Processing business permits is tough at times especially when you do it in January wherein most companies apply or renew their permits. It may also be burdensome if you have to go back and forth to the City or Municipal Office to finish everything. This scenario may not happen if you know beforehand what to prepare before actually going to the actual process.
Get barangay clearance first from the barangay where your business will operate. You have to take note that the business store location is the basis of your barangay clearance not your residence except of course if you put up your store in the same barangay that you live in.
2. DTI Registration
Apply for business name registration in DTI. On a case to case basis, you will pass some business seminars from DTI and their connected agencies before you can get your Certificate of Business Name Registration for presentation to other offices for your permit. For instance, if you are going to make a food business, you will be given a seminar or trainer on proper food handling before you get your certificate or even may require at times to show where you will operate for sanitation purposes.
