Dear Sharmaine Laye,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Sep 12, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Micro Enterprises in Tarlac.

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. 

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 Offices (BPLOs) of all the cities and municipalities in Tarlac for proper assistance.
