Starting your own business in the Philippines? One of your first steps is securing your DTI Registration Form.
To make it easier, the HemosPH Resource Hub now offers a free downloadable copy of the DTI Sole Proprietorship Application Form—so you can start your registration even before heading to your local DTI office or Negosyo Center.
📄 What Is the DTI Business Name Registration Form?
This is the official form issued by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) for those registering a business as a sole proprietor. It allows you to secure exclusive rights to your chosen business name and operate legally in the Philippines.
✅ Who Needs This Form?
You need this form if you are:
- Starting a sole proprietorship (e.g. sari-sari store, online shop, food stall)
- Renewing an existing DTI registration
- Applying for a Barangay, City, Regional, or National business name
This is one of the first legal steps in formalizing your business—required before you can register with the BIR, LGU, SSS, and other government agencies.
📥 What’s Included in the Form?
The PDF covers all necessary fields such as:
- Owner’s complete information
- Business address
- Territorial scope (Barangay to National)
- Three proposed business names
- Contact numbers and email
- Declaration and consent clauses
📎 Reminders Before Submitting:
- Bring 1 valid government-issued ID
