After so many hurdles, DTI-7, the Cebu City Government and the four (4) mandatory agencies (BIR, SSS, PhilHealth & Pag-IBIG) involved in business registration, permitting and licensing have finally made a “breakthough”.
With DTI as the lead agency, mandated to implement RA 7470 or the National Economic Research & Business Assistance Center (NERBAC), businessmen will now experience a hassle-free business registration, permitting and licensing system (BPLS) in Cebu City as NERBAC – Central Visayas serves as their One-Stop-Shop.
Under the system, new applicants can now file their DTI Business Name Registration simultaneously with Cebu City’s Application for Business Permit (new applications only), SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR Registration at the DTI - NERBAC 7.
DTI-NERBAC 7 is located at the ground floor of LDM Bldg., Lapu-lapu St. (beside DFA), Cebu City.
According to NERBAC 7 Manager Minerva Yap, this positive development is a result of a series of workshops, seminars and meetings among the members of NERBAC - 7 Governing Board and the Cebu City Government.
BPLS applicants will now be spared from going office-to-office in order to have their businesses acquire legal entities, saving them much needed time and resources, she said.

NERBAC -7 as a one--stop-shop for a harmonized and streamlined BPLS in Cebu City would not have been possible without the full support, cooperation and commitment of the members of its governing board, especially the mandatory agencies BIR, SSS, PhilHealth & Pag-IBIG and the Cebu City Government.
Behind the very limited budget of NERBAC – 7 is GTZ, a German company which continuously extends financial assistance to NERBAC’s activities.
Yap disclosed that two municipalities are also being considered to pilot the implementation of the harmonized and streamlined BPLS. One is from the north (Consolacion) and the other is from the south (Barili)
Yap has high hopes that with the successful implementation in the chosen pilot areas, replicating the same in the rest of the Local Government Units (LGU’s) in Cebu and the whole of Central Visayas will not be difficult.
