IT IS EXPENSIVE TO DO BUSINESS Legitimate businesses are expensive to make. Registration to the SEC, BIR and LGU require time, effort and money. I have seen newbie entrepreneurs charged ₱100,000 to register their businesses via third parties when in actually, DTI registration is free and SEC registration probably costing 10% of that amount, tops.

I saw this on my Facebook feed today. Fine, I admit it. Filipinos are not really blessed with math skills. In fact, many grow up to be afraid of it, refusing to even attempt to learn beyond counting how much is our overtime and holiday pay. Because yes, salary is important. However, I refuse to […]
