Franchise Asia Philippines 2025 is drawing significant attention this week as it brings together entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, and experts at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
The Franchise Asia Philippines Expo is scheduled to run from April 25 to 27, with hundreds of exhibitors from key industries such as food, retail, health, education, wellness, and logistics. It also features international pavilions, including participants from Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan.
One of the key exhibitors at the expo is Master Siomai. Known for its straightforward business model, the brand has become a popular choice for entrepreneurs looking to invest in a food-based franchise that is easy to operate and is positioned in high-traffic locations.
Master Siomai plans to showcase the benefits of owning a franchise with an established brand during the expo. The company aims to attract potential franchisees by highlighting the low barriers to entry and strong market presence of its business model. The brand aims to inspire attendees to take the first step toward starting their own food business by offering a simple, proven franchise opportunity.
For aspiring business owners, the Master Siomai brand offers two distinct franchise models: the flagship concept and the more budget-friendly Siomai on the Go (SIOGO) option. These two models cater to different market needs, giving entrepreneurs options that align with their financial goals and business plans.
Bringing street food to a bigger market
At Franchise Asia Philippines 2025, entrepreneurs will have the chance to explore the business models of Master Siomai. The flagship concept is well-established and recognized for its high-quality product offerings. Having gained customer trust and loyalty nationwide, Master Siomai is an attractive choice for franchisees who want to tap into an established market.
SIOGO, on the other hand, provides a more affordable entry point into the food business. Designed around a compact food stall setup, SIOGO is ideal for those looking to operate in high-traffic street-side or on-the-go locations.
Master Siomai’s franchise system continues to attract attention due to its efficient structure and straightforward business model. The company has built a solid reputation, backed by years of consistent performance in the local food industry. Its operational approach is clear and manageable, covering day-to-day processes, customer service, and marketing efforts. The system is structured in a way that allows franchisees to focus on growth instead of learning everything from scratch.
Each franchisee receives comprehensive training before beginning operations. Support continues after launch, allowing new business owners to access assistance as needed. This level of guidance reduces the trial-and-error phase for many entrepreneurs, especially those entering the food industry for the first time.
During the expo, company representatives will be present to explain the business model in full. Attendees can speak directly with franchise consultants to understand the steps involved in applying, the requirements, and what kind of support they can expect after signing on. The booth will also give visitors a chance to see how the setup works in practice.
The brand will also offer exclusive discounts and special promotions to those who express interest in becoming part of the franchise network. It is an ideal time for prospective franchisees to make the leap into business ownership, with the added benefit of exclusive pricing and offers available only during the event.
The popularity of Master Siomai comes not just from the business model but also from the product itself. Master Siomai is the only food stall business with six variants of siomai to offer customers. Its siomai, particularly the pork and shrimp variant, is well-known for its consistent quality and flavor. Many Filipinos are familiar with the sight of Master Siomai carts in malls, terminals, and various public locations. The strong presence of the brand adds to its appeal among new business owners who want visibility from the beginning.
As more people look for low-maintenance food businesses, Master Siomai’s booth is expected to draw a crowd. Its low start-up cost and easy-to-operate format gives people the option to build at their own pace while having access to an established system. The franchise model allows new owners to begin small and scale operations depending on performance and available resources; and it also allows those with long-term plans to expand without requiring major upfront commitments.
Master Siomai’s participation in this year’s expo matches the event’s theme, “Building Success Together,” highlighting the brand’s continued support in helping Filipinos pursue business ventures that are scalable and easier to manage. Apart from the main exhibition area, the event also features business seminars and networking sessions. These aim to guide attendees on how to select the right franchise or convert their own business into one. Seminar topics include brand development, digital marketing, operational systems, finance, logistics, sustainability, and human resource management. All sessions are held in the meeting rooms of the SMX Convention Center.
Entrance to the expo is free for those who register online. More information, including the registration link, is available at www.franchiseasiaph.com/expo.
