Legal Question in Technology Law in Philippines
Starting an online business
Is it necessary to obtain a business name in the Philippines in order to start a business or company on the Internet? Since it will be a purely online business, is it valid to use our home address for the business address?
Are there any laws that talk about starting an online business in the Philippines and the requirements?

Re: Starting an online business
You have to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission if you pland to operate a business which would be owned by a company or a partnership; or be registered with the Department of Trade and Industry if you are a sole proprietorship. Addresses is not the concern of government. You can use the address that you want. Try brousing over the so call E-Commerce Law of the Philippines
