Well sa ngaun, kahit saang lugar ka na pumunta eh marami ng

nagtatabihang computer shops at mahirap na talaga ang makipag-

kompetensya. Payo ko lng is 

1. Best to consider ay ang strategic location ng pagtatayuan mo ng

business. Maraming tao bah sa lugar? malapit bah sa schools or
madaling puntahan at accessible sa mga bata at ordinaryong tao. Kasi
dapat secure din sya dibah para sa safety ng shop mo at mga clients. 
2. Kung meron bang magandang provider sa lugar mo, kasi dito ka rin
matatalo kung hindi maganda angInternet connection mo, so consider
the best provider din. 
3. Sa computers na kukunin dapat fully loaded na sya and better to
invest for an amount that would benefit you for a long term. Kasi sa
softwares pa lng titibain ka ng Microsoft ngunit mas maganda pa rin
kung licensed na lahat ng softwares mo kahit sa OS at games kung
magpapalaro ka. Dahil dito makakasigurado ka na malinis at maayos
ang mga PC mo;)
4. At ang huli kung panoh mo na i-manage ng tama ang cafe, marami
sa ngaun bukas d2 sarado doon, kasi ang ibah nga hindi
napaghandaan kung anong problema ang darating, so always may
contingency plans ka para buhay pa rin ang business.

Initial investments:

10 Dell workstations (latest specs)

1  Network/file server
1  Router
1 Mbps (at least) DSL connections (BayanDSL)
1 Hp color printer
1 HP laser printer (b&w)
1 Photocopier (Bought brand new from Kyocera)
Misc. - includes head phones, pc mic, webcam, speakers, etc.
Store repairs/improvements

You'll also need to secure the ff.:

1.  Business permit (and all pertinent documentations from city hall)
2.  Tax-related requirements

Recurring Costs:

1.  Operating Expense (OPEX) - includes staff salary, electricity, rent

(if applicable), DSL fee, etc.
2.  If you plan to lease a photocopier (eg. Fujitsu), they charge
additional per number of pages photocopied.
3.  Business Permit

Risks:

1.  Cut-throat competetion. Hundreds of other internet cafes are just

around the corner.  Netopia being the biggest competition.
2.  OPEX tends to go up esp. in the case of electricity, staff salaray, PC
maintenance/upgrades, etc.
3.  Based on #1, you cannot price your services more than the market
average or you'll lose your business faster than you've put it together.
4.  Based on #2, you'll need to impute all your OPEX to your pricing
but with consideration to #3.
5.  Target market. Ensure that at least for now, your target market is
not yet saturated.  If significant number of internet cafes are already
operating in your target market, then it doesn't make sense to put up
a new one.
6.  Depreciation.  PCs and other tech gadgets deprecieate a big deal
quickly.

IMO, any business na madaling pasukan is not a good business. 

Business like this, una-unahan lang.  Sa umpisa malaki ang kita.  But
with more and more competitors, you're share of the pie tends to get
smaller.  Eventually, paliit ng paliit ang kita nyong lahat.
