Setting up a business in the Philippines as a foreigner
November 12 @ 11:15 - 11:45
I have moved to El Nido, Palawan in the UK with my wife after a 30+ years career in hospitality in the UK. We are now setting up a coworking business with two brand new sites in El Nido.
During my talk I will discuss our move to the Philippines, establishing ourselves as foreigners in our local town and how we went about setting up our business here in the Philippines.
Key points will be:
- Initial soft approach – Getting to know your community and not jumping in both feet?
- Is doing business in the Philippines right for you?
- What is your motivation and does it match doing business here?
- Partners – Do you / Don’t you
- Ownership and Business classification (The rules, the % Ownership and the investment thresholds)
- Employment rules and regulations
- Business registration and permits
- Work visas for you as owners
