the old scheme rental i believe is only a few hundred dollars
for hawker stalls.
now it is in thousands, not easy to break even.
assuming you lease a whole coffee shop for business. the rental,
depending on the location will be in tens of thousands. you get to
sub-lease the stalls to other hawkers. the success of the coffee
shop actually depends very much on the general crowd and also the
quality of the hawkers you sub-lease to.
on top of that you have to pay a few months downpayment. assuming
the rental is 30k per month, you might have to fork out 30k x 3
mths = 90k for downpayment.
can you afford?
running a coffee shop is a big-time business.
try selling porridge (ba chok, not teochew muair) to get a feel of
what hawker life is about.
