Business Registration Service
Business registration is the process of officially registering a company with the appropriate government authorities to legally operate within a specific jurisdiction. It involves submitting required documents and meeting legal requirements, such as obtaining necessary licenses and permits.
We, at FilePino, specialize in company formation and business registration in the Philippines. Our comprehensive suite of top-tier business registration services includes:
Company Formation Consultation
With our in-house team of business consultants and corporate lawyers, we can discuss with you all the legal, technical, and capital requirements of company formation and business registration. We can also help you choose the right business structure, explore tax incentives, and provide tailored advice for a successful start of your business.
SEC, DTI, or CDA Registration
Whether you’re planning to register a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, cooperative, or offshore branch office, we need to have it registered first with the appropriate government regulatory body — Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or Cooperative Development Authority (CDA).
Business Permits (Barangay and Mayor’s Permits)
Once we obtain the registration certificate, we then proceed to secure the necessary business permits — barangay business permit and mayor’s permit — from the local government units (LGUs) having jurisdiction over the registered business address. This ensures that your business complies with the local regulations and ordinances.
BIR Registration
We understand that taxation is a big concern in establishing a business. To address this, we offer tax consultation services where our certified accountants can discuss your tax obligations based on your line of business before we proceed to the business registration with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for the issuance of a Certificate of Registration (COR).
Employer Registrations (SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund)
We want you to launch your business in no time and hire the talent who will be your partners through the success of the venture. To support this, we can also assist you in obtaining registration certificates from the three social security and statutory agencies — Social Security System (SSS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), and Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund).
Secondary and Special Licenses
As a leading and trusted company formation and business registration service provider in the Philippines, we have a thorough grasp of local corporate laws, including the additional and special licenses required for various types of businesses.

Business Registration FAQs
What business structures can be registered in the Philippines?
Local and foreign entrepreneurs and investors may register sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations (including one person corporations, or OPCs), cooperatives, branch and representative offices, and headquarters. Foreign nationals and entities, however, have specific requirements and industry limitations as defined by Philippine laws.
Can Business Registration be processed online?
There have been ongoing digitization efforts in the Philippine government, as part of R.A. 11032 or “Ease of Doing Business Act.” Although many agencies have introduced and implemented online systems, many still require in-person processing of registrations or a combination of in-person and online processes.
What happens if one fails to process Business Registration?
Failure to register a business can have serious consequences, such as legal penalties and sanctions imposed by the government authorities. Without the essential permits and licenses, the business may also have restricted access to resources and opportunities.
How long does it take to process Business Registration?
Based on the recent business registration transactions, the entire process from SEC registration to employer registrations with the statutory agencies can take around three (3) to four (4) months. However, this may be shortened or extended depending on particular circumstances.
Why do you need expert assistance with Business Registration?
Generally, business registration in the Philippines is characterized by complex regulations, bureaucratic intricacies, and extensive documentary requirements. Foreign nationals or entities, in particular, may find the process confusing, often resulting in mistakes and delays.
With expert assistance, however, the registration process can be streamlined, effectively addressing potential bottlenecks, obtaining permits and licenses promptly, and ensuring timely launch of the business.
