In 2025, the entrepreneurial spirit in the Philippines is stronger than ever. With job instability still lingering from the pandemic years and the rise of digital platforms offering new income streams, more Filipinos are choosing to take control of their financial future by starting their own businesses.
From online reselling and food delivery startups to digital services and eco-friendly brands, the landscape is shifting. The barriers to entry are lower, and the motivation is higher—especially among millennials and Gen Z who value flexibility, purpose, and independence.
But while starting a business sounds exciting, the registration process can be a major hurdle—especially for those juggling full-time jobs or managing side hustles.
Here's What You Need to Register a Business in the Philippines:

Sole Proprietorship (DTI)
