From Sole Proprietor to Holding Corporation in 45 Days

A Cebu-based retailer with three branches was operating under a single DTI registration, exposing the owner's personal assets to full business liability. Estluxe restructured the business into a parent corporation with two operating subsidiaries — reducing tax exposure by 28% and enabling a subsequent equity raise.

Key Outcomes

SEC Incorporation for a Foreign-Filipino Joint Venture

A Singapore-based investor wanted to enter the Philippine F&B market with a local partner. Estluxe handled SEC incorporation, FIDA compliance, and BIR registration — navigating foreign equity restrictions while protecting both parties' interests.

Feasibility Study That Secured ₱8M in Bank Financing

A Davao entrepreneur needed a bankable feasibility study to support a loan application for a cold storage facility. Estluxe delivered a market analysis, financial model, and risk assessment that satisfied the bank's requirements on the first submission.

Property Portfolio Consolidation for a Family Business

A Metro Manila family with 7 properties spread across personal and corporate names engaged Estluxe to consolidate ownership, reduce estate tax exposure, and set up a proper succession structure. The engagement took 3 months and resulted in significant annual tax savings.

Franchise Structuring for a 12-Branch Expansion

A growing food brand in the Visayas wanted to franchise but had no legal framework in place. Estluxe developed the franchise disclosure document, territory agreements, and franchisor entity — enabling the brand to sign 12 franchisees within 6 months of launch.

BIR Compliance Recovery for a 3-Year Backlog

A Pampanga SME had gone 3 years without filing proper BIR returns, accumulating penalties and risking closure. Estluxe managed a phased compliance recovery — filing back returns, negotiating penalty abatement, and establishing ongoing compliance systems.

Holding Company Setup for a Tech Startup Pre-Fundraise

A Filipino tech startup preparing for a Series A needed a proper holding structure to accommodate foreign investors. Estluxe set up a Cayman-Philippine holding structure with appropriate vesting schedules and investor rights provisions in place.
