One of the best expos we’ve been to this year. It’s worth your gas.

Laptop Phoneshop Exchange is one of the latest emerging concepts in the recent 2008 Philippine Franchise Conference and Expo at SMX Convention Center. It is a financial service business with personal electronic gadgets and laptops as collaterals instead of jewelries, watches and other appliances. It operates like a regular pawnshop.

The business is very young. Laptop Phoneshop Exchange started its operations in 2006 in Barangay Valencia, Quezon City. Since then, the business expanded to eight more branches in Metro Manila and key cities in Visayas and Mindanao.

Here are some helpful information if you want to learn more about the business:

Initial term: 5 years
Total investment: P1.360 M
Continuation fee: P15,000/month
