Business Permit Application Support Fees

Understand the scope and cost of support before engaging us.

日本語
The figures below are minimum professional fees, inclusive of applicable consumption tax. The same fees apply to Japanese and English support, including ordinary English guidance and communication.

“+” means the fee starts at the stated amount and increases with the procedure, number of premises, available records and agreed scope. Government fees and expenses are separate. An inquiry alone does not incur a fee. If a paid consultation or detailed document review is needed, we explain the scope and cost and obtain your agreement before starting.

Included work and separate expenses

The quotation identifies the professional fee inclusive of applicable consumption tax and the tasks, number of attendances or responses, and scope covered. Government fees, certificates, postage, travel, translation and other professionals’ fees are separate unless expressly included.

If site visits, additional offices or application categories, extensive document organisation, further research or correction work beyond the agreed scope become necessary, we explain the additional work and cost and obtain agreement before proceeding.

Payment and engagement

  1. Tell us the business type, location, procedure and intended timing.
  2. We assess whether we can accept the matter and provide the scope, tax-inclusive professional fee, expenses and payment terms in a quotation or engagement documents.
  3. Work starts after agreement and engagement. For fixed fees, the general arrangement is 50% upfront and the balance upon approval or before delivery, with the specific timing set out in the contract.

Prices shown are minimum professional fees including consumption tax. For Stripe online payments, our online payment fee of 5% is added to the amount payable, including any government fees and expenses being collected. No such fee is charged for payment by bank transfer to our designated GMO account; bank transfer charges are borne by the client. The full total is confirmed before payment. See our payment methods. No payment is required merely to make an inquiry.

These fees apply to new quotations issued after this update on October 9, 2026. They do not retrospectively change existing quotations, confirmed bookings or ongoing engagements.
