Want to register a business in the Philippines?

Registering a business and obtaining necessary licenses and permits to operate legally is an important part of running any business and being a business owner.

It is very important to register your business to ensure and give assurance to your potential clients/customers that you’re business is properly registered with the relevant government agencies. Facts, data, proofs are essential before clients consider and start doing business with you.

Doing business in the Philippines, either as single proprietorship, partnership or corporation calls for proper licenses and permits from government agencies in the country.

Following are the government agencies that you need to register with when starting a business:

BUSINESS PERMIT

All businesses are required to secure a Business Permit also referred to as the Mayor’s Permit from the Mayor's Office. It is one of the requirements for every business or company to operate officially in the Philippines.

Requirements and procedures for obtaining a permit may vary depending on the implemented rules and guidelines of the city or municipality. Business Permit is being issued by the municipality or local government where the office or business is located.
