Business registration, amendment and closure
The whole registration lifecycle, handled in the right sequence — opening a company, changing what is registered, or closing it down cleanly so nothing follows you afterwards.
Where are you?
Each is a fixed-fee project with its own milestones. Choose a stage to see how it runs.
We run the process. You keep the decisions. Legal opinions, notarisation and audited statements stay with the appropriate licensed practitioner, separately engaged. See Trust & Governance →
Registering a new entity
From name reservation to the point where you can lawfully hire, invoice and operate. The scope depends on the vehicle you are setting up — we confirm which is appropriate during scoping rather than assuming it.
Changing an existing registration
The SEC filing is only the first half. The work that actually causes trouble is propagating the change to every agency holding the old details — and doing it in the order their dependencies allow.
Changes we handle
- Conversion from a One Person Corporation to an ordinary stock corporation
- Change of corporate name
- Change of principal office address
- Change of primary or secondary purpose
- Increase or decrease in authorised capital stock
- Changes in directors, officers or shareholdings
- Opening or closing a branch or additional location
- Amendment of articles or bylaws generally
Then, across the agencies
- BIR registration update, and RDO transfer where the address moves district
- New invoices or official receipts where the name or address is printed on them
- LGU amendment, or retirement of the old permit and a new application in the new locality
- Barangay, zoning and fire-safety clearances for a new address
- SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG employer-data updates
- Bank, lease, contract and registry records that carry the old details
The fixed project fee includes up to two reasonable rounds of document revision arising from your instructions or ordinary agency comments. Material redesign of the ownership structure, capital classes, purpose or foreign-equity position after drafting is handled through a change order.
Closing a business properly
An abandoned registration does not go quiet. Filing obligations continue, penalties accrue, and officers can find themselves answering for a company they thought was long gone. Closing properly costs less than closing late.
What sits outside the professional fee
Government and third-party costs are excluded from our fee and estimated separately in your proposal — they vary enormously by locality, capital and circumstances.
- SEC or DTI registration fees and documentary stamp tax
- Local business tax and barangay, zoning, fire-safety and occupancy fees
- BIR registration charges and printing of invoices and receipts
- Notarial charges, courier and document handling
- Audited or interim financial statements where an agency requires them
- Any tax, penalty, surcharge, interest or arrears that becomes payable
