Updated: July 2025, 12
If a business is inherited from a person who is eligible to participate in a bid due to a "business transfer," "merger," or "company split," can that eligibility be inherited?
Is possible. You will need to apply for a "Bidding Participation Qualification Succession Application Form" etc. to a qualified local government.

・A certified copy of the commercial register ・A copy of the business closure notice of the dissolved company ・A certified copy of the closure register of the dissolved company, etc.
