Guide on DTI Business Registration Fees Based on Business Territorial Scope
DTI BUSINESS REGISTRATION FEES – Here is a guide on the cost in registering a business name to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) based on the territorial scope of the business.
There are a lot of things to consider in starting a business. It is important to go through them one by one for security’s sake and to make sure that you are not in conflict with other businesses’ rights in putting up your own.
One of the first considerations is the business name. Registering the name of your business is a good way to ensure that you have the rights over a certain business name – although it does not stop other people, those whose businesses are not registered, from having the same name.
On your part, if you have your business name registered, you are assured that you are not using a business name that is already within the rights of another business owner.
The first thing in registering a business name is thinking what name to register. One tip is to use a two-word business name with the first name that is something personal followed by the name that speaks about the nature or services of the business you offer.
For example: Terry’s Cafe, Brandon’s Computer Shop, Maharlika Printing, Felipe’s Donuts
