Why a Philippines Corporation?
The Philippines offers a young, English-speaking workforce, low operating costs, and the CREATE Act with reduced tax rates. For 100% foreign ownership, a minimum capital of USD 200,000 is required. In many industries, a 40/60 structure is also possible (40% foreigner, 60% Filipino) — Strasia Group supports you with this complexity and finds the optimal structure for your business model.
Strasia Group handles the entire incorporation — from SEC registration to tax number to bank account opening and optional SRRV (Special Resident Retiree's Visa). As a licensed corporate service provider, we guide you through every step.
