Business Permits and Licensing

Requirements and steps for business permits.

Guide only

BetterRamon.org does not collect payments, accept applications or issue documents. Assessments, official receipts and permits come only from the offices of LGU Ramon. Apply at the Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO) or the LGU’s Business One-Stop Shop.

Local fees, schedules and forms can differ by ordinance. Items marked “To be verified” are not yet confirmed for Ramon; ask the office before you go.

New business: step by step

  1. Register your business name or entity. Sole proprietors register with DTI (online through the Business Name Registration System). Corporations and partnerships register with SEC; cooperatives with CDA.
  2. Get a barangay business clearance from the barangay where the business is located.
  3. Apply for a Mayor’s (business) permit at the BPLO / Business One-Stop Shop using the unified application form. Pay the assessed fees at the Municipal Treasurer’s Office and keep the official receipt.
  4. Get a Fire Safety Inspection Certificate from the Bureau of Fire Protection, usually processed with the permit.
  5. Register with BIR at the Revenue District Office covering Ramon, or online through BIR ORUS. Since 2024 there is no more ₱500 annual registration fee.
  6. If you have employees, register as an employer with SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG.

Renewal

Renew every year within the first 20 days of January. Bring your previous permit, last year’s official receipts, a new barangay clearance and a declaration of last year’s gross sales. Late renewal adds a surcharge of up to 25% plus interest. Tax details are in the tax payments guide.

How long it should take

Under the Ease of Doing Business Act, government offices must act within 3 working days for simple transactions, 7 for complex ones and 20 for highly technical ones, once your requirements are complete.
