Start a Japanese representative office.

A Japanese representative office is sometimes a cost-effective office for researching the Japanese market and business in Japan. A representative office in Japan might even be useful for managing Japanese distributors and resellers. A Japanese representative office might also be useful for customer service for companies in very specific circumstances (such as companies needing a small local Japanese customer support team to support customers in Japan under a global agreement). A representative office in Japan cannot be a sales office though, cannot be involved in negotiating orders, cannot be involved in invoicing customers, cannot be involved in fulfilling orders, and cannot be involved in collecting payments.

Venture Japan’s representative office setup services packages each include the same premium benefits::

  • All services provided in English.
  • Registration with Japan Pension Service for statutory employee health, pension, and long-term nursing care insurance.
  • Registration with the Labour Standards Inspection Office and HelloWork for statutory unemployment and worker’s accident compensation insurances.

  • Registered hardwood corporate seal.
  • Supporting the representative to open a bank account.
