Case study
◆Lee in charge: Company A
Request details
I would like to obtain a new antique dealer license for multiple offices nationwide.
Points of trouble
The procedure for changing the office lease contract is complicated and must be done for multiple offices.
Solutions
A rental contract for a business office may involve multiple rights, so it is important to carefully prepare each application one by one.
First, when obtaining a license, you must clarify the location of the leased business premises, and obtain permission from the landlord to operate as a secondhand goods dealer.
We also checked to see if some offices sublease properties.
If the company name at the time of signing the contract is different from the current company name, or if the lender or tenant has changed during the contract, a statement of reasons must be prepared and submitted.
Guests’ Feedback
Even though the inspection and certification of the contract was very complicated and involved multiple offices, they did a great job. Also, there were various changes that were made while preparing to obtain permits, but they were quickly resolved.
◆Yamada in charge: Company B
Request details
Does this business require a secondhand goods dealer license?
Points of trouble
If you are selling raw materials for industrial products and you collect the containers used to sell raw materials and sell them to another business for scrap, you do not know whether you need a second-hand goods dealer license.
Solutions
A secondhand goods dealer is a business that buys, sells, exchanges, or accepts orders from other people to buy, sell, or exchange secondhand goods (used goods). Even if you are not a secondhand shop or used bookstore, you must obtain a secondhand goods dealer license in order to purchase and sell secondhand goods for profit.
We thoroughly understand what we are dealing with and use our expertise and experience to investigate what permits are required.
We listened carefully to the client's business and investigated whether they were a secondhand goods dealer.
We also considered various other possibilities, such as whether we might need an industrial waste collection and transportation license, and conducted preliminary research, ultimately applying for a new secondhand goods dealer license.
Guests’ Feedback
It was difficult to research each and every license needed, but I'm glad they did a thorough research and went smoothly all the way to applying for a secondhand goods dealer license.
◆ In the past, we have received such inquiries...
The antique dealer license is said to be one of the most famous licenses available today.
However, what is surprisingly little known is the application counter.
Having jurisdiction over the location of the business office,Police stationWhat is it?
This is said to be done to prevent the buying and selling of stolen goods due to the nature of the business.
Also, there seems to be a problem because the counter is at a police station.
This is what many of the people who come to us for advice say.
"I'm not sure what documents to submit..."
Unlike city hall, legal affairs bureau, tax office, etc., it is not an institution that issues certificates.
Therefore, even if you ask, "What kind of document is it?", the person in charge will often not be able to tell you in detail.
A common pattern is something like this:
"Prepare the documents that certify ____ and ____. Check it yourself."
I am so busy that I have no amount of time to prepare for starting a new business.
However, this is not the time to be stuck in a place like this.
