PEZA Registration Service
PEZA Registration is the process through which businesses can register with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) to operate in designated Special Economic Zones (Ecozones) in the Philippines. PEZA, a bureau under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), promotes investment by offering businesses a range of incentives to establish and operate within these Ecozones.

Document Submission for Pre-Screening
We start by gathering and submitting the required application documents for pre-screening. This ensures that your business meets the basic criteria for PEZA registration before moving to the next step.

Application Fee Payment
After pre-screening approval, we help you pay the application fee and secure the official receipt. This step is essential for processing the application further.

Submission of Accomplished Application Form and Documents
Once the fee is paid, we guide you through submitting the completed application form and any additional documents needed. This includes business registration details, project descriptions, and investment information.

Board Resolution Drafting
We assist in preparing the necessary documentation to obtain the Board Resolution, which formalizes your application. This step involves waiting for PEZA’s decision to proceed with registration based on the review of submitted materials.

Final Registration and Agreement Signing
Once the pre-registration requirements are completed, we assist with paying the final registration fee and guide you through signing the registration agreement with PEZA. This finalizes the process and grants your business the necessary certifications for operating within a PEZA zone.
