Streamlining Business Registration in LGUs

 This handbook is both a recipe book and a toolkit to motivate and enable local government units (LGUs) to streamline their respective systems and procedures on business permits and licenses (BPL)

It is hoped that by streamlining their business permit and licensing system (BPLS), LGUs will: (a) encourage informal businesses to register, (b) spur the creation of new businesses, and (c) generate more revenues. consequently, the aggregate results will lead to the creation of more employment opportunities and more social services and benefits for the citizenry.

May this handbook therefore inspire other LGUs and the entire government bureaucracy, and allow them to see that cutting red tape to improve service delivery to businesses has a far-reaching impact in improving the business and investment climate of the country. In effect, such action is a form of investment that will yield multiple dividends and profits a few years onwards!
