Business Establishment and Operations
Establishing a Company in Japan requires the preparation of numerous documents and registration procedures at the notary public office and the Legal Affairs Bureau. Furthermore, after incorporation, it is necessary to file various notifications with authorities such as the tax office and the Labor Standards Inspection Office, which involves the preparation of additional documents and visits to multiple government agencies.
In addition, for non-Japanese nationals who intend to continuously operate a business in Japan, obtaining the appropriate residence status (VISA) is also required.
Our service provides comprehensive support for all these complex procedures through a single contact point.
