Good day.

I am a student in the Ateneo Graduate School of Business and we were tasked to report on this topic. This being an entrepreneurial site, we would like to ask as to what are the basic government requirements for starting up a biz.

This would also be helpful for me personally as I am contemplating on starting one for myself. Thanks

Hi!

I actually got the answer from this forum under "starting up" . Someone asked about the papers needed in starting a business..

I just copied the one applicable to me.
