Our Projects

We rebranded to Equity Labs in 2021 as we expanded our Firm to invest in internal ventures that allows our consultants to further develop holistic entrepreneurial skills outside of their technical skills.

Our venture building philosophy is simple - develop products that we'll use. To-date, we have invested time in the following projects:

Business Registration

Incorpirata

Planning to register your business without getting lost with the complex legal jargon?

Learn More

We have been advising and assisting businesses in getting their business registered right. From weaving through the complexity of regulated industries requiring secondary licenses to securing license to do business for foreign corporations, all these goes through a total blackhole once the process starts.

Incorpirata was created to address this problem. Let's make business registration simpler, digital, and transparent.

Our platform was created to allow business owners to register their business digitally through our platform and get live updates throughout the lifecycle of the business registration - what's more? You get access to digital copies of all documents once we receive them from the regulators.

Virtual Office

Pirate Hub Spaces

Need to get your business registered without a physical office address?

Getting a business registered requires a business address that is compliant with the requirements of the local government unit. While some opt to use their home address, this could often lead to registration failure due to lack of compliance requirements.

Pirate Hub Spaces is an allied offering of Incorpirata to allow companies to get registered smoothly and cost effectively.

Our virtual office space offering at the Pirate Hub Spaces is exclusive to Equity Labs, Incorpirata, and Project Scribe clients in compliance with stringent compliance requirements that we need to follow.

Corporate Housekeeping

Project Scribe

Is there a better way to keep track and prepare compliance requirements?

Compliance is a big ask in the Philippines. From maintaining all your registration documents to keeping track of regulatory filing deadlines throughout the year, navigating what's needed by your business (and keeping them for God's sake!) is more than a full-time job.

Project Scribe was created to spark joy for corporate secretaries through our... Scribe.

Our platform was created as a repository of corporate housekeeping documentation to make your life easier as you prepare for future due diligence. From keeping records of digital document to assisting you in getting your annual General Information Sheet (Philippine version of confirmation statement or annual return), Project Scribe will be there to make the corporate secretary's life a bit more bearable.
