STEP 3
VERIFY NAME. From a dropdown list, select the type of company you wish to register: Stock Corporation, Non-Stock Corporation, Foreign Stock Corporation, Foreign Non-Stock Corporation, General Partnership, Limited Partnership, or Professional Partnership.
Make sure you choose the correct Company Type, as the dropdown list choices for the Company Classification, Industry Classification, Section, and Subclass are all dependent on your selection.
Enter the proposed company name. Please be guided by SEC Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 14, s. 2017, Consolidated Guidelines and Procedures on the Use of Corporate and Partnership Names.
Initially, the system will let you know whether the proposed name is still available for use or not. If the name is still available, enter the trade name/s, if preferred, then click Validate.
If the system confirms that the proposed trade name is still available, click Add.
Select which office will process your application: Main Office, Satellite Office, or Extension Office, then click Next.
Submit your application for further evaluation and final approval. You will then receive an e-mail notification of the proposed names’ approval or disapproval.
In case the proposed names were disapproved, you may now file your Appeal using the CRS.
Note: You must accomplish Steps 3 and 4 in four days, otherwise, your application will expire, and the reserved name may be used again by the public.

Read the Registration Guidelines, the Re- strictions applicable to your application, and the list of documents to be submitted.
Carefully review and confirm the company details you entered. A payment assessment will appear to inform you of the amount that you need to pay. Click Next then download, and print the system-generated AI or AP, and BL, then confirm your registration summary.
STEP 5
UPLOAD DOCUMENTS. Upload the unsigned system-generated AI or AP, and BL, together with the other requirements (i.e. Treasurer’s Affidavit, Cover Sheet, etc.).
Submit forms and wait for an e-mail notification of either the payment procedure or the list of documents for compliance.
