Incorporate a Company in the Philippines – Here's What You Need to Know

Incorporating a company in Philippines is a formal legal process governed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). With economic reforms, tax incentives, and a supportive investment climate, the country is ideal for entrepreneurs and foreign investors looking to expand in Asia.

Who Can Incorporate a Company?

• Local Citizens: Can fully own and operate most business types

• Foreigners: Allowed to incorporate companies with 100% ownership in many industries, provided they meet capital and sector eligibility under the Foreign Investment Negative List (FINL)
