How To Secure a Mayors Permit For A Home Office In Mandaluyong

I was advised by DTI to postpone my Business Permit for January 2018 to maximise the payment for the year.  But due to limited resources, I was only only able to process it this March.

Another factor is that the Business Permit and Licensing division of the city is full during the start of the year for renewals.

Before I started, I went to the City Hall to secure the form and get the list of requirements.

Issuance of Mayor's Permit (New Business)
Requirements:

1. Filled up business permit application form
2. Original and Photocopies of the following
• Barangay Clearance (Current Year)
• Business Name Registration from the Department of Trade and industry
• Community Tax Certificate for the current year
• Lease Contract indicating area used in business.  If place of business is rented, (mayors permit of the lessor must be attached), if place is owned, submit proof of ownership (TCT or tax declaration)
• Photocopy of Building Permit and/or Occupancy Permit issued by the Engineering Department.
• Two (2) pictures of the establishment (one photo taken in front that shows left and right neighbours, while the other picture must show the external structure of the place of business)
• List of appliances and equipments.
• Fire Safety Inspection Certificate (FSIC) issued by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP)
• Comprehensive General Liability Insurance (CGL) Policy if warranted.
• Other additional documentary requirements from concerned government offices and agencies.

I came with my Barangay Clearance which you can easily secure from your Barangay Hall for 565 pesos,  my DTI Certificate, a certification from my Condo and the Loan Agreement with my bank.  I also provided photos of the building and my unit.

The first step is to fill up the form and to submit your documents to the officer of the day.  He assessed my papers and told me to proceed to the engineering department to have the area checked and to the Sanitary Department to have my papers stamped.

The Engineering Department asked me to secure a certification for the area of my home office.

I went back to my building admin to secure the certification.  They gave me a certification but it does not specify that its for a home office.  I went back to the City Hall again, revised my area to 5 sqm and they processed it.

I was asked to pay for insurance and the fees.  The Fire Certificate is paid on a different building.  I left the City Hall with The Tax Order of payment which I can use to get a BIR application.

The total amount I paid was 2965.62, plus 30 pesos for the Notarial Fee and another 1000 pesos for the Insurance.

I am now awaiting the Fire Inspection, but in the meantime processing my BIR application.

How To Register Your Business Name in Mandaluyong

The first thing you need to do is get a business name registration form from the Department of Trade and Industry.  You can fill out forms online, but its still best to visit the regional office close to you.  They have rules on the business name composition, and you can revise and edit on the spot.

Step 1: Register your Business Name

The closest regional office is right across SM Megamall.  There's a DTI Satellite Office within the city hall complex, but if your area of coverage extends beyond the city, you need to visit the Area III office.

I'm registering Bride Guide Philippines, but ended up having a totally different business name.

DTI Area III Office

Tips in visiting DTI

1. Make sure you bring a valid identification with you for verification.
2. Come early, depending on the influx of applicants, they usually stop accepting after 12 noon.
3. The area has limited parking, my suggestion is to park either at Starmall or Megamall, then walk your way to the building.
4. Make sure you know the Barangay where your business address is located.  It does not have a bearing on the scope of business, but will affect the processing of your Mayor's permit, because the pre requisite is a Barangay Clearance.
5. Fees are dependent on the scope of area of your business, whether its Barangay, Citywide, Regional, or Nationwide.
• Barangay: 200 pesos
• Citywide: 500 pesos
• Regional: 1000 pesos
• National: 2000 pesos
6. Make sure to bring extra 15 pesos for the documentary stamp.

The process is relatively easy.  They will first usher to the pre assessment desk.  They will review your documents and when everything is cleared, will give you a number for processing.   You just need to wait for your number to be called.  Here, they will review your business name.  Once you agree on the format that's acceptable, they will direct you to the cashier for payment.  After paying the correct fees, they will call you again for the release of your DTI Certificate.

It is important to note, that the certificate cannot be reprinted throughout the duration of its validity, so be careful not lose or damage it.

Surprisingly, I was in and out of the agency in no time.
