Businesses for sale in the Philippines: prices and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

Businesses for sale in the Philippines are listed at very different prices. In the listings we found, asking prices run from about ₱1.2 million to ₱25 million, and one hotel, spa and events business in Roxas City was listed at ₱110 million. Permit and registration costs come on top, and the quickest way to see current listings for your budget is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Permits and registration to check

Taking over a business means checking the government papers it already holds. Snippets quote a business permit for a micro-enterprise or small retail business at ₱5,000 to ₱15,000, a city or municipality permit at ₱500 plus ₱30 documentary stamp tax, and barangay and mayor's permits at ₱1,000 to ₱10,000. Business registration is quoted at ₱4,000 to ₱20,000, so ask the seller for current permits, the BIR registration and papers that match the business name and address.

Season and site visits

The climate is tropical, with a wet season and a dry season rather than winter and summer. Heavy rain can make site visits, stock counts and inspections of the premises harder, so plan viewings for the drier months.

How the price is quoted

Asking prices are usually one sum in pesos, sometimes marked slightly negotiable, and a listing may or may not include stock, equipment or the lease. Ask what is included in the price and confirm the currency, because some Philippine listings are shown in US dollars, such as USD 600 K in one listing.

What to write in your request

Say what you want to buy: a shop, a café or restaurant, a franchise, an online shop, a social media account or a company. Add your budget in pesos, the city or area (Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City or Makati), whether you need the premises and the lease, and when you want to complete the purchase.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the business you want in your own words in a chat, and can add a photo. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the Philippines, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their offer, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. See franchises or create a request to start.
