Abstract

For a business to legally operate, owners must apply for a business permit in the local government. Applying for a business permit requires the owner a rigorous job to complete the process. Conventionally, business owners personally process the application for a business permit.

They pass hard copies of business permit application requirements to various offices involved in the completion of the business permit.

Manual processing of business permit applications requires both business owners and local government offices in charge to spend valuable time and effort to complete the process.

Delays in business registration and permit renewals would also occur since business permit information of businesses are recorded and stored in paper and physical storage, respectively which make it difficult to retrieve.

Inline with this, the researchers aimed to develop a system that will automate the process of business permit application.

The system will allow electronic transactions between business owners and officers in charge of business permits and licensing.

The system will allow business owners to electronically apply for business permits and local government officers also can assess the businesses and electronically record business information and issuance of business permits.

The researchers will develop the project following the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) technique. The project will be subjected to evaluation by a panel of IT experts and intended users to assess the system.

The target users of the system are business owners and the local government offices in charge of issuing business permits and licenses to businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these VB.NET projects free for capstone and thesis use?
Yes. All 250+ VB.NET projects on itsourcecode.com are free to download, modify, and submit as part of your BSIT capstone or thesis. No attribution required for academic use. We do recommend you modify the code substantially before submission — panels in 2026 actively check for known capstone codebases.
What Visual Studio version do I need?
Visual Studio Community 2022 (free) is the safest pick — opens projects from Visual Studio 2010 through 2019 with zero conversion friction. Most projects on this page target Visual Studio 2012, 2013, or 2015 originally; they upgrade automatically when you open them in VS 2022. Avoid Visual Studio 2008 and earlier — they cannot open newer .vbproj files. The .NET Framework requirement is usually 4.5-4.8.
MS Access vs MySQL vs SQL Server — which database should I use?
MS Access for fastest local demo — the .mdb or .accdb file ships with your project, no separate database server needed. Best for single-user capstones. MySQL or MariaDB if your school standardizes on it or your system needs multi-user access. SQL Server LocalDB is the modern Microsoft default and installs with Visual Studio. Pick what your school requires; do not switch databases mid-project.
VB.NET vs C# — which should I learn for my capstone?
VB.NET if your school's curriculum teaches it (most Philippine BSIT programs do). C# if you have a choice or want better long-term career relevance — Microsoft has shifted most new tooling and tutorials to C#. The two languages compile to the same .NET IL and use the same libraries; switching after capstone takes about 2 weeks. For 2026 capstones in the Philippines, VB.NET is still the safe default — panel familiarity matters.
How do I run a VB.NET project I downloaded?
(1) Extract the ZIP. (2) Double-click the .sln (Solution) file to open in Visual Studio. (3) If Visual Studio prompts to upgrade the project format, accept. (4) Right-click the project in Solution Explorer, choose Restore NuGet Packages. (5) If using a database, import the included .sql file into MySQL or attach the .mdb file. (6) Update the connection string in App.config or the data access class. (7) Press F5 to run.
Can I deploy a VB.NET Windows Forms project to the web?
No directly — Windows Forms is desktop-only. For web deployment you would need to rewrite as ASP.NET Web Forms (similar look) or ASP.NET Core MVC (modern stack). For BSIT defense, most panels accept desktop demos on the panel's laptop. If your panel requires web deployment, browse our ASP.NET Projects category instead.
Do the downloads include capstone documentation (Chapter 1 to 5)?
VB.NET source code packages typically include the working program, database file, and a README with setup steps. Capstone documentation (Chapters 1 Introduction, 2 RRL, 3 Methodology, 4 Results, 5 Recommendations) is NOT included — you write it yourself. For documentation templates and chapter-by-chapter guides, browse our Final Year Projects (FYP) hub. For UML diagrams in Chapter 3, see our UML Diagrams Library.
How often is this VB.NET projects list updated?
New VB.NET capstone projects are added regularly. Existing posts are revised when Visual Studio ships major versions or when MS Access connector behavior changes. This page was last refreshed in May 2026.
