SEC Registration

What is SEC Registration?

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registration is the legal process of incorporating your business as a corporation, partnership, or One Person Corporation (OPC) in the Philippines. Through the SEC's Electronic Simplified Processing Application for Registration of Company (eSPARC) system, your business entity becomes legally recognized, allowing you to operate, enter contracts, own property, and enjoy corporate rights and protections under Philippine law.
