Barangay Business Clearance

Foundational Local Permit Required for Mayor’s Permit and LGU Compliance

 This service secures your Barangay Business Clearance, a preliminary permit issued by your local barangay that certifies your business is allowed to operate in that jurisdiction. It is a mandatory step before applying for a Mayor’s Permit and registering with other government agencies.

Who Is This For?
All new or renewing businesses with a physical address in any Philippine barangay. Required before proceeding to city/municipal-level permits.

How Long Does It Take?
1–3 business days (faster than city-level permits; may vary during peak renewal months).

What If I Don’t Have All My Information Yet?
JKNC can help prepare the location sketch, identify appropriate barangay, and guide you through Cedula or CTC issuance.

Will JKNC Do the Filing/Execution?
Yes. JKNC handles end-to-end coordination and filing unless you choose advisory-only.

Will It Be Accepted by Government Agencies and Bodies?
Yes. This clearance is officially required by BPLO, BIR, and for other business licensing needs.

Can Foreign Entities Use This?
Yes, as long as they have a legally leased or owned business location in the barangay. JKNC assists with local navigation and documentation.

Is This Confidential and Protected?
Yes. Barangay filings are limited to operational info, and JKNC safeguards client identity and records.
