WHAT TYPE OF COMPANY SHOULD YOU FORM IN JAPAN?
There are three main types of companies and one type of legal structure that can be formed in Japan.
- Kabushiki Kaisha, often shortened to K.K., is a joint-stock company and is considered the most respected company in Japan.
- A Branch office, as the name indicates, is a branch of an overseas company. This type of structure can make sense for certain types of businesses.
- Limited Liability Company or Godo Kaisha in Japanese; often referred to as a G.K. company. Setting up a G.K. company in Japan has a lower startup cost and less stringent requirements than other types of companies.
- Representative Office: If you want to employ one or two people in Japan without creating a company, you may want to consider making a Representative Office. The advantage of this legal structure is that the Representative Office does not need to be registered with the Legal Affairs Bureau or Tax Office since it does not pay taxes in Japan. This structure does have some limitations, though. For example, a Japan Representative Office’s activity is limited to representation and information gathering about the Japanese market. A Representative Office cannot be engaged in sales or marketing activity in Japan.
