IN a bid to provide ease of doing business in Manila, Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno Domagoso recently launched the Bagong Maynila Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS) at the ground floor of the Taft wing of Manila City Hall.
With the new one-stop shop, Manileños will now only have to go through three steps—file, pay and claim—in just one window to apply for a business permit. As long as business permit applicants file their complete requirements, the mayor said they can get their business permits and licenses in just one day.
Domagoso and the SM Group also signed an agreement wherein the activity area of SM City Manila may be used by the Manila City Hall as the BOSS’s satellite branch free of charge.
The satellite branch is set to open in January 2020 when businesses are expected to file their applications for renewal of business permits.
