Customer Feedback
I was able to apply with peace of mind even as a first-timer
It was my first time applying for the All-Government Unified Qualification (ZenShocho-Toitsu), and I was worried because there were so many required documents and attachments, and I heard that incomplete applications would not be accepted. When I asked an administrative scrivener for help, they explained the process and points to note in detail, and supported me in checking documents and advising on missing materials. They also kept me updated on the progress after submitting the documents, so I was able to leave everything to them with peace of mind until the very end.
Company B
They handled urgent cases quickly
My boss told me I needed to get a bidding qualification immediately, and I had to proceed quickly. When I consulted, they immediately informed me of the required documents and procedures, and smoothly proceeded with preparations and submission. Thanks to them, I was able to obtain the qualification even with a tight schedule. I am grateful for their prompt response.
Company F
It was truly easy leaving all the complicated procedures to them
Applying for the All-Government Unified Qualification (ZenShocho-Toitsu) or municipal bidding qualifications involves a huge amount of documents and checking detailed requirements, so I honestly couldn't handle it myself. By outsourcing to an administrative scrivener, I was able to leave everything from collecting and preparing documents to submitting to government offices, and focus on my main business. They also kept me informed of the progress at every stage, so I could complete the procedures without worry.
Company H
Professional advice and continuous support are reassuring
Application requirements and submission documents vary by municipality, making it difficult to handle everything in-house. The administrative scrivener was well-versed in the differences and the latest system revisions, and provided accurate advice. They also offered ongoing support for renewals and submission of additional documents, so I feel I can rely on them for the long term.
