The Davao City Business Bureau has urged business establishment owners to renew their business permits during the first working days of January to avoid long queues.
Business Bureau head Marissa Marasigan-Torentera reminded the public that the processing for business permit renewal is from January 2 to January 31, 2020 – Monday to Saturday. New business permit applications will also be processed.
Marasigan-Torentera further advised businessmen to check if they have all requirements to avoid the hassle of going back and forth to the City Hall. The requirements include certificates from the Bureau of Fire and City Health Office.
“They need to check their documents if these are complete. Through this, it will be easier for them to renew or apply for a business permit,” she said.
Marasigan-Torentera also reminded business owners, especially those involved in the service industry such as the fast-food that they need to comply with the requirement of the City Anti-Drug Abuse Council (CADAC), which means implementing a random drug test on all their employees.
The CADAC requirement is for all service industry businesses that are employing more than nine workers.
“The business owners can also make use of the online payment, especially those whose main branch is outside Davao City. They can pay through the Land Bank of the Philippines to avoid the hassles of sending money for the business permit application and renewal,” she said. CIO
