Why is it important to have a Business Plan?
Even the smallest business can benefit from writing up a business plan. In short, a
business plan allows you to communicate your vision to others and persuade them to help
you meet your goals. It will include thorough market research and detailed information
about your marketing strategies, target audience, staff, obstacles and goals.
They assist in getting financing for a project, help in the decision-making process of
whether to proceed with a business, help an entrepreneur stay on track and meet goals,
and allow for business improvements.

How to register your
business and other
registering agencies
4 steps to register your
business
As stated in the Department of Trade and Industry’s MSME Publications, here’s the
process flow on how to register your business.
Step 1: Business entity registration
A.) Sole proprietorship – Register with the Department of Trade and Industry
B.) Partnership/Corporation – Register with the Securities and Exchange
Commission
C.) Cooperative – Register with the Cooperative Development Authority
Step 2: Business permit
Apply for the business permit and license from the city or municipality where the
business is located. Secure sector-specific clearances such as Department of Tourism
(DOT) for travel agencies, Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) for food and
cosmetics, and Department of Education (DepEd) for learning centers.

Step 3: Register with BIR
Register with the Bureau of Internal Revenue District Office where the business is going
to be located for authority to print Invoice and Book of Journal.
C.) PhilHealth
D.) PAG-IBIG
The business plan format will change depending on why you’re writing it and who you’re writing it for. If you’re seeking
validation, it’s best to start with a simple one-page pitch. On the other hand, if you’re pursuing funding, you’ll need a
professional, formal business plan.
Regardless of the intentions behind your business plan, having a checklist of what needs to be included is helpful to make
sure you’re effectively getting your ideas and strategies down on paper.
