In putting up a business, there are several government agencies you have to register with depending on the type of your business.
There are five areas you need to work for the necessary permits and licenses. The first step begins with the BUSINESS REGISTRATION. You can work on the other four areas in no particular order.
Register your business with the LGU
All businesses, whatever the legal form, are required to secure a mayor’s permit or municipal license from the city or municipality where they are located. Permits or licenses are required to ensure that the standards are met and that the business complies with the specific requirements of the business locale. Registration procedures and requirements vary across cities and municipalities. To view the list of local government units (LGUs), please visit the Department of Interior and Local Government website or http://lgu201.dilg.gov.ph. You may also select from the dropdown below if your LGU already has an online system for business permit applications.
