Company Formation & Business Registration
Company Formation & Business Registration Services in the Philippines: Launch Fast, Comply Seamlessly
Your Gateway to the Philippine Market—Fully Managed or Built to Order
Setting up a business in the Philippines is an exciting venture, but navigating the multi-layered regulatory landscape can be incredibly overwhelming. A single omission can lead to costly delays, compliance fines, or operational halts.
At 25east, we simplify the entire incorporation and registration process. We offer flexible corporate formation solutions designed to meet your specific needs. Whether you want a complete, hands-off, end-to-end setup where we handle everything from the ground up, or you simply need a targeted registration with a single government agency, our team has the deep local expertise to get it done efficiently.
Option 1: End-to-End Company Formation (The "Focus on Your Growth" Package)
If you want to bypass the bureaucracy completely and focus entirely on your business strategy, product development, and market launch, our end-to-end service is built for you. We manage the entire sequential registration pipeline across all mandatory Philippine government offices:
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or DTI: We handle name reservation, draft your Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws via the latest digital portals, and secure your Certificate of Incorporation.
Local Government Unit (LGU) Permits: We navigate your specific city hall to secure your Barangay Clearance, Fire Safety Inspection Certificate, and Mayor’s/Business Permit.
Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR): We process your corporate Tax Identification Number (TIN), secure your Certificate of Registration (COR / Form 2303), set up your Books of Accounts, and manage your Authority to Print (ATP) official invoices.
Statutory Employer Registrations: We register your new entity as an employer with the mandatory social contribution agencies: SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG.
The 25east Guarantee: You focus on your launch timeline; we handle the government lines. We hand over a fully compliant, bank-ready company.
Option 2: Standalone & Modular Agency Registrations
Already started the process but got stuck? Or perhaps you only need a specific license to expand your current operational capabilities? 25east Corp. offers unbundled, a la carte registration services. We can step in to handle just one specific agency, such as:
Standalone BIR Registration: Transitioning from an individual to a corporation, or shifting from a non-VAT to a VAT entity? We handle your complete tax mapping and BIR registration.
LGU & Mayor’s Permit Renewals/Applications: Let us manage the local city hall requirements, sanitary permits, and zoning clearances for your physical office or commercial space.
Secondary Licenses & Specialized Permits: If your industry requires additional clearance, we can assist with registrations for specialized agencies like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), PEZA/BOI (for tax incentives), or custom broker accreditations.
Strategic Company Formation Consulting—Included at No Extra Cost
Choosing the wrong corporate structure can lead to unnecessary tax burdens, foreign equity restrictions, or operational headaches down the line. That is why at 25east, we don’t just file paperwork blindly.
Every business registration package includes expert, tailored consulting on company formation at absolutely no additional cost to you. Before a single form is submitted, our legal and financial consultants sit down with you to evaluate your business model, target market, capitalization, and long-term goals. We guide you toward the best possible entity structure for your specific needs—ensuring your company is legally protected, tax-optimized, and structured exactly the way it needs to be from day one.

F.A.Q.'s
An end-to-end setup (SEC, LGU, and BIR) typically takes anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your corporate structure and the specific city hall (LGU) where your office is located.
Yes. If you don't have a commercial lease signed yet, you can utilize 25east's Virtual Office Service to secure a prestigious legal business address in the Philippines to clear your SEC, LGU, and BIR requirements.
Absolutely. This falls under our modular, standalone service. We can take your existing SEC documents and handle the local government permits and tax registrations seamlessly.
By law, you must register with the BIR within 30 days of securing your SEC or DTI certificates. Failing to do so triggers steep late-filing penalties and compounding compromises. If you've recently incorporated, contact us immediately to ensure you hit your BIR window.
Our free advisory session helps you figure out the "how" and "why" of your corporate setup. We will look at your industry to check for restrictions under the Foreign Investments Negative List (FINL), help you decide between a regular domestic corporation and a One Person Corporation (OPC), guide you on optimal paid-in capital requirements, and ensure your setup qualifies for any available local tax incentives.
