What Does Philippine Company Registration Actually Cost

The four blocks behind the price

One, SEC fees — set by capital and shareholder count, government-priced, no negotiation. Two, BIR and LGU fees — tax registration, invoicing authority, and the business permit each carry separate charges. Three, third-party costs — notarization of the articles, virtual office or lease costs. Four, service fees — the only negotiable line if you use an agent, and the only one that should stand alone. See the four-block cost breakdown.

What stretches the timeline

Time runs across four gates: SEC, BIR, the LGU, and the social agencies. Common delays: a near-duplicate company name forcing a re-check, articles needing revision, incomplete address documents, or an industry requiring extra sector approval. Full timeline in the stage-by-stage breakdown.

How to ask for a real number

Three questions: can you run the government fees against my actual capital and shareholder count, can you separate service fees from pass-through costs, and which steps might need extra approval for my industry.
