The city government through the City Treasury Office and the Business Permit and Licensing Office set up a satellite Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS) at City Hall at a mall here to provide an alternative venue for businessmen to process their business licenses.
Located between Cinemas 3 and 4, the offsite BOSS at the mall is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Mondays to Fridays from January to March.
While SM opens at 10 a.m., an arrangement was made for business permit applicants to be allowed entry at 8 a.m.
“Applicants may just tell the guards at the entrance fronting the grocery area that they will process their permit at the BOSS and they will be accommodated,” Permits and Licensing Officer Allan Abayao advised.
Abayao said the offsite processing scheme was implemented to decongest the BOSS at City Hall and avoid overcrowding and long queues.
The main BOSS is located at the City Treasury Office One-Stop Shop.
As of Jan. 4, 2024, the city has processed a total of 607 permit renewal, 13 new business applications, one new business line, one new management, one retirement of business line and 19 full retirement of business.
Abayao reminded that business permit application is available online via the eBPLS Portal at ebpls.baguio.gov.ph . **Aileen P. Refuerzo
