GVA TECH Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Shun Yamamoto), which develops and operates LegalTech services such as "GVA Corporate Registration," conducted a survey of 135 user companies of "GVA Corporate Registration" regarding document-related procedures occurring after company establishment and the burdens and challenges felt during that process.
As a result of this survey, among the procedures occurring after company establishment, the "new application for social insurance (health insurance and pension)" (48.9%) was felt to be the most burdensome, followed by "opening a corporate bank account" (43.7%).
Coupled with financial hurdles such as a lack of knowledge and the need to raise funds, the reality became clear that entrepreneurs immediately after establishing a company feel a significant burden from complex back-office procedures.

■ Background of the Survey
"GVA Corporate Registration" is a service that allows you to create registration application documents and attachments such as minutes yourself in as little as 7 minutes by entering the necessary information. Through a mechanism that automatically reflects the company's registration information, it enables accurate document creation with minimal input, and is used by over 30,000 companies, mainly newly founded companies, SMEs, and startups.
It launched the service targeting stock companies (Kabushiki Kaisha) in January 2019, and has now expanded its scope to include change registrations for limited liability companies (Godo Kaisha), limited companies (Tokurei Yugen Kaisha), and general incorporated associations (Ippan Shadan Hojin).
In this survey, we investigated the "experiences of feeling burdened" not only in company establishment procedures and change registrations, but also in various procedures and document submissions that occur after the company is established.
We hope this will be a useful reference for those considering providing support or services to companies immediately after establishment.

■ About GVA Corporate Registration
"GVA Corporate Registration" is a service that can automatically create registration application documents and attached documents in as little as 7 minutes by entering the items required for registration application. By automatically reflecting the information of the company applying for registration, accurate documents can be created with minimal input.
Registration application is completed by stamping the created documents, affixing revenue stamps (registration license tax), and mailing them to the Legal Affairs Bureau. In addition, optional services that reduce the hassle of application, such as the "Complete Omakase Plan," "Easy Mailing Pack," and "Registration Certificate Option," are substantial, and it is also possible to purchase revenue stamps, which are troublesome to buy, as a set.
Traditionally, the main options for company change registration in commercial registration were to either create the documents and apply yourself, or to request a judicial scrivener. However, for SMEs, recurring registration tasks were a burden in terms of both cost and procedure.
Furthermore, even though it is legally prohibited for persons who are not judicial scriveners or lawyers to act as agents in company/corporate registration procedures or create registration application documents, "non-judicial scrivener acts," where unqualified persons accept requests for registration tasks, have also become a problem. Due to this, there were concerns about the possibility of troubles arising, such as exorbitant fees being charged or inappropriate registration procedures being carried out.
By using GVA Corporate Registration, a company can prepare registration documents and registration applications for basic change registrations in-house cheaply, accurately, and speedily.
