Corporate & Commercial Law Lawyer in Mandaluyong City
We register and advise Mandaluyong businesses — SEC and DTI registration, mayor's permits, franchise and distribution agreements, supplier and concession contracts, and the corporate housekeeping that keeps a growing retail or service business compliant.
Mandaluyong's commercial base is retail, food service, and mid-market services, and the contract that decides most outcomes is the one with the mall, the franchisor, or the principal supplier. Concession and franchise agreements typically set minimum guarantees, percentage rent, fit-out obligations, and termination rights that heavily favour the other side. Those terms are more negotiable before signing than most operators assume, and far cheaper to fix then than to litigate later.

Frequently asked questions
What should we check in a franchise agreement?
Territory and exclusivity, the real total investment including required fit-out and supplies, renewal terms, transfer restrictions, post-termination non-compete, and what happens to the site and equipment when the term ends.
How do we register a small business in Mandaluyong?
DTI registration for a sole proprietorship or SEC registration for a corporation or partnership, then barangay clearance, the Mandaluyong mayor's permit, and BIR registration. We handle the sequence.
