SERVICE
Services
we provide comprehensive support—from choosing the right business structure to tax and management planning after incorporation.
Startup & New Business Support
We begin by taking the time to understand each client's business
model, goals, and growth strategy. We then evaluate a wide range of
factors—including tax and social insurance costs—to determine
whether operating as a sole proprietorship or a corporation is the
most suitable option, and provide recommendations tailored to your
circumstances.
Where incorporation is the better choice, we advise on the optimal
company structure, including corporate governance, ownership
structure, capitalization, and key tax considerations. Because some
decisions cannot easily be changed after incorporation, we
encourage you to seek professional advice at an early stage. We are
happy to provide incorporation advice on its own—an ongoing
advisory agreement is not required.
Services for Corporations
We provide tax and accounting services—including international tax—and outsourcing services for Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises and foreign-affiliated companies.
