A total of 12,046 establishments or businesses in Cagayan de Oro city have been registered at the Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS) at the City Tourism Hall from January 2 to January 20, 2025.
This was reported by Mr. Jason Adaza, head of the Business Permits and Licensing Division of the City Mayor’s Office, after the city council extended the deadline for business permit renewal until February 28, 2025, following a request from the city's business owners, which was favorably endorsed by Mayor Klarex Uy during the regular session yesterday.
As a result, no fines, penalties, or surcharges will be imposed on those who wish to renew their business permits within this period. According to the law, the renewal deadline was originally set for January 20, 2025.
