Office space, kind of

[Hanzo the Razor]

no, but I do have to take a call around 9 or 10 when the boys go to sleep to say goodnight

Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah there is, he hasn't figured out how far he can get with a prerecorded g'night message yet

To paraphrase the OP

Dear total stranger, please help me get around the law for my financial benefit because we are foreigners

Getting around the law without breaking it is called "the game".

And as previously said, don't hate the player... hate the game...

everyone is your best buddy when they want something

It's more or less the same thing as sending out your CV with gayboy@blowme.cum as your primary contact. Good luck with that.

Can't one of the telecommuting employees use their home address as the office address?

It's possible, but I was told it's best to have a business address in an office building. Apparently the authorities scoff at the idea that you can code in your pajamas. It's the same in the US, by the way - if you're just starting a business you can run it out of your bathroom, but if immigration is involved you need a business lease. Go figure.

If this is the case, the thread is "Office space", not "Office space, kind of." And from

I am looking for someone who has space that I will be able to actually use when I hire more employees.

you want more than a serviced office can provide. So you are looking for someone who owns a commercial building in the Tokyo region. You never know, someone here may be in that situation, but it is pretty unlikely. It sounds like you should follow up with real estate agents as your most likely bet.

Thanks, that's very helpful. (now I suspect I might be a bot after all)

So, we're starting a small software development business in Japan, an offshoot of our US firm (but we've been advised we should set it up as a KK rather than a branch office, for various reasons). The people we're going to employ will initially be telecommuting, but for immigration reasons the Japanese emperor still requires that we have an office address and at least the theoretical ability to have two people work in it.

Why Tokyo? If your employees will be telecommuting, office space in Saitama or Yokohama would be a lot less expensive.

ya this would be easiest. if you need help with this I can put you in touch with my friend there. I have known quite a few of these girls for years so I can put you in touch with the decicion maker to make life easy. the only issue i have ever heard with servcorp (japan) is that they take a bit longer than their austrailian counterpart. i figured this was because it is Japanese ran and a few of my friends had said more or less the same thing...
