When you want to set up a new company in
Since law pertaining to new companies (new corporate law) went into effect in May, 2006, it is now possible to set up a new company with a small amount of capital.
In the new corporate law, the following were the main points that were revised.
1. Only 1 yen of capital is required, revised from the previous requirement of 10 million yen.
2. Only one director is needed to establish a company now, where three directors and one auditor were necessary previously.
3. Preparation time needed for registration is substantially shortened, as payment of capital is not necessary and a safekeeping fee is not required.
4. When electronic authentication is used, the certification of articles of association is 0 yen. There is a 40,000 yen fee if electronic authentication is not used. This is one of the advantages of using a professional lawyer for the procedure.
