Business Permit

Our net shop is frequently open until 01:00 am to 02:00 am dawn. Sometimes, though not intentional, customers make a lot of noise inside the shop and that bothers me it might cause inconvenience in our neighborhood. Actually, I do have understanding neighbors around but of course if they will encounter frequent disturbance because of my shop, I’m sure they will complain soon. Mom as my mentor advised me last night to get a business permit from our barangay for me to comprise legal documents in case I will have any issue in the future. And that supposed to be the first thing I’ve done when I started up this kind of business. I’m not saying that I’m conflicting rules but I already tried to get a permit from them but they advised me to do it after the election this May, so, I followed. However, though it might be sound wrong because some may think about that “PADRINO” thing since the chairman of our barangay happened to be my partner Cholo’s uncle, we intended to go after the right process appropriately. I don’t want other people to be aware that our internet shop is operating without any permit. So in order for us not to be known for abiding any regulation, my Partner get a barangay business permit then.  It is also a big help to us not to be required from getting any other business permits aside from this one given that our shop is located not near commercial area.

I also want everything about the shop to be taken care of and put in proper order. Before, we are not so strict in regard to the policies and regulations of the shop. But, I noticed that sometimes it became disadvantage in our part. So what I promised myself now is to become more firm but not to the point that it will affect the operation of our business hence still keep our customers and provide quality customer service.
