No matter where you are based, setting up a business in the Philippines can be a fruitful venture. The country is fast developing and policies are more business-friendly. The tax rates are low and the country has access to the wider ASEAN region. No matter the size of your business, there are many advantages in setting up shop in the Philippines.
Yet it can be time-consuming and tricky to do so without experience. This is true if you are not familiar with the local laws and requirements.
Here are some steps to know when setting up a business in the Philippines:
- Choose a business structure and register the name
- Pay the deposit and other fees and taxes
- Register with the Securities and Exchange Commission and BIR
- Register with the Social Security System
- Get other clearances such as location, barangay, PAG-IBIG funds, PhilHealth (insurance), etc.
Working with a firm that has experience in setting up companies can be a big help. Outsourcing these functions can help lessen the stress of building a business in a foreign country.
