Corporate compliance
services in the Philippines
A foothold in Indonesia without a full company. A representative office lets a foreign business set up a legal presence for research, liaison and promotion while it decides whether to commit to a PT PMA.
Understanding compliance
What Philippine corporations must keep up with
A Philippine corporation’s obligations do not end at registration. The SEC requires annual reportorial filings, the BIR expects returns on its own calendar, and corporate records must reflect every change in directors, officers, shareholders and capital as it happens.
The consequences of neglect are concrete: monetary penalties that grow with the delay, loss of good standing that blocks banking and bidding, and, for persistent non-filing, revocation of the certificate of registration itself. Compliance is also what investors and acquirers examine first in due diligence, so clean records protect your company’s value, not just its standing.
Most of our clients hand us the full calendar: we track what is due, prepare it, and file it, and involve them only where a signature or a decision is genuinely required.
