1. Consultation with specialists on business establishment
Attorneys-at-law, judicial scriveners and administrative scriveners (gyoseishoshi lawyers) are among the specialists who may be consulted on the ハイパーブラックジャック branch offices and companies. These specialists can prepare various documents (e.g., documentation related to the ハイパーブラックジャック Japanese branch offices and Japanese corporations, transfers of location, changes of executives, changes of business purposes, increases in capital, organizational changes, mergers, dissolution, etc.) and help with acquiring a visa upon a client’s request. Filing of commercial registration applications for submission to the Legal Affairs Bureau as attorney-in-fact is the exclusive province of judicial scriveners and attorneys-at-law.

2. Opening of corporate bank accounts
Please refer to the following information for opening a corporate bank account.
Notice from the Japanese Bankers Association
In general, the following documents are required to open a corporate bank account. However, the necessary documents vary by financial institution, so, please check with the bank where you will apply for an account for details.
- Certificate of the registered matters of the corporation
- Corporate seal registration certificate
- Identification documents of the person in charge of the transaction (who applies for the account at the bank)
- Seal (stamp) to be registered for banking transactions (bank seal)
-
(Note)
- Please purchase a bank seal for banking transactions at a specialty shop. (However, it is usually possible to divert the registered seal as a bank seal.)
- Each financial institution conducts screening when opening a corporate bank account and may decline the application based on comprehensive judgment. Generally, details of the screening are not disclosed.
- Account trading and money laundering are crimes. To prevent such crimes, financial institutions are required to conduct strict screening of bank accounts and confirmation of unnatural transactions.
- Financial institutions may inquire about your transactions from the perspective of continuously managing/grasping your account information. Please cooperate in responding to the inquiries in consideration of the above perspective.

When opening a corporate bank account, in addition to the above-mentioned perspective of preventing crimes such as account trading and money laundering, the actual business conditions may also be examined. Accordingly, the company may be required to explain its corporate profile and financial condition, including information on its beneficial owner(s) (see Note below), the purpose of opening the account, and the details of the business (including the license or permit if the business is a licensed or authorized business). Since incomplete submissions or delays in responding to inquiries may be judged unreliable, it is advisable to prepare in advance explanatory materials on such matters (e.g., websites for corporate profiles), certificates, agreements, etc. and respond promptly and reliably.

(Note)
Refers to an individual(s) who is able to effectively control business management in a corporation (see 1.3.2 Registration of ハイパーブラックジャック a subsidiary company).
3. Procedures for establishing a ハイパーブラックジャックfice
ハイパーブラックジャックfices aimed at the collection and provision of information may be freely established without any registration requirements under the Companies Act; no notification need be provided to tax offices, as ハイパーブラックジャックfices do not engage in business operations in Japan and thus are not subject to corporate tax. However, ハイパーブラックジャックfices established by foreign banks, insurance companies, securities companies, or other financial institutions are exceptions; prior notification must be provided to the Financial Services Agency for such ハイパーブラックジャックfices (as stipulated in the Banking Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and other laws).
As a ハイパーブラックジャックfice cannot open a bank account in its own name, the head office of the foreign company or an individual such as a ハイパーブラックジャック the office opens a bank account in place of the office (see 1.1.1). When a ハイパーブラックジャック the office opens a bank account on behalf of the office, the name of the bank account usually contains both the name of the ハイパーブラックジャックfice and that of the individual representative as in "(name of representative), Japan ハイパーブラックジャックfice, (name of company)."
In this case, the following documents are generally required:
- Passport of representative
- Resident card of representative
- Company brochure
- Leasing agreement
- Bank seal
