After successful registration, companies must renew their business permits yearly with their respective LGU to ensure continuous smooth sailing business operations. 

The renewal period is on the first month of the calendar year, usually from January 1 to 20. Businesses that fail to renew their permits within the prescribed period will impose a penalty from a 25% surcharge on renewal fees to an additional 2% interest per month of delay.
