Customer Testimonials
Even complex applications were handled smoothly
Type 1 Adult Entertainment Business applications are very complex and I was anxious with only online info. The scrivener explained everything step by step, supported with documents and floor plans, and provided concrete advice for police meetings. Thanks to their support, I obtained the permit without trouble.

They flexibly handled sudden changes and additions
There were several changes to our store layout and policy mid-application, but each time the scrivener quickly found solutions and took care of police communications. Their flexibility saved us time and hassle.

Permit issued quickly even on a tight schedule
Our opening date was near and we needed the license urgently. The scrivener worked fast, from site surveys to police submission, so we could prepare for opening without delay. I am grateful for their quick action.
F Corporation
All complicated procedures handled for us
I was worried about the time and documents needed for a Type 1 license, but the scrivener handled everything from site visit to police submission. I didn’t need to make multiple visits to government offices, and could focus on my work. All steps were explained clearly, so there was no stress at all.
