Department of Trade and Industry(DTI)

Hi, I am a 4th year college BS Management Accounting Student, I would like to request for a list of SMEs in quezon city for our research entitled “ The Relationship of Ambidextrous Leadership and Follower Innovative Work Behavior in the Accounting and/or Finance Department of Small, and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Quezon City.”
We are in need of the list for our survey proper, so that we know which enterprises belong in SMEs, a directory with/without address would be much appreciated.


Thank you so much, this would be a great help for our college paper.

Dear Elizabeth,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Dec 14, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for List/directory of small and medium enterprises in quezon city.

Response to your request

Please be informed that only sole proprietorships are registered with DTI, hence not all operating businesses may have been registered with DTI. 

Also, kindly be advised that business name registration with the DTI is NOT a permit or a license to engage in any kind of business and that the adoption of the Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC) in business name registration is solely for the purpose of classifying the primary business activities (product/s handled or service/s rendered) of those business names registered with the DTI. It is not intended to limit the activities of a business.

Similarly, please note that business name registration in DTI does not classify an enterprise as micro, small, medium or large as we do not require the capitalization in the registration.

Any business, however, needs to be registered with the Local Government Unit - Business Permit and Licensing Office where the business is located (business address).  In this context, we suggest that you contact the Local Government Unit - Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO) of Quezon City for proper assistance.
