If you are planning to set up a meat shop, as a starter it is best to look around your area, your subdivision or your community. How far is the market, and is there a nearby meat shop that is operating, or a possible competition? Investigate your market, how many households are in the area? This way you can somehow determine if you have a good market, and a possible steady number of buyers who will patronize your products. This will also help you decide whether the location you are planning to set up a meat shop is best.
The next step is to identify a steady source of your products i.e. meat supplier which ideally should include beef, pork, chicken and preserves/processed meats such as tocino, tapa, etc. at a price that can provide you a good profit margin. You can initially source your product from a secondary supplier, however if you have determined the volume you need, you can source your products from primary suppliers such as meat farms, poultry, or piggeries. Make sure that your supplier will provide you the products at reasonable and competitive prices.
