• “I want to set up a company in Japan, but the procedures are too complicated…”

• “I’m worried my Business Manager Visa won’t be approved, so I can’t commit to fundraising or lease agreements…”

Starting a foreign-owned business requires specialized procedures tailored to Immigration Services Bureau standards—distinct from ordinary Japanese company incorporation. Administrative Scrivener Corporation Shionaga Office provides a expert team intimately familiar with Kumamoto’s local business landscape and immigration regulations, fully supporting the launch of your business in Japan.

4 Reasons to Choose Shionaga Office

Simply forming a company does not guarantee visa approval. From day one, we design Articles of Incorporation and corporate structures that meet all visa criteria—including proof of capital source, office location requirements, and business plan feasibility.

In coordination with affiliated Judicial Scriveners, Tax Accountants, and Social Insurance Attorney (Labor) Consultants, we manage corporate registration, visa application, and corporate bank account preparation in one place. A single point of contact saves you significant time and effort.

3. Overcoming Language Barriers with English & Multilingual Support

Beyond translating contracts and business plans into Japanese, we provide thoughtful, step-by-step guidance during meetings and documentation. Even if you are unsure about communicating in Japanese, you can consult us with confidence.
