  7. hi mr.villfuerte, i had been reading your article since June, its so informative and very much helpful, specially for those aspiring entrepreneurs.I wanted to have my own business but don’t know how to start because i don’t have a background in this field. I’m a health care provider but i want to venture on food cart franchising business. By reading your articles this give me the drive to pursue my vision of having my own business. I’m leaving in a condo, i found the right location for my hopeful new foodcart business, just infront of my unit is a soon to be school area. I’m hoping to put my foodcart in the sidewalk just below my condo. My question is what are the necessary permits do i need to have and do i still need to ask a permission of our building admin.,or does the baranggay and mayors permit alone will do?
    thank you very much.
