Company Formation in Japan — Intake Form

/ 日本での会社設立 ヒアリングフォーム

For founders outside Japan setting up a Kabushiki Kaisha (KK) or Godo Kaisha (GK) remotely, with all signing done by post. About 20 minutes. Fields marked * are required.

海外にお住まいの方が郵送のみで株式会社・合同会社を設立するためのフォームです（所要約20分）。*は必須項目です。

How it works:

(1) you complete this form and upload copies of your documents;

(2) we draft the articles of incorporation and, for a KK, arrange notarisation as your agent (a GK needs none; electronic articles mean no ¥40,000 stamp duty);

(3) you sign the documents we send, obtain signature certificates and post the originals to us;

(4) capital is paid into a founder's bank account;

(5) our certified public accountant files the registration with the Legal Affairs Bureau on the company's behalf — the day it is filed is the date of incorporation;

(6) we file tax notifications and any Foreign Exchange Act report, and support bank account opening and visa applications.

流れ：

①本フォームの入力と書類の写しの提出

②当社が定款を作成し、株式会社は定款認証を代理（合同会社は不要・電子定款で印紙代不要）

KK only / 株式会社のみ

Registered office / 本店所在地

We introduce Signature, a serviced office in Minato-ku, Tokyo. Founders who contract it get a head office address, a place to receive post from the Legal Affairs Bureau, tax office and banks, and a smoother bank account opening. A head office in Minato-ku registers at the Minato branch of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau.
