Why Philippines?
Export oriented BPO and IT services
PEZA registered Registered Business Enterprises pay 5% Gross Income Tax in lieu of all national and local taxes for qualifying export activity. CREATE MORE Act 2024 extends Enhanced Deductions, allows 50% WFH arrangements for IT-BPM, and grants VAT zero rating on local purchases.
Solo foreign founders
The One Person Corporation under the Revised Corporation Code lets a single shareholder incorporate with no minimum capital for domestic export activity. SEC registration runs through eSPARC, and the OPC carries limited liability without the partnership formalities of older structures.
English language operations teams
English is an official administrative language used in all SEC, BIR, and court filings. The Philippines hosts over 1.4M BPO workers across Manila, Cebu, and Clark, with established talent pipelines for customer support, finance, and engineering at globally competitive rates.
Considerations
If you serve the Philippine domestic market
Foreign owned domestic market enterprises require USD 200,000 paid in capital under the Foreign Investments Act, reduced to USD 100,000 with advanced tech or 50 direct employees. The Anti Dummy Law criminalises nominee arrangements designed to circumvent these thresholds.
If you want clean international banking
The Philippines was on the FATF grey list until February 2025 and tier 1 international banks remain cautious. BSP foreign exchange controls require documentation for outbound USD repatriation, and Stripe, Wise, and Mercury do not natively support PHP business accounts.
