DTI Sole Proprietorship Registration
Complete Business Name Registration for Sole Proprietors via DTI
This deliverable ensures your sole proprietorship is legally recognized by securing your business name and completing the necessary filings with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). This is a foundational step to start operations, open bank accounts, and comply with LGU, BIR, and other agencies.
