Mayor’s Permit Application
LGU Business Permit Processing for Legal Operation in City or Municipality
This service handles the filing, coordination, and issuance of your Mayor’s Permit—a mandatory business permit from your city or municipality. JKNC facilitates end-to-end LGU engagement, inspection scheduling, and document submission to secure your permit to operate legally.
Who Is This For?
All businesses operating in physical locations (main office, branch, store) in the Philippines. Required for startups, freelancers, and formal corporations.
How Long Does It Take?
5–15 business days depending on the LGU's processing volume and clearance requirements.
What If I Don’t Have All My Information Yet?
JKNC will assist in compiling and preparing incomplete documents and coordinate barangay and engineering clearances.
Will JKNC Do the Filing/Execution?
Yes. Unless advisory-only is selected, JKNC will manage all LGU coordination, submission, inspection, and release.
Will It Be Accepted by Government Agencies and Bodies?
Yes. This is an official LGU permit required by BIR, DTI/SEC, and banks.
Can Foreign Entities Use This?
Yes, provided they have an existing SEC registration and local Philippine office.
