Dear All,
I am an expat pakistani.
Can someone advise If I have a budget of Rs. 50 to 70 Lacs, want to buy a shop anywhere in Lahore where I can start some business, like mobile shop, PC/ laptop sale shop, grocery store, hotel etc.,
Reason for mentioning these businesses is that without much experience one can start these sort of businesses easily.
Shall be grateful if any of the respected reader can help me for some specific shop at a good location with the apprx. price and which business to start with?

Bundle of thanks in advance,
Jazakallah Khair.

Best regards,
Khalil

I am sure lot of experience is needed not only to cook food but to handle the experts ie cooks and waiters. Most of them are bachelors and carry lot of issues and also leave without giving any notices

Khalil Bhai Mr. Jameel is right. To run an hotel, even a small one, you need more than one persons of your own family (brother or son only)& need a lot dedicated work without break.
However, it may sound against the ego of some, I have done a bit of home work on a ""Gents Hair Saloon". In short if your saloon is at the right place you will have an average income of PRs. 2500/- per day per chair in your saloon. The space required per chair is around 4.5 to 5.0 ft. So a 30/40 ft long shop will accomodate 6/8 chairs. So the saloon will earn 15,000 to 20,000 per day. If we take a net profit of 30% of the income (after accounting for all the expenses)the daily net income of the saloon will be 4,500 to 6,000 which amounts to PRs. 135,000/- to 180,000/- per month. which, I believe, is enough for a family to live comfortably.
So far the investment is concerned a good shop fitting will cost you less a million PRs. & you will need to have two persons to supervise the shop (yourself & one more reliable person)
Other good businesses are Stationary Shop, A coffee shop with a frenchise from some good bakery manufacturers but their location is important because you will be targetting student community.

Regards.

dear khalil , it is good idea given by AG but islamic point of view this business is bit doubtful as i had done some workout in dubai for the same business and there is good return and no risk but when consulted with moulanan Ilyas Qadri he said barber shop is only halal if it does not shave the DHARIES. Mr AG and P. Paki are requested to suggested some ohter business in the same budget of 01 to 02 million PKRs with some good return.thanks

Dear Mr. P. Paki,

I have been reading your post in the past. It seems you have good business ideas. Could you please propose any business with a profit return of Rs 500,000/ per month and at what cost/investment in Lahore.You expert opinion would be highly appreciated.

Vistor replied on Sunday, December 4, 2011 11:17 AM 

Please also give some ideas about any business investing 500,000 (5Lac)and its return approximate. Looking ideas is on any Rental Shop / any type business for Raw hand person but hard worker.

Khan replied on Sunday, December 4, 2011 11:22 AM 

Mr. Amjad,

Let us think for a moment. Haraam has been very clearly defined in hadith and Quraan. No matter how much shaving and not keeping beard may be bad or against the sunnat ,no where it has been prescribed as haraam. Please go back to Moulana and please ask him, the authority on which he has declared it haraam. The authority has to be hadith or Quraan and not his own understanding. Or you give his phone number or contact and I would talk like to enquire from him.

amjad replied on Sunday, December 4, 2011 02:21 PM 

dear MR Khan thanks for input- this question was asked in madni mazakra on dawate islami channel from moulana Ilays amir sunat waljammat - for more details www.dawateislami.com

Aamir replied on Sunday, December 4, 2011 04:25 PM 

According to literal interpretation of Islam the business of Files also becomes haram. Since the trading of non existent commodity is not allowed.

P.paki replied on Sunday, December 4, 2011 07:43 PM 

Khalil bhai, 1 more idea.

Buy 5 marla plot in johar town in 20-22 lakh, build it wi.th 20 lakh n sale for 50 lakh. Whole process takes about 6-8 months on average inlcuding sales time. U can save 1 lakh per month in start without any risk. As many houses u can start at a time is as much profit u will get. Rest 20-30 lakh u can keep in diffrernt business or phase 9 file of 1 kanal.

Dear CMY, P.Paki and AG brothers
is there any possibilty to open a general business discussion forum to discuss all issues and ideas regarding other than property bussiness also, same like this forum. This forum is very very useful for all of us but there are some limits as this is purely property forum.
Brothers this is big requirment and number of practical experiences can be shared which will help hundereds and thousands people. this is special request to you people as you all are well experienced and positive contributors. thanks and best regards

Aamir replied on Monday, December 5, 2011 09:28 AM 

@amjad: That's a Good idea. There could be 100s of business ideas but business opportunity could be only lesser than fewer. I believe only the practical experience conveys the real message of anything that involves creation or adition of value.

P.paki replied on Monday, December 5, 2011 10:31 AM 

Dear we r already working on this idea. It is under testing and after 10-20 days it will b online for business . For property this is best forum.
