Abstract — SEC registration is only step one. The teams that win also deliver tax IDs, payroll, and bank packs aligned to your business model.

Snapshot

  • Scope: SEC, BIR, city permits, payroll, bank, visas.
  • Deliverables: Registration stack, lease, payroll, attested bank statements.
  • Timeline: 6–12 weeks typical.
  • Fee: Setup + monthly compliance.

Selection criteria

  • Multi-agency navigation; in-branch bank ties.
  • Document indexing & bilingual support.
  • PRA/SRRV familiarity if owners are retirees.

Red flags

Travel insurance as “health cover,” incomplete translations, wire attempts without bank letters.

FAQs

  • Remote OK? Some steps yes; expect in-person KYC.
  • Time deposits for SRRV? Program-dependent (verify latest).

Editor’s Note: In the Philippines, permit choreography = speed.
