Dear BEATRICE,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Sep 05, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for The Business Permits Data of Makati City.

Response to your request

Please be informed that "business permits" is different from "registered Business Name".  All we can provide is the number of registered Business Names for sole proprietorship.

Also, DTI Business Name registration is not a permit or license to engage in any type of business since the permit to operate is issued by the Business Permit and Licensing Office of the concerned LGU.

Thus, if you are looking for the actual number and details of operating businesses, you may inquire with the Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO) of Makati City since they are the ones who issue a business permit to operate.
