthly income times 12 to get the yearly income of only P10,800. Not a good picture if this business would only be your source of income. To compute for the ROI or return on investment, divide the investment by the yearly income so Php50,000/10,800=4.63 years or 4 years and 8 months before you can have the initial investment recovered. Anything you earn after the investment recovery would be your profit in putting up a business.
That is too long!
But then those are assumptions so you would really be needing a good location and a good
business plan
Here's good article in putting up a business so read along with me.
