Company Setup & Business Manager Visa in Kumamoto｜Complete One-Stop Support

【For Foreign Entrepreneurs Looking to Start a Business in Kumamoto】

From company incorporation to visa approval and business launch—we guide you along the fastest route with proven results and a strong network.

“I want to start a company in Japan, but the procedures are too complicated to move forward…”
“I’m worried whether my Business Manager Visa will be approved, so I can’t proceed with funding or leasing a storefront…”

Starting a business in Japan as a foreign national requires special procedures designed with immigration review in mind—different from standard company incorporation. Shionaga Office, a licensed administrative scrivener corporation, is a specialist team deeply familiar with both the Kumamoto region and immigration procedures. We provide comprehensive support to help launch your business in Japan successfully.

4 Reasons Why Clients Choose Our Office

1. We Design “Visa-Ready Company Incorporation” from the Start

Simply registering a company does not guarantee visa approval. From the outset, we design your articles of incorporation and corporate structure to meet visa requirements—including proof of capital source, office conditions, and a rational business plan.

2. Full One-Stop Service: Legal Affairs Bureau, Immigration, and Banks

In collaboration with affiliated judicial scriveners, tax accountants, and labor consultants, we handle everything from registration and visa applications to bank account setup. By consolidating all services into a single point of contact, we significantly reduce your time and effort.

3. English and Multilingual Support to Overcome Language Barriers

We not only prepare contracts and business plans in Japanese but also provide careful explanations for meetings and documentation. If you’re concerned about communicating in Japanese, please feel free to consult with us in confidence.

4. Ongoing Support After Launch: Licenses, Subsidies, and Business Guidance

Beyond company setup, we provide total support for your business success in Kumamoto—including applications for various licenses (restaurants, construction, etc.), proposals for utilizing subsidies and grants, and advice on finding office space.
