Corporate & Commercial Law Lawyer in Quezon City
We register, restructure, and advise Quezon City companies from an office in Bagong Pag-asa — SEC incorporation, foreign ownership structuring, shareholders' agreements, commercial contracts, and the City Hall permits that follow. Most incorporations for a Quezon City business can be completed in a matter of weeks once documents are in order.
A Quezon City company usually needs four things in sequence: SEC or DTI registration, barangay clearance, the Quezon City mayor's permit from the Business Permits and Licensing Office, and BIR registration with the revenue district office covering the address. Getting the sequence wrong is the most common cause of delay, because each step asks for proof of the one before it. We manage the whole chain and flag zoning or locational clearance issues before the lease is signed.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to set up a company in Quezon City?
With complete documents, SEC registration typically takes two to four weeks, with the barangay clearance, mayor's permit, and BIR registration following. Foreign-owned entities and regulated activities take longer.
Do we need a physical Quezon City address to register here?
Yes — a registered address within the city is required for the mayor's permit, and the lease or proof of ownership is part of the application. A virtual office may be acceptable for some activities but not all.
Can you act as retained corporate counsel for a Quezon City business?
Yes. Many of our local clients keep us on retainer for annual SEC filings, board minutes, general information sheets, contract review, and changes in directors or capital.
