Sole proprietorship:
If you do not yet have a sole proprietorship, apply for Craft, Trade and Industry Law Bureau as a private individual (natural person). You will receive a separate PEID for you as a natural person and for your sole proprietorship. You can recognize natural persons in the dashboard by the "person symbol" (your private address is also shown next to it). Once your application has been successfully checked, the Office of Economic Affairs creates the sole proprietorship in the background and transfers the application to it.

Both the Office of Justice (establishment under commercial law/entry in the Commercial Register Division) and the Office of Economic Affairs (Craft, Trade and Industry Law Bureau) are involved in this procedure. Please write to the Craft, Trade and Industry Law Bureau in advance with your concerns in this regard - we will navigate you through the entire process.
