Prvo desetletje 20. stoletja bilo zelo uspešno za poslovanje Budkovičeve trgovine, odprte leta 1901 v Bohinjski Bistrici. Izkoristil je čas gradnje bohinjske železniške proge in predora ter razcvet turistične dejavnosti. Po ugodnih cenah in na kredit je prodajal skoraj vse za potrebe ljudi in živali: prehrambene izdelke, galanterijo, posodo, izdelke iz tekstila, steklo, les, papir, gradbeni material stroje itd. Tistega,česar v trgovini ni imel na zalogi, so lahko kupci pri njem naročili iz katalogov eminentnih trgovin. Kottajnik športnega in kopališčnega društva Danica je sodeloval pri ureditvi parka, kopališča in sankališča vBohinjski Bistrici. S pridobitvijo več zemljišč je svojo dejavnost razširil tudi na kmetijstvo.
