Is the share capital part of what I pay OCC for a Japanese company?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

No. The package covers the set-up work and government fees. The capital is your company's own money: before registration it is paid into a designated bank account, often one held by a promoter or director, and the bank statement becomes evidence for the filing (confirm the account route with your specialist).
