QUEZON CITY NANO-ENTERPRISES REGISTRATION
ORDINANCE OF 2024

In April 2024, Quezon City took a significant
step in empowering small entrepreneurs by
enacting Ordinance Number SP-3272, S-
2024, also known as the QC Nano-
Enterprises Registration Ordinance of 2024.
This legislation provides targeted support
for nano-enterprises—small businesses
owned by self-employed individuals or sole
proprietors with assets below PHP 50,000
and annual gross sales not exceeding PHP
250,000.

To ensure the success of these micro-
businesses, the ordinance introduced a
comprehensive support system that
includes financial assistance, business
development programs, substantial tax
relief, and priority access to government
aid. Recognizing the need for efficiency, the
city government fully digitalized nano-
enterprise registration via its electronic
Business One-Stop Shop (e-BOSS), enabling
quick and convenient registration.

To drive awareness and adoption, the QC BPLD collaborated with barangays, the DTI as well
as Quezon City’s Sustainable Business and Cooperative Development Office (SBCDPO) and
Public Employment Service Office (PESO) to launch outreach programs and business
caravans. These initiatives ensure that nano-entrepreneurs receive the necessary guidance,
resources, and support to formalize their businesses and access government benefits.

By eliminating bureaucratic barriers and providing direct support, Quezon City has
established itself as a leader in inclusive economic development, creating an enabling
environment where small businesses can grow and thrive.
