Navigating Company Incorporation in the Philippines: How DV Consulting Guides You Every Step

---

Incorporating a company in the Philippines involves navigating multiple legal, regulatory, and administrative steps—from filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to obtaining business permits and agency registrations. The process can be complex, time-consuming, and overwhelming, especially for businesses unfamiliar with local requirements. That’s where DV Consulting steps in—providing expert guidance and streamlined solutions to help businesses incorporate smoothly and efficiently.

Step-by-Step: Philippine Incorporation Process

1. SEC Filing – Begin with the reservation and submission of registration documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This includes the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, Treasurer's Affidavit, and other required paperwork.

   
   

2. Local Government Registration – Once the SEC issues the Certificate of Incorporation, proceed to secure:

   • Barangay Clearance

   • Mayor’s Permit

   • Business Permit from the Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO)

     
     

3. BIR Registration – Register with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to obtain your Taxpayer Identification Number, register books of accounts, and secure authorization to print official receipts or use POS/CRM devices.

   
   

4. Employer Requirements – If hiring staff, register with:

   • Social Security System (SSS)

   • PhilHealth

   • Pag-IBIG Fund

     
     

  Timeline Estimates

• SEC registration alone may be completed within approximately 2 weeks.

• Full business setup, including bank account opening and permit acquisitions, typically takes 8–12 weeks.

Tips Before You Begin

• Prepare multiple names (3–5 alternatives) for name reservation to improve chances of approval.

• Define your office address early virtual office setups are viable alternatives initially
