Starting and doing Business in the Philippines
Investors doing business in the Philippines must register and obtain licenses from the appropriate government agencies. Incorporation and licensing of a branch office begins at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Businesses subject to Philippine tax must register with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). Local governments require permits to operate. Employers must register themselves and their employees with the Social Security System (SSS), Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), and Philhealth.
