The renewal can be processed as early as 180 days prior to the expiry,\u201d Tupas said.<\/p>\n<p>A business name registration, which is valid for five years, provides a legal personality to an enterprise. Being legitimate enables an enterprise to avail of assistance from government and private agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Although the penalty for failure to process or renew is minimal, erring establishments can be subjected to closure as business name registration is one of the requirements in obtaining a mayor\u2019s permit from the local government unit.<\/p>\n<p>Registrants are required to bring only photocopies of their valid identification cards.<\/p>\n<p>The DTI collects a fee of PHP230 from businesses in the barangays and PHP530 for those in cities and municipalities. The fee is PHP1,030 for regional businesses and PHP2,030 for those national in scope.<\/p>\n<p>Enterprises outside Bacolod may also process their business name registration in other Negosyo Centers located in the cities of Sipalay, Kabankalan, Himamaylan, La Carlota, Bago, Talisay, Silay, Victorias, Cadiz, Sagay, Escalante, and San Carlos.<\/p>\n<p>The DTI has also established Negosyo Centers in the towns of Hinoba-an, Cauayan, Binalbagan, Isabela, La Castellana, San Enrique, and EB Magalona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BACOLOD CITY\u00a0&#8212; Owners of enterprises in Negros Occidental are urged to process their business name registration with the Department of &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":180535,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-240910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","mauthors-erwin-nicavera","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240910"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240910\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":240911,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240910\/revisions\/240911"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
