To register a Japanese company in a country with a strong economic system, it is crucial to understand the registration conditions, process, required documents and related costs.

01 Basic Requirements for Japanese Company Registration

To register a company in Japan, it is important to first understand the basic conditions for registering a Japanese company.

(1) Legal status requirements:To register a company in Japan, at least one legal representative, usually a director, is required. This legal person can be of Japanese or foreign nationality, but is required to have a fixed business address in Japan.

2) Registered capital requirements:There is no fixed dollar limit for registered capital, but generally the minimum requirement is 1 yen. However, in order to increase the credibility of the company, the recommended registered capital is usually 1 million yen or more.

3) Business address:When applying for company registration, you will need to provide a physical business address in Japan. This address will be used for legal documents and tax registration.

4) Company name requirements:The registered company name must be unique and must not duplicate the name of an already registered company. In addition, the name should contain the words "corporation" or "contracting company" to clarify the type of company.

5) Operational activities prescribed by law:During the registration process, it is necessary to clarify the company's scope of business and ensure that the chosen business activity complies with Japanese laws and regulations.

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.

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.
