How to start a business with P1,500

Starting a business with only a P1,500 capital may seem unlikely nowadays. But for people like Fern-C distributor Letty Ochoa, that investment has turned into a lucrative P30,000 income after only a month. Since then, the recently widowed Ms. Ochoa was able to grow her business that allowed her to buy a brand new Ford Escape and a 300-sqm property in less than 2 years.

Fern-C is the currently the country’s most popular Vitamin C brand. It comes from FERN, Inc., a company that has consistently grown by leaps and bounds since it started five years ago.

“Through Fern-C, I was able to resolve my financial problems and provide a better and more secure future with my family,” Ochoa shares.

Prior to distributing Fern-C, Ochoa was undergoing great financial difficulty; her husband was ill and was undergoing regular dialysis, a very expensive treatment.

“It was really difficult for us because aside from his medication, we also had other pressing expenses,” she reveals. This led her to look for other means with which she could help augment the family income.

The Ochoas learned about Fern-C from their friend Patrick Zuñiga, Fern-C’s Training and Development Consultant. Encouraged by the business opportunity that it offered, she bought two (2) boxes for P1,500 which gave her the chance to sign up as a member for free. The husband and wife then availed of two more boxes of Fern-C brand to be used as demo materials. 

“After one month, our P1,500 capital turned into a P30,000 income,” Ochoa says.

She adds that it wasn’t really hard to encourage family and friends to try Fern-C.

“They immediately saw its many benefits. It is the first non-acidic Vitamin C brand in the country and is a really high quality product. The results are amazing. After a few weeks, I had more clients and started building my own network,” she says.

Fern-C is a premium quality Vitamin C from DSM of Switzerland, the world’s leading vitamin manufacturer. It is alkaline-based and is absorbed by the body eight times faster than acid-based preparations. It works as a super-antioxidant that fights off the damaging effects of free radicals. It also helps boost immune system to protect the body against common illnesses and viral and bacterial infections and aid in building collagen needed in developing bone, muscle, and skin and aids prevent stress-related disorders.

The materials used in Fern-C are guaranteed by DSM’s Quali-C trademark which ensures the safety and effectiveness of the materials used in its manufacture through advanced quality control systems.

“Fern-C is also very affordable for only P7.50 per capsule,” Ochoa says. But as a member, Fern also offers a very attractive business opportunity.
