Company Establishment

In order to incorporate a new company in Japan in accordance with Japanese law, at least one of the directors must reside in Japan.

Therefore, in case that you intend to assume a post of a director but do not have a residence in Japan, you are required to have a co-director from a Japanese resident.  Having a work visa in Japan is not required.

We provide advisory services to foreign clients that are seeking a solution to the above issue. Our service includes a referral of a qualified person for co-directorship of your company.

Once we have referred and registered an appropriate co-director for your company, our services will be deemed complete.

Other services available:
1. Drafting related agreements between aforementioned company and a third party
