Corporate & Commercial Law Lawyer in Laguna

We advise Laguna locators and businesses in Santa Rosa, Cabuyao, Calamba, and Biñan on corporate structuring and registration, PEZA and incentive-linked requirements, supply and manufacturing agreements, technology licensing, and corporate compliance.

For a Laguna locator, the corporate structure and the incentive registration are one problem, not two. Ownership structure affects which incentives are available; the registered activity defines what the entity may lawfully do and how income is taxed; and the registration conditions carry ongoing reporting that a purely corporate adviser will miss. We set the structure with the incentive position in view, and we keep the corporate records aligned with what was registered, because divergence between the two is what surfaces on a compliance review.

Frequently asked questions

What does PEZA registration require?

Location in a registered zone or facility, an eligible activity, committed investment and employment, and continuing reporting. Incentives attach to the registered activity, so scope changes need approval rather than a quiet expansion.

Can we change our registered activity later?

Yes, through an amendment with the registering authority. Operating outside the registered scope before approval risks both the tax treatment and the registration.

Do we need a Philippine director or officer?

Corporations must satisfy the statutory requirements for officers, including residency requirements for certain positions. We advise on what your structure requires and how to satisfy it practically.
