Corporate secretarial & legal

We keep your company in good standing — the records, the statutory filings, and the permits that keep you compliant year after year.

What it is

The quiet work that keeps a company compliant

A registered Philippine corporation carries ongoing obligations beyond tax: it has to hold annual meetings, keep proper corporate records, file a General Information Sheet and audited financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and renew its local business permits each year.

We act as the steady hand behind those obligations — preparing board and stockholder minutes, maintaining the statutory records, filing the GIS and other SEC submissions on time, and managing the annual permit renewals so your company never slips out of good standing.

FAQs

Common questions

What is a General Information Sheet (GIS)?

The GIS is an annual SEC filing that reports your company's directors, officers, shareholders, and capital structure. It's generally due within 30 days of your annual stockholders' meeting, and keeping it current is essential to staying in good standing.

Do we really need to hold annual meetings?

Yes — Philippine corporations are required to hold annual stockholders' and board meetings, and to document them. We prepare the notices, minutes, and resolutions so the requirement is met properly.

When are business permits renewed?

Local business permits (barangay and mayor's permit) are renewed annually, typically in January. Missing the window brings penalties, so we calendar and handle the renewals each year.

Can you act as our corporate secretary?

We provide corporate-secretarial support — maintaining records, preparing filings, and keeping the calendar. We'll confirm the right arrangement for your company during the consultation.
