Which structure fits you?
It depends mainly on who owns the shares. If Filipinos will hold more than 60%, choose a sole proprietorship, a One Person Corporation or a domestic corporation. If foreigners will hold more than 40%, choose a foreign-owned domestic corporation, a branch office or a representative office.
Every vOffice fee is all-inclusive: government, legal, professional and notary fees, with no extras added later.
