Why Bizyonaryo?

• Over 98.7 percent of businesses in the Philippines are micro, small and medium scale enterprises, but their share of the total economic pie is minimal compared to big businesses
• Micro and small entrepreneurs, in particular, are weak in marketing, organization, finances, and even lack advertising support
• They have one secret strength => their sheer NUMBER. Together, they also employ the most number of people. And this is what matters most
• Unlike big corporations, where profits are the main driving force regardless even if it is done at the expense of others, micro and small entrepreneurs are mostly set-up for survival and to help every member of a family get through the necessities of life => an education, a decent income, and the freedom to enjoy a little comfort
• If only micro and small entrepreneurs are able to help each other, they can benefit mutually and manage to grow together. How this can be done is what BIZYONARYO is all about
• Unlike the dog-eat-dog competition in the free market world, BIZYONARYO offers to revive the "BAYANIHAN SPIRIT," a trait that is now lost in the Westernized big business model, but is still inherently present in the small PINOY entrepreneur
• Just to remind people, "BAYANIHAN SPIRIT," is a traditional community-based Pinoy trait and practice of helping each other, and virtually not expecting anything in return. For BIZYONARYO, Bayanihan can also be played up to mean "BAYAN" as the community and "ANIHAN" for harvests
• Therefore if the micro and small entrepreneurs can work together in a community as a "BAYAN," through BIZYONARYO, then it is easy to achieve bumper harvests or "ANIHAN" for everybody
• Micro and small entrepreneurs can also emerge potentially as the new "BAYANI" or third group of heroes, next to the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW)
• There are four strategic ways how members of BIZYONARYO can achieve market competitiveness through the application of the "BAYANIHAN SPIRIT":
  1. Supply Discounts - offer big price discounts to each other
  2. Market Patronage - always buy from each other
  3. Credit Terms - offer good credit terms to fellow members
  4. Barter Trading - benefit from the exchange of products and services, while saving on cashflow
