How To Establish A Company In Japan

Avoid these common pitfalls

  1. Do not abbreviate the address: Use kanji in street addresses, and do not use hyphens to designate them. For example,「一丁目3番1号」not "1-3-1."
  2. Forgetting or stamping in the wrong place: Double and triple-check where to stamp certain items.

  1. Using the incorrect seal for a document: each form requires a specific seal. Double check you are using the correct one.
  2. Forgetting to include "kabushiki kaisha": Must include the company name and “株式会社” in your forms.
  3. Not including future business plans: Ensure that your business objectives align with your immediate services. Inaccuracies or significant errors can lead to the rejection of your application, requiring you to resubmit the entire document.
