Company Structures They Support
They assist with two main types of incorporation in Japan:
- Godo Kaisha (GK) – a partnership-style LLC
- Kabushiki Kaisha (KK) – a stock-based corporation
They also support branch office setups for companies that prefer that structure. Incorporation typically takes around 2–6 weeks after all required documents are submitted by the client.
They also offer support for remote or “shell” company setups in Japan, allowing founders to establish a legal entity and operate it while living overseas. This option is often used to test the Japanese market before making a larger commitment.

Why should I work with your trusted partner for company incorporation in Japan?
There are many firms that offer incorporation services in Japan, but our trusted partner stands out for three key reasons. End-to-end support delivered in-house Our trusted partner manages the entire process internally, helping reduce costs while ensuring consistency and accuracy. Their bilingual team supports clients from incorporation through to post-setup, minimizing the risk of miscommunication or costly mistakes. Holistic expertise beyond incorporation Many firms in Japan focus only on company registration. Our partner provides broader support, including Business Manager Visa applications, corporate bank account setup, and overall business structuring. This is especially valuable for foreign founders who need guidance across multiple areas, not just incorporation.

Our trusted partner operates with a lean and experienced team, allowing clients to benefit from direct communication, faster execution, and more competitive pricing.

As a result, they maintain a strong track record of successful company formation, corporate bank account approvals, and Business Manager Visa applications.
