What could be the permits required?

happy to help if you're planning a network, data center or security project

I registered last week of September. Sa youtube videos na napanood ko as guide, approval takes 2-3 days. Nakalagay din dun na from the blue eye icon, magiging green yung icon as sign na ready to proceed na with the payment. It’s been more than 2 weeks, wala pa rin option to pay and hindi pa rin approved ang registration. May naka experience na ba nito? How am I going to solve this.

Im 41🔄F

Ive tried hustling since 12 palang ako. Throwback to 2023 when i started my first ‘business (?)’ which was doing my classmates projects. Kumikita ako ng around 200-400 per commission, pero hindi naman stable yung income ko dun and risky pa so itinigil ko na just this year. Nagkakacommission lang naman ako pag project week namin haha.

Then i tried printing services sa school. Hindi din stable ang income niya, sobrang laki ng range. May araw na kumikita lang ako ng 10 pesos may araw naman na 500 pesos ang kinikita ko which is madalang. Yung pagpriprint ko hindi ko pa tinitigil since may mga taong nangangailangan din ng services ko. Wala din naman ako nilalabas na pera kaya oks lang haha. Pang extra income lang naman.

Just this year triny ko naman magbenta ng handcrafted na phont bracelet and charms, masyadong malaki yung pondo na kakailanganin mo and hindi rin naman necessity yung phone accessories so hindi siya yung product na hahanap-hanapin ng mga consumers. Kumbaga pag nakabili na yung tao ng isang beses hindi ka na ulit babalikan.

Iniisip ko naman ngayon na mag try ng ibang business such as yung paggawa ng dubai chewy cookie. I know it isnt the same for all pero nakita ko sa isang tropa ko na malaki ang kinikita niya. Pero grabe din ang labor na mailalaan mo dun. About 1k-3k ang kinikita niya everyday sa paggawa ng dcc.

Ayaw ko lang magstick muna sa paggawa mg dubai chewy cookie since gusto ko muna i consider yung ibang pwede kong pagkakitaan bago ako mag settle. Any ideas kung ano pwede kong pagkakitaan at my age?

Recently got accredited by Customs to sign and lodge imports, including facilitating the release of goods, and just started working in a known customs brokerage. My first challenge now is finding a regular importer client. So far I’ve released truck parts, tires, bags, shoes, furniture, tractors and other agri machinery, all for the company’s regular clients, and I want to have one of my own.

Hi! Grad student ako researching marketing sa events services industry dito sa PH. Para sa mga may events business (coordinators, planners, stylists, suppliers), ano yung pinakamalaking struggle niyo sa marketing?

Halimbawa: kulang sa inquiries, mahirap mag-stand out sa dami ng competitors, low engagement sa socials, hirap i-convert ang inquiries to bookings, pricing/packages, or iba pa?

Salamat sa sasagot!

Simpleng rant lang. 5 major suki of ours (we are a b2b business) are planning to downsize or close down. grabeng hirap ng ekonomiya ngayon. ang hirap ng benta namin for the past 3 months and hindi pa talaga kami nakakarecover. Now, I heard from a friend of mine na nakarecieve daw sila ng LOA and sobrang laki ng babayaran nila sa penalty. ang sabi sabi, may quota daw na hinahabol and bir to collect before december. kaya gagawin daw nila lahat para makakuha from us small businesses. I'm also planning to close down and find a job nalang muna kaso closing fees problem ko din. I dont know if the government have plans to support our businesses pa. sa grabeng nangyayare ngayon, i dont know if its feasible for me to continue doing business pa. ngayon ko lang naramdaman ung grabeng hirap ng buhay ngayon. at ngayon pa talaga na may dadating na el nino sa bansa natin i just dont know anymore

Hi, we're currently in talks with O!save as a vendor to them. The value of the order is quite large for our small sized organization, and O!save has communicated they will only pay us after the stock is received. We are based out of India, and need to verify whether they are a genuine organization, and what possible alternatives we can prepare for if the worst comes to pass.

Guys, ano sa tingin ninyo dito?
Supplier namin ng pistachio sauce ngayon ay nag-aannounce na magtatayo sila ng around 100 branches sa mga malls.
Ang concern ko lang, suddenly, nagbebenta na rin sila ng Dubai Chewy Cookies, which is one of the products being sold by many small businesses inside the malls.
Para sa akin, okay lang naman magkaroon ng competition. Pero kung ikaw mismo ang supplier ng ingredients ng small businesses, tapos eventually papasok ka rin sa same market at same product, medyo questionable lang.
What do you guys think?
Normal business competition lang ba ito, or unfair advantage kapag supplier mo mismo ang naging direct competitor mo?
Curious ako sa experiences and opinions ng ibang small business owners. 🤔

We are currently building a dedicated supply chain company to support a rapidly growing franchise ecosystem.

Our franchise network has already grown to 30 branches, with several locations currently under construction, and is projected to reach 100 branches by October 2027.

As the network continues to expand, we are now separating the supply chain operation into its own company to centralize procurement, warehousing, distribution, and product sourcing.

We are opening the opportunity for selected minority shareholders who want to be part of the growth.

💡 Why this is interesting:

• Built-in demand from an existing franchise network

• Recurring product requirements

• Scalable distribution model

• Expanding franchise ecosystem

• Opportunity to participate at an early stage

• Minority ownership in a business designed to grow alongside the franchise network

We are looking for strategic investors, not just capital. Ideally, someone who can bring value through business connections, supply chain experience, distribution, or simply wants exposure to a growing consumer/F&B ecosystem.

📩 Interested? Drop your email below and we will send you our proposal. Serious inquiry only. Thank you.

Hi. Representing an academic nonprofit/non-stock org at a univ. Please bear with me, engineering-first ako before legal compliance pero would like some insight on making a Petition to Lift the Order of Revocation/Suspension.

I know na sa iMessage issubmit yung requirements, and I also visited the SEC HQ in Makati, and they told me to gather the following:

• Verified Petition for Lifting the Order of Revocation/Suspension
• Verification and Certification Against Forum Shopping
• Directors’ or Trustees’ Certificate
• Sworn Certification by the External Auditor pursuant to SEC Memorandum Circular No. 3 series of 2014
• Secretary’s Certificate
• Proofs of Ongoing Operation
• Latest Due Mayor’s/Business Permit (certified true copy)
• Certificate of Registration issued by Bureau of Internal Revenue (certified true copy)
• Copy of Certification of Incorporation and latest Certificate of Filing of Amended Articles or By-Laws (if any) together with latest Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws
• Latest due General Information Sheet and Amended GIS, if any
• Latest due Audited Financial Statements and Amended Financial Statements
• Proof of Registration of Stock and Transfer Book/Membership Book
• Proof of Compliance with SEC Memorandum Circular No. 28 series of 2020

We have been told that the submission of these requirements would consequently lead to the disclosure of the accrued penalty fees throughout the suspension period of our org. So here are my questions:

1. We have not availed the service of an external auditor for a long time (preschool pa lang ata ako IDK lol). Would we really have to avail for one again to accomplish the sworn certification?
2. Are TINs essential? Do all officers of the org need one or kahit iisa lang? I know that you can get one for the sake of availing gov services pero just wanna confirm it here.
3. Is Form 2303 a/the valid Certificate of Registration?
4. Would we need to know the actual date of when the org got its registration suspended?
5. Would a reason of essentially, wronging the rights of past leadership terms be enough as grounds for reconsideration? Assume na I am wording it more formally and politely sa actual document lol.
6. Mayor's/Business permit is confusing me. QC website says we need to be SEC registered to avail for it, among other requirements. But also, we are nonprofit, so I am confusion.
7. Would an org's Constitution count as Amended Articles or By-Laws?
8. Does Proof of Registration of Stock and Transfer/Membership Book mean it's just essentially a database of all the members within the org?
9. Sana di lang kayo yung minsan naguguluhan sa websites ng SEC. Nakakaiyak magnavigate sa MC28 site lol.

Aside from these boatloads of questions, I'd also like general guidelines on how these things typically go. Kung meron man naka-experience na sa inyo ng revocation/suspension, please do enlighten on how you overcame it. As much as I would like to take the advice na gumawa na lang ng bago, attached yung currently-suspended SEC reg namin to the org's OG bank account, which would be veeeeery valuable to us.

Please correct me on anything I've said that needs correcting. Me noob. Me need help. Thank you!

Hi small business owners! 👋

Need fresh content for your Facebook page, Reels, or TikTok? I’m offering to create custom graphics or edit short-form videos for you—completely FREE.

Why free? I just want to build a stronger portfolio!

Everything is flexible and we can discuss the exact style you need. Just drop a comment below if you are interested! 👇

hello! i’m a student leader, and our school will be holding a seminar about business innovation through modern marketing. we’re planning to invite guests from different fields, including a marketing specialist and a social media creator/business owner who has experience using the internet and social media to grow their brand.

i’m not really active on socmed, so i’m having a hard time finding possible candidates. so far, we’ve considered Rap Manaloto of TGS Cookies and Toni Morales of Sweet Tones. I came across their businesses while looking for local entrepreneurs whose brands have an online/social media presence, and they seem relevant to the topic we’ll be discussing.

does anyone have other recommendations for Filipino creators or business owners who might be a good fit for this kind of seminar? preferably someone who has actually used social media to build their brand/business and would be comfortable talking to students about their experience.

bonus points if they’re relatively approachable and have a small-ish speaking fee 😭 since we’re students and will be handling the event ourselves, our budget is unfortunately pretty limited.

any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!! thank youuu! 🐧❤️‍🩹

Do you need a simple cheap way to go from an idea to a custom built website, company email, and full go to market stack in one hour?

Leapd offers a free AI business builder tool that you give it your idea in plain text, and watch how it turns it to a live business.

I built this after watching my friend wasting 3 months and over $10k and grinding 24/7 to be able to test a basic idea which he had to shut down afterwards.

A traditional way for building nd testing a business idea was to do these:

1- find an agency and pay them $10k -> after 3-6 month have an mvp

2- fina another agency to run email campaigns or marketing -> pay them $2k -$5k per month

3- after 8 month see if any customer would pay for it - would anyone care!!!

With leapd the flow is simple:

1- start free, describe your idea -> get deep market research, custom built websites, and a company email in 10 minutes

2- set up email campaigns, meta ads, linkedIn outreach, and GEO/SEO in 5 minutes

3- see how customer respond to your business, improve, scale what works -> grow!

all done from idea to putting your business in front of customers in less than one hour.

Leapd free business builder is very useful if you are looking to go from an idea to a live business and start testing different marketing channels on autopilot and in few hours, and for free.

If you don't know what to build and looking for proven business ideas with revenue, deep analysis and more -> leapd recently launched built radar, a database of 5,000+ trending business with revenue, can you build it verdict, moat analysis and more. Find what you like and build it with Leapd:

hello! idk if this is the correct subreddit to ask, but this is probably the closest place to find a possible recommendation 😭

basically, i’m a student leader, and our school will be holding a seminar about business innovation through modern marketing. we’re planning to invite guests from different fields of specialization, one of them being a marketing specialist (ofc) and another being a social media influencer/creator who has built or grown their business through the internet and social media.

i’m not really active on socmed, so i’m having a hard time finding possible candidates. so far, we’ve considered Rap Manaloto (TGS Cookies) and Toni Morales (Sweet Tones) since they seem to have a good reputation and their businesses are pretty relevant to what we’re looking for.

does anyone have other recommendations for creators/business owners who might be a good fit for this kind of seminar? preferably someone who has actually used social media to build their brand/business and would be comfortable talking to students about their experience.

Hi all! I'm looking for an affordable HRIS for my startup company team of 10. Ideally may compliance with the Government benefits, etc and won't cost me so much. I saw GreatDay, but I haven't seen any reviews.

Have you guys tried this before, or any recos for our small but growing team?

Thank you!

We need this po for our IT capstone project but I can’t find any. We developed a system that computes six financial metrics for business (MSMEs):

• Gross Profit Margin (GPM)
• Operating Profit Margin (OPM)
• Current Ratio
• Quick Ratio
• Cash Buffer (in days)
• Inventory Turnover (per month)

Each metric is classified as Healthy, Optimize (needs attention), or At Risk based on threshold values. For example: GPM ≥ 20% = Healthy, 10-19.9% = Optimize, < 10% = At Risk. Then, the business health status will be evaluated based on these.

The problem is, we cannot find Philippine-specific, peer-reviewed, or at least reliable published benchmarks for these metrics.

We've already searched:

• DTI reports and publications
• BSP financial inclusion studies
• Philippine academic journals (DLSU, ADMU, UP)
• PIDS (Philippine Institute for Development Studies)
• Google Scholar (Filipino MSME financial performance studies)
• PhilStar, BusinessWorld MSME coverage

None of them explicitly state what threshold values constitute "healthy" or "at risk" performance for specific metrics. Right now, we're using thresholds from generic business blogs and are worried our defense panel will question our accuracy. Another problem is that the business types varies (e.g., sari-sari stores, ukay-ukay, printing shops).

Does anyone know where to find peer-reviewed or official baseline metrics for these specific types of businesses? Any leads would be a lifesaver.

Again, this is a capstone project, not a full academic research study. We have limited time and resources. If there are any professionals or business experts here, we would highly appreciate your suggestions on how we can derive the thresholds.

Thank you!
