Business Licensing (eBOSS)
ERPat's electronic Business One-Stop Shop for a Philippine city or municipal Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO) — run a business permit end-to-end online: register → advise → clear → inspect → assess → collect → issue → verify.
ERPat eBOSS turns a paper, window-hopping business-permit process into one disciplined digital workflow. A business owner (or your receiving officer) enters the business details once; the Permit Adviser decides which requirements apply and why; reviewing offices run their clearances in parallel; inspectors record findings; an assessment consolidates local taxes and fees into one bill; payment is reconciled and posted to Finance; and a controlled issuance gate releases a digitally verifiable QR permit that anyone can check in public — with every step written to an immutable audit trail.
The module at a glance
The Business Registry (businesses, branches, activities) and Owners & Representatives are entered once and reused by every application and reviewing office — no re-keying, no conflicting copies.
A single Unified Application drives the Permit Adviser, document verification, parallel clearances, and risk-based inspections, each with its own accountable owner and SLA clock.
A versioned assessment consolidates local taxes and fees; payment is reconciled and posted to Finance; and the issuance gate releases a signed, QR-verifiable permit — checkable in public verification.

The 60-second mental model
You (or the owner in the portal) register the business and its people, run the Permit Adviser so the system decides the exact requirements, and submit one unified application. BPLO does a preliminary assessment and, if anything is missing, issues one consolidated deficiency notice. Reviewing offices run their clearances in parallel and inspectors record findings and corrective actions. An assessment is prepared, approved, and frozen; the owner pays; the payment is reconciled and posted to Finance. Only when every mandatory gate passes can a permit be generated, signed, issued, and released — after which anyone can verify it by QR or reference. Renewals, amendments, and retirements reuse the same spine.
