02 Process of registering a Japanese company (for non-Japanese residents)
1) Architecture Design
:: Determination of the company name (in accordance with the norms of the Japanese Companies Act);
:: Legal representative (whether or not residing in Japan);
:: Registered address (real office address);
:: The percentage of capital contribution and the content of the statute.
For foreign promoters who do not have residency status in Japan, the procedure of notarizing the signature or seal certificate in the country or region where they are located is required for the subsequent application for registration.
2) Certification of statutes
KK is required to submit the articles of association to a Japanese notary public for notarization and certification, which is a mandatory part of registration; GK can omit this procedure.
Foreigners are required to submit a "Certificate of Signature" instead of a "Certificate of Seal" for the establishment of a company, while Mainland Chinese are usually required to have their signatures notarized by an attorney and certified by the Japanese Consulate.
3) Injection of funds
Funds must be paid into a "Temporary Receipt Account" or a Japanese bank account in the sponsor's name, and a certificate of payment must be obtained from the bank.
4) Submit Registration
Submit the registration application to the Legal Affairs Bureau and obtain the Certificate of Incorporation and Certificate of Registration of Corporate Seal in about 10-15 working days.
5) Tax Declaration
Within two weeks of the completion of registration, the company must file with the tax office, local tax office, annuity office, etc., submitting information such as the lease contract, establishment prospectus, and representative's identification. Failure to file will be treated as an "unincorporated shell".
6) Bank account opening
It is difficult to open an account, and you need to prepare a complete business plan with proof of office space and other documents in advance.
After registration, you can get a full set of Japanese company information.

04 Japanese Company Registration Fee Reference
The fee consists of three main components: government fees, professional service fees and additional service fees such as address.
1) Government fees and statutory costs:
Fixed-price certification fee: approximately 50,000-60,000 yen.
Stamp Duty on Registered Capital: Taxes vary depending on the amount of registered capital (e.g., for a capital of 10 million yen, a stamp duty of 40,000 yen).
Registration exemption tax at the Legal Affairs Bureau: 0.7% of capital (minimum 150,000 yen).
(2) Fee for professional agency services:
The service fees for commissioning administrative scribes and representative organizations vary greatly in terms of complexity and service content.
The market price of a standard package for a foreigner setting up a company is about 500,000 yen to 1,000,000 yen (about 25,000 to 50,000 yen).
3) Other necessary/optional costs:
Registered Address Rental: If you do not have a physical address in Japan, you will need to rent a legal business address at an annual fee of approximately 100,000-300,000 yen.
Japanese Representative Director Compensation: If you need to appoint a nominal Japanese representative director to fulfill legal requirements, annual compensation is required, which is a large ongoing expense.
Company seal fee: approximately 20,000-40,000 yen.
Bank account opening assistance fee: At present, Japanese banks are scrutinizing the account opening of new overseas companies strictly, and professional assistance in account opening may incur additional fees.
Total Estimate: For a standard corporation established by foreign natural person shareholders with a one-year address and basic services, the total initial setup costs (excluding registered capital) are usually in the range of 800,000 to 1,500,000 yen (approximately 40,000 to 75,000 RMB), but each case needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and the costs are not static.
Registering a company in Japan has its own complexities, but as long as you understand the requirements and processes involved, and prepare the necessary documents, you will be able to complete the registration successfully.
