Establish Your Business in Japan with FujiCore
Choosing the right business structure is crucial for your company’s success in Japan. Below are the main types of business entities you can register:
Joint-Stock Company – Kabushiki Kaisha (KK)
Kabushiki Kaisha, or KK, is the most recognized and reputable business structure in Japan. It is often chosen by larger enterprises and foreign investors due to its credibility and strong corporate governance framework. A KK requires at least one director and offers limited liability protection to its shareholders. This structure is ideal for businesses seeking long-term growth and investment opportunities.
Limited Liability Company (LLC) – Godo Kaisha (GK)
Godo Kaisha, or GK, is similar to an LLC in other countries and is preferred by small to medium-sized businesses due to its flexibility and simplified corporate structure. A GK is easier to set up and manage than a KK while still providing limited liability protection. It is a popular choice among startups and foreign entrepreneurs who want a cost-effective corporate structure.
Branch Office – Shiten
A branch office is an extension of a foreign company that operates in Japan. Unlike a KK or GK, a branch office does not have a separate legal entity and operates under the foreign parent company’s name. It is a good option for businesses that want to expand their operations in Japan without establishing a new corporate entity.
Representative Office – Chuzaiin Jimusho
A representative office is the simplest way for a foreign company to establish a presence in Japan. However, it is limited to non-commercial activities such as market research, promotion, and liaison work. It cannot engage in sales or direct business transactions in Japan. This structure is suitable for companies testing the Japanese market before making a full entry.
Sole Proprietorship – Kojin Jigyo
A simpler option for entrepreneurs, sole proprietorship allows individuals to run a business without establishing a separate legal entity. While easy to set up, personal liability is unlimited.
