The Quezon City government has launched the Nano-Enterprise Registration Program to make it easier for the city’s smallest businesses, such as sari-sari stores and carinderias, to formalize and access government support.
Mayor Joy Belmonte said the initiative promotes inclusive economic growth by helping micro-entrepreneurs register their businesses and expand their livelihoods.
The program, created under a 2024 ordinance and strengthened in 2025, also offers benefits such as financial aid, training, and emergency assistance.
It further reduces compliance costs, including exemptions from certain fees and more flexible requirements for food businesses.
Applications can be submitted online through the city’s Business One Stop Shop portal.
