Hello, 

Good morning!
May I ask if DTI has a list/database of all businesses in the Philippines? If possible, with cuts on the type of industry (retail, banking, manufacturing, etc.), region, and business size (micro, small, medium, large).

Thank you!
Patti Medina

Dear Patti,

Greetings!

Please note that this is a regular request and does not fall under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016). 

DTI registers only a business name for a sole/single proprietorship business. Thus, we can only generate list of Registered Business Names for sole proprietor in DTI and not the registered businesses/establishments, which means we didn't know if the those registered business names are operational or not since we cannot monitor if they proceed to the next process of business registration after they registered their business names in DTI.


Registered BNs may also be verified through the search facility of the web-enabled BN Registration System.However, verification of a specific Business Name is limited to exact name search only and random searches are not allowed.

You may email BNRSHelpdesk@dti.gov.ph for the list of registered Business Names. 

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Grethel Mendoza
FOI Officer
