Company Formation

Company formation in the Philippines offers entrepreneurs and investors a scalable, legally distinct business structure with limited liability. Governed by the Revised Corporation Code, it allows for both One Person and multi-owner corporations, domestic or foreign-owned, whether for-profit or non-profit. The process includes various ownership structures, formation steps, and regulatory requirements.

Business Permit Registration

EH-SEHK offers fast, expert help in securing business permits (Mayor’s Permit) in the Philippines. This permit, issued by the LGU’s BPLO, is essential after SEC or DTI registration to legally operate and avoid penalties. Requirements include SEC/DTI papers, barangay clearance, lease proof, valid IDs, and other possible permits based on business type. EH-SEHK streamlines the process, handling paperwork, renewals, and compliance, and integrates this with other registrations like BIR, SSS, and PhilHealth, ensuring full legal setup for your business.

Statutory Registration

Register your business with SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG in the Philippines.

Once the business has already been registered with the SEC or DTI and has secured its business permit and BIR Certificate of Registration, the next essential step is completing the registrations with the statutory government agencies: the Social Security System (SSS), PhilHealth (PHIC), and the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF or Pag-IBIG). These agencies play a critical role in providing government-mandated benefits to employees and ensuring legal compliance for employers in the Philippines.

Why Statutory Registration Matters

All employers in the Philippines are required by law to register their business and employees with the SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG. Failure to register can result in legal penalties, delayed operations and disqualification from issuing formal employment contracts and benefits. Most importantly, employers fulfill their obligation to provide their employees with government-mandated health care, social insurance and housing benefits.

Requirements for SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Employer Registration

Requirements may slightly vary between branches but these are the standard documents that needs to be prepared and submitted:

For Employer Registration in all the three Agencies

  • SEC Certificate of Incorporation or DTI Registration
  • BIR Certificate of Registration (Form 2303)
  • Mayor's/Business Permit
  • Articles of Incorporation and By-laws (for corporations)
  • Valid government-issued ID of the company's authorized representative
  • Sketch or location map of the business address
  • List of initial employees with start dates and salaries

Agency-Specific Notes:

SSS (Social Security System):

Employers must accomplish the SSS Form R-1 and R-1A for employer and employee enrollment and submit monthly contributions once employees are onboarded.

PhilHealth:

Requires submission of Employer Data Record (ER1) and Report of Employee Members (ER2). Contributions are based on a tiered income bracket and submitted monthly.

Pag-IBIG (HDMF):

Employers file the Employer's Data Form (EDF) and Membership Savings Remittance Forms. Pag-IBIG contributions are also monthly and partly shouldered by the employer.

BIR Registration

Once a business is registered with the SEC or DTI and has secured its business permit, the next crucial step is obtaining a BIR Certificate of Registration. This certificate legally allows the business to operate, issue official receipts, and comply with national tax laws.

Why BIR registration matters:

  • It's legally required to operate.
  • It allows you to issue official receipts.
  • It ensures you're paying the correct taxes.
  • It's a key requirement before registering with SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG.

EH-SEHK takes care of everything:

  • Preparing and filing BIR registration forms
  • Coordinating with the BIR on your behalf
  • Assisting with books of accounts registration
  • Processing Authority to Print (ATP) for official receipts
