Customer Testimonials


Fast and effective response to urgent requests

My opening date was near and I had to file the late-night alcohol notification, which made me very anxious. After contacting this office, I quickly received a response and clear guidance about required documents and procedures on the same day. The paperwork and government submission were also prompt, so I could open on schedule. I am truly grateful for their speedy support.

Company B

All the troublesome procedures were taken care of for me

The notification process was much more complicated than I expected, involving police, government offices, and making floor plans. Thanks to the administrative scrivener, I could leave everything to them with confidence. There were no mistakes, and the time and stress were greatly reduced, so I could focus on preparing to open my business.

Sole Proprietor T

Even complicated procedures could be entrusted with peace of mind

As I was opening a bar for the first time, the process for late-night notification seemed complicated and I wasn't sure about the legal or floor plan requirements. The administrative scrivener answered my basic questions thoroughly, supported me with all the documents and drawings, and handled all communication with the authorities. I could focus on opening my bar and felt very reassured. Hiring a professional was the right decision.

Sole Proprietor Y

Professional advice and thorough aftercare

They carefully explained important points to consider after notification and how to respond to future legal changes. Even after opening, whenever I had questions, I could consult with them quickly, and their aftercare was perfect. I feel I can always rely on their support going forward.
