WHO WE HELP

Built for founders entering the Philippines from the outside.

Sound familiar?

You've decided on the Philippines.

Now the questions start.

What kind of entity do I actually need — and can I even own it as a foreigner?

Which agencies do I have to register with, and in what order?

How do I know if the advice I'm getting is correct — or just someone filing a form?

What does compliance actually cost, and what happens if I get it wrong?

Is there one person I can trust to handle all of this — or do I need ten vendors?

These are the right questions. POC exists to answer them.

Four kinds of founders

Different situations.

One thing in common.

Every founder POC serves is navigating a system they didn't grow up in, with a real cost to getting it wrong. The situations differ — the need for a trusted local partner doesn't.

Foreign Founder Entering the Philippines

You're moving in — or running an operation from overseas — and you need a local CPA-of-record you can actually trust to handle the setup, not just the paperwork.

Worry removed:

"I don't know which entity type I need, whether I can legally own it, or who to trust to set it up right the first time."

International Company Expanding In

Your business is already established elsewhere. You're opening a Philippine office or subsidiary and need a clean local setup — with reporting that satisfies your head office.

Worry removed:

"I don't know which entity type I need, whether I can legally own it, or who to trust to set it up right the first time."

Remote or Non-Resident Owner

You're moving in — or running an operation from overseas — and you need a local CPA-of-record you can actually trust to handle the setup, not just the paperwork.

Worry removed:

"I don't know which entity type I need, whether I can legally own it, or who to trust to set it up right the first time."

Established SME Needing Structure

You're already operating in the Philippines but the books are messy, the compliance is patchy, and growth is exposing gaps. You need a senior pair of hands to bring order to it.

Worry removed

"We've been getting by, but I know the foundations aren't solid. I don't want a tax audit or a fundraise to reveal how much we've been winging it."

This is who POC is built for

One primary persona: a capable founder, new to Philippine regulation, who values clarity and trust over the cheapest quote. If this sounds like you, you'll feel it immediately in the first conversation.

You're in the right place if…

You're entering or operating in the PH as a foreign national or entity
Registration, foreign-ownership structuring, and compliance from day one.

You want one trusted partner — not ten vendors
Setup, tax, books, payroll, and advisory under one roof, one point of contact.

You value plain-language clarity over regulatory jargon
You want to understand what's happening, not just be told to sign.

You need a CPA who understands operating reality, not just filings
Someone who has built and run businesses — and advises from that vantage point.

You need reliable ground presence while you operate from elsewhere
A partner who handles the compliance layer so you can focus on the business.

You want to get it right the first time
Not fix an entity structure two years in, not catch up on three years of missed filings.

Probably not the right fit if…

You're looking for the lowest-cost option above all else — there are cheaper providers, and POC isn't competing on price.

You need a large firm with a hundred-person team — POC is deliberately founder-scale, with a senior hand on every engagement.

You're a purely domestic Philippine business with no international complexity — POC's edge is in the cross-border layer.

You want someone to handle things without keeping you informed — POC's approach is clarity at every step, which takes a little more engagement from both sides.

The founder POC is built for

"A capable founder, new to Philippine regulation, who values clarity and trust over the cheapest quote — and wants to exhale when they find the right partner."
