Ken:
George, please listen! Emma has been saying, “There is no bank-account! There is no bank-account!” What’s wrong with her? Is she out of money? I wonder if she can survive until the next payday!?
Emma:
I can hear you, Ken! I’m just talking about the establishment of KK (Kabushiki-Kaisha), the company we created the articles of incorporation the other day. KK needs performance of contributions after notarization of the articles of incorporation. If you have forgotten about it, please click the February 2023 article.
George, in this KK’s case, an incorporator is a US corporation and directors at the time of establishment are all US citizens, living in the US. How is the performance of contributions conducted?
George:
In the case of incorporation without outside offering, an incorporator must, without delay after subscription for Shares Issued at Incorporation, pay in the entire sum of moneies relating to the incorporator’s contribution. (Article 34, paragraph (1) of the Companies Act.) The payment of money must be paid at the bank, etc. in Japan. A personal bank account such as the incorporator’s bank account in Japan is usually used to receive the initial deposit. However, in case both the incorporator and directors do not have a bank account in Japan, a third person’s bank account can be used instead.
