TAX & LEGAL ADVISORY
To simplify your Japan market business plans, we offer several services in addition to executive search. For those considering Japan as a new market of entry, we can give you a detailed picture of the tax and legal considerations you’ll need to make when deciding what form your Japan organization should take — Representative Office, LLC, or Inc.
Japan Entity Setup
We can guide you through the various steps needed for bank account setup, corporate registration, social security enrollment, and if necessary, working visa procurement for any foreign staff you may hire or transfer over. Entity setup typically takes about 6 weeks to complete and bank account setup about 1 to 4 weeks.
representative & address
Depending on your need you can use our address as the official address for your entity. And if you prefer to have a neutral outside party act as your Representative Director rather than your locally hired Japan head, we can do that too.
paperwork support
Finally, we offer ongoing support in the form of accounting books/ledgers preparation, payroll calculations, banking, and more. We’ll report to your HQ in English — currently we are supporting North America-, Europe-, and even Asia-based companies operating in Japan.
