HOW TO GET MAYOR’S BUSINESS PERMIT | guideph.com

Mayor’s Permit or the local business permit ensures that you can legally operate your business and it complies with all the ordinances of a particular city or municipality where your business is operating.

Planning to start a business in your locality? Or maybe you already have one but don’t have a permit yet from your locality? Secure your business permit! However, securing a business permit can be a critical task. This simple guide for first-time business owners will help you apply for your mayor’s business permit properly.

What is the Mayor’s Permit?

A Mayor’s Permit or mostly known as Business Permit is a document that certifies that your business is legitimate and has the license to operate in the city or municipality where it is located and registered.

Business permits are issued by the local government unit (LGU) who controls the place of the business to ensure that the businesses pay taxes and comply with the regulations for safety, security, health, and sanitation.

A business can be fined with penalties or even imprisonment of the owner if you run an enterprise without a business permit.

What are the Requirements in Applying for Business Permit?

Preparing for the requirements for your business permit application can take a lot of time and effort because you have to secure other clearances and permits beforehand. Also, every LGU has its own particular set of requirements for business permit applications.

Here are the typical requirements you have to get in the following order:

Applicable business registration document:

Certificate of Business Name Registration (for single proprietors)

Articles of Partnership (for partnerships)

Articles of Incorporation (for corporations)

Certificate of Registration (for cooperatives/foundations/associations)

You can get the following at:

For single proprietors – Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)

For Partnerships and corporations – Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

For Cooperatives – Cooperative Development Authority (CDA)

For Foundations and associations – The regulating government agency

2. Barangay Business Clearance – This certifies that your business complies with the requirements of the barangay where your business operates. You can get it at the Barangay hall with jurisdiction over the business location.

3. Contract of Lease (if renting a commercial space) or Transfer Certificate of Title / Tax Declaration (if the property is owned) – You can get this on the owner or building administrator of the leased property (if renting)

4. Sketch and photos of the location – You can get this on the owner or building administrator of the leased property (if renting)

5. Locational Clearance / Zoning Clearance – This is for compliance with the city’s/municipality’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance. You can get this at the City Planning and Development Office of the city/municipal hall.

6. Occupancy Permit – This is proof that the structure where the business will operate has passed safety and health standards. You can obtain this from the Owner or building administrator of the leased property (if renting) or at the City Engineering Office of the city/municipal hall (if owned).

7. Public Liability Insurance – For protection against legal liabilities as a result of bodily injury/property damage to third parties in connection to the insured’s business operation. You can obtain this at any Insurance Commission-accredited insurance company.

8. Authorization letter/Special Power of Attorney and valid ID (if filed through a representative) – This is to certify that the person is authorized to transact on behalf of the business owner.

9. Community Tax Certificate (cedula) – You can get this from the City/Municipal hall.

Your LGU may set additional requirements, taxes, and fees for business permit applications. You may contact your Mayor’s office or visit your LGUs website to know what else you need to acquire, and how much your fees are.

How to Apply for Business Permit?

The process for new business permit applications varies per LGU. To give you an idea of what to expect in applying, here are the basic steps to remember when you apply for the mayor’s business permit.

STEP 1: Go to the Business Permit and Licensing Office located at the premises of the city/municipal hall having jurisdiction over your business location.

STEP 2: Secure and fill out the application form. The form is available on-site, or you can download it in advance from the LGU’s website.

STEP 3: Submit the fully-accomplished application form and other requirements. The personnel will evaluate your documents. Your application will also undergo an assessment of tax and fees.

The building fee will be evaluated by the City/Municipal Engineering Office. Give your building and occupancy permit, building location, and building area in square meters.

The Electrical Department will assess your place for your Certificate of Electrical Inspection.

Provide a Health and Sanitary permit from the Health and Sanitary Office. You will be required to have your employees to get drug tests and x-rays.

Secure a Fire Permit from the Bureau of Fire Protection.

Go to the office of the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator for zoning clearance.

STEP 4: Pay for the assessed tax and fees to the cashier (once approved). Receive your official receipt. You will be charged for the following fees:

Your Business

Mayor’s Permit Fee

Service Fee

Sanitary Fee

Local Fire Inspection Fee

Business Plate

STEP 5: Claim your business permit. The Business permit may be issued along with a registration plate/sticker or any other certificate. Make sure to display them notably in your store or office.

Things to Remember in Applying for the Mayor’s Business Permit

Complete other documents first. Other requirements in applying the mayor’s permit take a lot of time to secure, therefore it’s better to get them in advance to save some time that you may allot for your other activities in life.

Make time in visiting your LGU where your business is located to know more about the required documents needed in applying for the mayor’s permit. Since every LGU has its own specific set of required documents, it’s better to inquire and ask for more information personally to avoid common mistakes. Do not rely on everything that you read on the internet because most of them had based their application on their own municipality.

The application is done personally. A lot of first-time business owners might be wondering if there is an online service for a business permit application available that could save more time in applying, but sadly, most LGUs process walk-in applications only. In other words, you are required to get and submit your requirements personally or through your authorized representative to the city/municipal hall where your business is located.

You may think that applying for the mayor’s business permit is so complicated due to numerous requirements that you need to comply with, but the process itself is easier than you imagine.

Take note that business is important and should be renewed annually to avoid penalties and suspension of your business license.

Steps in Writing an Effective Resume

Since your future career depends on the quality of your resume, it is important to make the most out of it. Make it simple and concise.  Provide a clear structure so it satisfies your recruiter in the beginning.

STEP 1: Find the right resume format.

Resume formats differ in the qualifications they emphasize. So choose a format that highlights whatever you want recruiters to notice on your resume.

You may consider your work experience, skillset, career goals, and the job you’re applying for.

Here are the different resume formats you can choose from:

a. Reverse-chronological. This classic resume format that highlights career progression by listing work experience in reverse-chronological order, starting with the latest and working back through past jobs.

b. Functional.  It emphasizes an applicant’s skills rather than work experience.

c. Hybrid. It is a combination of both reverse-chronological and functional formats. This format consists of two parts: the first part highlights relevant qualifications and skills, while the second part lists your work history.

d. Infographic. This format uses graphic design elements such as colors, illustrations, icons, charts, and font styling instead of just basic text.

STEP 2: Type in your header.

Always put your name and contact information at the top regardless of the resume format you use.

Must-have information on a resume header:

Full name

Location

Telephone number/Mobile number

Email address

Optional information on a resume header:

Professional title (e.g., “Marketing Professional,” “Web Developer,” etc.)

LinkedIn profile URL

Website/Blog URL

Link to an online portfolio

STEP 3: Write the introduction.

The introduction highlights the candidate’s most important qualification and it’s placed somewhere at the top of the page.

There are different ways to present a resume introduction. The right option depends on the job applied for, as well as the candidate’s skillsets and work experience.

a. Qualifications Summary. This is a list of key career accomplishments with four to six bullet points. Use this type of intro if you have a great list of work experience with quantitative achievements and distinct skill sets.

b. Career Objective. This field states in two to three sentences why you want a specific position in the company. This introduction is ideal for fresh graduates, entry-level candidates, and career-switchers with little or no relevant work experience.

c. Professional Profile. This introduction combines the qualifications summary and career objective and its perfect if you are applying for a position in the same industry, have particular expertise in your field, and have a major career achievement to highlight.

d. Professional Summary. This section highlights the top skills, experience, and achievements in your career. You can also mention the job title and years of experience.

STEP 4: Make a list of your relevant work experience.

The work experience section is your chance to prove your qualifications to possible employers.

Just choose up to three to five experiences that are most relevant to the job you’re applying for instead of listing your entire career.

How to list work experience on your resume.

The standard format for listing work experience includes the following information:

Job title

Company name and location

Employment dates

Key responsibilities and achievements

STEP 5: Add-in your Educational background.

The education section shows that you meet any academic requirements for a specific role, such as a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a related field.

How to list education on your resume.

List your education by starting with your highest degree. Follow this format:

Degree

School name

Location (city/province or country, if you studied abroad)

Graduation date (month and year)

Honors and awards received (e.g., cumlaude, dean’s lister, leadership excellence, scholarship, etc.)

If you have a college degree, no need to add your high school and grade school information.

STEP 6: Male a list of your hard and soft skills

Your resume should have a good mix of hard and soft skills because employers are looking for both in a candidate.

Hard skills are qualitative abilities that get a job done like a video editing, bookkeeping, and social media management.

Soft skills are personality traits such as leadership, professionalism, teamwork, initiative, persistence, and self-motivation.

How to list skills on your resume.

Select five to eight of your hard and soft skills that are most important for the position you’re applying for.

If you have a long list of hard skills, group them into categories. For example, if you’re a virtual assistant, you can categorize your skills into administrative, email management, social media management, etc.

For each hard skill, include your proficiency level if you are a beginner, intermediate, advanced, or an expert.

STEP 7: Personalize your resume with additional sections.

Include a personal touch to your resume. Depending on your profession or industry and what you prefer to highlight, here are the optional sections you may list on your resume.

a. Certifications/Licenses. If you’re in a profession with certification or licensing requirements (such as nursing, medicine, and engineering), make sure to include any relevant information in your resume.

b. Volunteer Work.  Your volunteering experience is worth adding to your resume. Studies find that listing volunteer work raises a candidate’s chance of getting hired. By showing that you help the community, you give the impression that you’re a loyal, committed employee.

For this section, the typical format lists the name of the organization, inclusive dates of volunteer work, achievements, and a short description of volunteer experience.

c. Languages. The ability to communicate in two or more languages is a valuable asset especially in fields such as translation, ESL teaching, writing, and customer service.

d. Hobbies and Interests. The hobbies and interests section may be the least important section, but it can boost your resume if it’s related to the position you’re applying for.

STEP 8: Review your resume multiple times.

Save yourself from possible humiliation and rejection due to obvious mistakes. When you’ve finished writing your resume and cover letter, edit and proofread them multiple times to catch and correct errors.

Remember these pointers when proofreading your resume and cover letter:

Read the document slowly from the beginning. Then read it backward per phrase. Pay close attention to every phrase.

Proofread your resume several times at different times of the day.

Run a grammar and spelling check on your computer. You can install online tools like Grammarly to help you spot errors you missed from your manual proofreading.

Ask a friend or family member for help. Take note of their feedback and suggestions for improvement.

TIPS IN PREPARING YOUR RESUME

Below are the tips that might help you in preparing your resume:

Select the best 2×2 photo that you have – you should look presentable and pleasant to the eyes of the employer. To make it simple, you should look professional. Remember that the first impression lasts! The background of your photo should be plain white.

Choose a font that is readable and looks formal – Arial, Calibri, and, Times New Roman. Also, consider that your font size shouldn’t be that too small or too large. Font size 12 is the standard size that you must consider.

Make sure that your layout must be neat and clean because it reflects your personality. What does it mean by a clean/neat layout? Don’t use multiple font styles.

Print on a short bond paper – it depends on the size required by the employer. Don’t use specialty paper and scented paper. Don’t impress your employer too much.

A resume is not noble – make it as simple as possible. The employer only needs the important information that he/she will get from you.

To finalize, ask for help! Let one of your family members or friends, to read and proofread your resume.
