and highly technical transactions.
2. STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR THE ISSUANCE OF LOCAL
BUSINESS LICENSES, CLEARANCES, PERMITS, CERTIFICATIONS, OR
AUTHORIZATIONS

because of the complaints of entrepreneurs that establishing a local business
is very tedious due to the difficulty in applying for permits, licenses, clearances
et al. RA 11032, in theory, have significantly solved this complaint by
streamlining the procedures for the issuances of business permits and other
necessary business requirements by implementing the following:

a. Coming up with a single or unified business application form which shall

be used in processing new applications for business permits and
business renewals. The new business application consolidates all the
information of the applicant or requesting party by various local
government departments, such as, but not limited to, the local taxes and
12
 clearances, building clearance, sanitary permit, zoning clearance, and
other specific LGU requirements, as the case may be, including the fire
clearance from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP).

service for the city/municipality’s business permitting and licensing
system to receive and process manual and/or electronic submission of

permits, environmental and agricultural clearances shall be issued
together with the business permit. • Business permits shall be valid for a
period of one (1) year. The city/municipality may have the option to
renew business permits within the first month of the year or on the
anniversary date of the issuance of the business permits.

3. Barangay clearances and permits related to doing business shall be applied,

issued, and collected at the city/municipality in accordance with the prescribed
processing time of this Act: Provided, That the share in the collections shall be
remitted to the respective Barangays.
4. ZERO CONTACT POLICY
The Ease of Doing Business Law mandates that there shall be ZERO
CONTACT POLICY between any government officer or employee and people
during applications and transactions except during the preliminary assessment
or when it is strictly necessary. This policy may reduce graft and corruption in
governmental transactions.
5. THE CITIZEN’S CHARTER
The government units, agencies, GOCCs, and others shall make their
respective most current and updated service standards to be known as the
Citizen’s Charter in the form of information billboards which shall be posted at
the main entrance of offices or at the most conspicuous place, in their
respective websites and in the form of published materials written either in
English, Filipino, or in the local dialect that detail:

13

(e) The document/s to be presented by the applicant or requesting party, if
necessary; (f) The amount of fees, if necessary; and

6. ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR BUSINESSES

mandating online business registration. The Department of Information and
Communications Technology (DICT) has been tasked by RA 11032 to
establish, operate, and maintain a CENTRAL BUSINESS PORTAL (CBD).
The CBP shall serve as a central system to receive applications and capture
application data involving business-related transactions, including primary and
secondary licenses, and business clearances, permits, certifications, or
authorizations issued by the LGUs.

RA 11032 further mandates the DICT to create a Philippine Business

Databank (PBD). The PBD will provide government agencies and local
government units access to data and information of registered business
entities for purposes of verifying the validity, the existence of and other
relevant information pertaining to business entities.
