Hi there, thanks for the response. We are an online platform similar to how a classified ads website work. All of the payments go through PayPal and 100% of the operations are in the Philippines. In this scenario, will the company be required to register before starting any operations?

My other question is, what if the company expands its platform presence in Malaysia (or other SEA), while delaying monetization for 1 or 2 years. Can the company expand its presence with no registration since its not receiving payments yet from local people in Malaysia?

Thanks so much this is really helpful!
