About opening a business dates
Opening a business is 開市 in the almanac: the first day you trade or welcome customers. The classic choices are 開 Open, 成 Success and 滿 Full, a day of abundance that suits trade and collecting payments.
We skip Destruction and Close days (Close is the opposite of opening), year-breaker days, the eve of each season change and Yang Gong taboo days. Hungry Ghost month is not excluded, but many shop owners still avoid launching then.
Add the owner’s or main partner’s birth year to hide days that clash with them. The day you take your first sale matters more than the day you register the company.
Questions about opening a business dates
Is it the registration date or the opening date that matters?
Traditionally, the opening: the first day you trade, open the doors or take the first sale. Company registration is administrative and rarely chosen by date.
Does the time of day matter?
Many owners light the first incense or open the shutters at an auspicious hour in the morning. This page covers the day only. A personal report can add the hours.
What if my only available date is a Fair day?
A Fair day has no traditional exclusions. You can soft-open on it and hold the grand opening ceremony on a Good day later.
What about Hungry Ghost month?
The classic opening rules do not exclude it, so those days are not greyed out. Many shop owners in Singapore and Malaysia still prefer to launch after the 7th lunar month.
Is it the same for an online business?
The same principles are used for the launch date of a website or online shop. Treat the day orders open as the opening.
