Do I need a university degree to form a company in Japan?
While having a university degree can be advantageous when forming a company in Japan, it is not a strict requirement. The primary focus is on your professional experience and qualifications in your chosen industry.
For those without a university degree, demonstrating a strong work history and relevant skills is crucial. Immigration authorities will assess your application based on factors such as:
- Years of experience in your field
- Professional certifications or licenses
- Proven track record of successful projects or businesses
- Testimonials or references from clients or employers
At OPEN WORLD, we help clients showcase their expertise and experience effectively, even without a university degree. We assist in compiling comprehensive documentation of your professional background, including:
- Detailed resume or CV highlighting your skills and achievements
- Portfolios or work samples demonstrating your abilities
- Recommendations or references from previous clients or supervisors
- Relevant certificates, licenses, or training completions
By presenting a strong case for your qualifications and experience, we help you navigate the company formation process and increase your chances of success, regardless of your educational background.
Our team works closely with you to identify your strengths and create a compelling narrative that highlights your expertise and value proposition. We also provide guidance on how to structure your business plan and application to emphasize your professional merits and mitigate any concerns about lack of formal education.
While a university degree can provide additional credibility, it is not the sole determining factor in forming a company in Japan. With the right preparation, documentation, and support, you can establish your business and achieve your entrepreneurial goals based on your skills and experience.
