After securing Certificate of Registration, Certificate of Barangay Clearance and registration with the SSS,

the next step is to register and obtain a permit from the local Municipality closer to your office. The
permit affirms that your business is compliant with the municipality or city’s ordinances and standards
such as sanitary, fire and safety and other clearances.

Basic requirements in obtaining a Mayor’s Permit:

Business Permit Application Form
•Barangay Clearance
•Certificate of SEC Registration
•Public Liability Insurance (for Restaurants, Cinemas, Malls, etc.)
•Authorization Letter of the owner/s with ID
•Contract of a lease (if renting a space) or land title/tax declaration (if you own the place of business)
•SSS Certification or Clearance
•Community Tax Certificate or CEDULA

Depending on the type of business, other documents may also be required. Business permits are
renewed every year.
