For the global negosyante
Register your business abroad. Run it from the Philippines.
Accept cards from any country and GCash, without lining up at a single city hall. I'll show you the exact setup I use, from choosing a country to bringing your earnings home.
What weighs on you most?
Pick the one you relate to most.
It took me months before I could start operating.
The Philippines ranks in the bottom 20% of the world for business entry, and registration still can't be completed fully online.1
Every January, it starts all over again.
Your business permit has to be renewed each year, with new clearances and new fees.
I'm still waiting on one more document.
When the process isn't online, your schedule depends on lines and office hours.
How the course helps: In the course, I'll show you how to register online in a country where registration can take as little as an hour, and what to prepare before you file.
One office, one line, then another office and another line.
DTI or SEC, barangay, city hall, BIR. Each one has its own forms and requirements.
I file every month, even when I barely earn.
Monthly and quarterly returns, books of accounts and registered invoices. Most people end up hiring a bookkeeper.
I don't have time to run around.
Especially with a full-time job or clients in another time zone.
How the course helps: The whole process is online, so you don't need to travel. I'll show you how to do it from home.
‘Can I just pay by card?’ I never know what to say.
The most popular global card processors still don't support businesses registered in the Philippines.2
Every payment shrinks after fees and conversion.
Your earnings are often converted to pesos automatically, so you lose on forex before the money even lands.
Do I have to apply for GCash, Maya and QR Ph one by one?
With a payment platform, one application covers them all.
I handle too much cash every day.
When customers pay digitally, there is less cash to lose or have stolen.
How the course helps: I'll walk you through a setup that accepts cards from any country and GCash, Maya and QR Ph through one application, plus how to hold your earnings in multiple currencies.
Someone offered to “speed things up” for a fee.
The more offices and signatures a process needs, the more chances someone has to ask for something extra.
I never know what I'll actually end up paying.
Budgeting is hard when charges change depending on who you deal with.
I'm tired of the headlines.
The Philippines scored 32/100 on the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, ranking 120th of 182 countries.3
How the course helps: In the countries I teach, filing happens online and every government fee is published. No connections needed.
Note: this is for businesses with customers abroad or that run online. If you have a physical store or most of your clients are Filipino, you still need a local registration.

Who made this course
My sincerest hope is that this course eases the frustration of running a business in the Philippines, where so much time and money is lost to red tape and corruption.
Hi, I'm Andrea. Since 2023, I've run companies in two Asian countries, from registration to the yearly audit, all online.
Filipino entrepreneurs are some of the most hardworking and resourceful people I know. When your company is registered where the process runs smoothly from start to finish, and the fees you pay go toward keeping it that way, you finally get to put that energy into your clients and your products.
I built Borderless Pinoy so you can follow the route I took, step by step, without guessing.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which countries will I register in?
Two countries in Asia, both in the same time zone as Manila, and the exact ones I use myself. The course explains why I chose them and which one fits your business.
How much does it cost to run the company each year?
It depends on the country and package you choose, and there are yearly provider fees. Chapter 2 compares every cost in pesos, and Chapter 0 helps you check the fit before you commit.
My income is still small. Is it worth it?
It depends on why. If your income is small because buyers abroad struggle to pay you, a company abroad can remove that limit: you can take cards from any country and hold earnings in their currency. When the business is simply still early, staying registered in the Philippines may make more sense for now. Chapter 0 helps you check the fit, and Chapter 4 shows the payment setup.
Do I need to travel there?
No. Registration and opening a business bank account are both done online. Some banks or providers may ask for extra verification, and I'll show you how to handle it.
Is this legal? What about my tax in the Philippines?
Yes, registering a company in another country is legal, and the whole course is built around following the rules. Yes, this can lower or delay your personal tax in the Philippines. How much depends on your situation, and tax planning is outside this course, so work it out with a CPA.
Will I be able to skip every permit in the Philippines?
Not in every case. If your customers are abroad and your business is online, you'll deal with fewer local processes. If you have a physical business or most of your customers are Filipino, you still need a local registration.
How long do I get access?
For life. When I learn something new from running my own companies, I add it to the course, and you get those updates at no extra cost.
Do you offer refunds?
No. All enrollments are final sale, because you get the full course and every template right away. To be sure first, read the free Chapter 0 or send your questions to mabuhay@borderlesspinoy.com.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. The course is educational. For your specific situation, consult a CPA or lawyer.
