Types of Business Registration

Representative Office

A Representative Office in the Philippines is a business structure that acts as a local liaison office for a foreign corporation that seeks to establish a corporate presence in the country without engaging in income-generating activities.

Sole Proprietorship

Sole Proprietorship is a business structure owned by an individual who has full control/authority of its business and owns all the assets, personally owes answers to all liabilities or suffers all losses but enjoys all the profits to the exclusion of others. A sole proprietorship must apply for a business name and be registered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) - National Capital Region (NCR).
