Guide on DTI Business Name Registration – Steps on Registering Online
DTI BUSINESS NAME REGISTRATION – Here’s a guide on how to register the name of your business to the Department of Trade and Industry online.
Like in other countries, there are several basic processes in the Philippines if you want to start a legal business. You need to secure a clearance from the barangay where you will operate your business, you have to get a Business Permit or a Mayor’s Permit, you need to have it registered to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), and a lot more.
One of the exciting things in starting a business is choosing a name for your business. If you are a freelancer, it is okay not to have your name registered to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). If not, you must have it registered to make sure it is not registered before another business in the government agency.
Also, registering your business name to DTI gives you the legal authority to use it in your business operation. You have the right to act in case another business would be using the same name as yours in the future.
There is a certain fee in registering a business name to DTI. It would actually depend on the scope of the business you are planning to start. Meanwhile, there is no hassle in registering it as you can do so online.
The DTI Business Name Registration can be done through the Business Registration Name System (BNRS) of the government agency. Prior to it, there are documents that you must comply with.
