Yes, you can change it to partnership. Requirements are BIR, BANK, REGISTRATION amibg others. My advice is hire a lawyer that will help you coz if you DIY, you'll be stressed

Probably not - I havent checked partnership business form because of EXTRA risk iif the partner screw up - by the max owning restrictions against foreigners in Phils
BUT its possible to make a company/corporation where the foreigner own max 40 percent (And there are some other demands to fulfil as e g max 40 percent of the board positions having foreigners.)

IF the retail business EXPORT more than sexty percent of the revenue, then there are more options.
