Dear Gefel Caro,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Feb 09, 2022 02:40:10 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for List of registered MSME's in the Province of Iloilo.

Response to Request

Please be informed that only sole proprietorships are registered with DTI, hence not all operating businesses may not be registered with DTI. 

Also, kindly be advised that a Business Name Registration is NOT a license to engage in any kind of business and that the business, regardless of its nature, needs to be registered with the Local Government Unit - Business Permit and Licensing Office where the business is located (business address).

In this context, we suggest that you contact the Local Government Unit - Business Permit and Licensing Offices (BPLOs) of the province of Iloilo for proper assistance.
