Background of Touki Sonar Service Development
Various registries managed by the Legal Affairs Bureau can be acquired by anyone for a fee upon application. Electronic data and other formats can be obtained for several hundred yen per document through local Legal Affairs Bureaus, the Civil Legal Affairs Association website, and other private service sites.
Depending on corporate operations, there are frequent instances where companies must acquire and reference numerous commercial or real estate registries, such as when it becomes necessary to verify accurate information regarding specific legal entities.
The acquisition of these registries for business purposes has become an unavoidable fixed cost for many companies. Depending on the industry and business sector, some large corporations reportedly incur annual fixed costs ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of yen.
uSonar, which maintains a vast database of the latest registries, developed Touki Sonar with the belief that it could contribute to reducing these fixed costs for companies.
The pricing has also been set lower than other available services.
