hello po..gusto ku lang po magtanung.. i am planning po na mg lending,, pero ang magfifinance po is nasa ibang bansa.. shall it considered pa rin po ba na corporation.. pwede po ba na sa single proprietorship lang iregister since isa lang nman po ang magfifinance.. thanks po sa pagsagot
Hello po DTI Pano PO ba mag apply Ng DATI permit thru online? Nag start PO ako Ng small business.Please reply po at my email thank you po.
Magandang araw po DTI. Gusto ko po lang sana magtanong. Gusto ko po sanang magstart nang isang maliit lamang po na sari sari store. Mga nasa 3000-5000.00 lang naman po ang puhunan ko. Mga magkano po kaya ang babayaran ko para maging legal po ang pagtitinda ko? Baka po kase sitahin po ako kung may mag inspeksyon. Kinakailangan po ba talaga na kunan ko pa po nang business permit sa city hall o pde pong sa barangay lamang po? Baka po kase napakamahal nang permit na babayaran ko. Para lamang po sana may mapagkuhaan nang pamasahe at baon sa 5 kong students. Salamat po sa sasagot.
Good afternoon! What are the requirements for dti renewal for sari sari store?
Eto requirements para sa P-3. Yung plan namin, maliit lang na sari-sari store sana. Kailangan pa talaga dumaan sa ganitong process? Tsk.
Ang haba naman po iaccomoplish parang pagud na agad ako nakikita ko pa Lang ang requirements.bakit d po natin isummerize yan
parang napakahirap talagang magkaroon ng business sa pinas. at karamihan sa mga agency na ito eh hindi pwedeng magapply online like getting a TIN. just this alone will probably take you a couple of months bago ka mag-karoon ng tin. alam ko marami sa atin kababayan ang may planong magnegosyo sa pinas lalo na yong working abroad pero sa umpisa pa lang pahirapan na. Ako gusto ko talaga pero kulang ang time ko na lakarin lahat ng mga requirements na mga ito kung 1 month lang ang stay ko sa pinas. Sana in the future there we’ll be a way to make it easier. salamat po.
may i ask kung paano po mag-apply ng DTI renewal? ano po ang mga requirements ?
good day! sa mga interested may available pa na supply ng bagoong. thank you.

Hi guys,
Sa dami ng babayaran at gastosin sa pag register, hwag na nga tayo mag business…
Sa gastosin pa lang, ubos na ang capital natin.
Kaya nga po ang ibang foreigner eh ayaw magtayo ng business d2 sa Pinas kc nga ang dami tsetsebureche. Ang dami docs na dapat isayos at isikasuhin. Ubos ang buwan, isang taon sa kakaayos tapos pera lng pala hanap ng bawat dept na iyong pupuntahan. Meaning, pudpod na sakong ng sapatos mo eh ndi pa din matapos tapos.
yon na nga.. tulad ng sss requirements… hindi ba pwedeng i bypass yan kung wala ka naman balak umutang sa sss?
