Business permit deadline: midnight of January 31
THE BUSINESS permit renewal will only be until the midnight of January 31, a Thursday.
“We have extended it until January 31 but we hope that business owners will not wait until the last few days to renew their business permits to avoid hassle,” said Business Bureau Chief Atty. Marissa Torentera.
Torentera said several business owners renewed their permits during the first day on Jan. 3.
The influx of people renewing permits is expected to continue until the second week of the month.
Torentera is urging traders to renew their business permits as early as possible to avoid the rush and potential hassles.
