COMPANY ESTABLISHMENT PROCEDURES AND DOCUMENTS REQUIRED Hangil Solicitor Office First of all, foreigners or foreign companies intending to establish a company in Korea (hereinafter referred to as “the foreign investors”) they have to determine the type of business they want to do in Korea. ﾞ Jusik hoesa and yuhan hoesa are most commonly used types of companies in Korea.
They have many features in common. Their capital stock is divided into units, and holders of such units are liable only up to their respective investment amounts. ﾞ Jusik Hoesa is most similar to a corporation in the US, notwithstanding certain jurisdiction-specific nuances and variances. For numerous reasons, such as more financing options, listing and issuance of corporate
bonds, and clarity of applicable laws, jusik hoesa is the most common type of business entity in Korea.
ﾞ Unlike a jusik hoesa, yuhan hoesa’s equity interest cannot be securitized. Further, such units are less freely transferable than shares in a jusik hoesa. But some investors prefer the yuhan hoesa due to less strict disclosure, audit, and other legal requirements. For example, yuhan hoesa has no external audit requirement.
ﾞ The procedure and required documents of incorporation are the same for two types of company.

자주 묻는 질문
외국인투자 신고는 어디서 하나요?
국내에서 영업하는 은행에 신고서를 제출합니다. 은행이 신청을 접수했다는 확인을 받은 뒤에는 그 은행에 회사를 등록하는 절차(Bank Registration)를 거쳐야 하고, 그 다음에 투자금을 송금하게 됩니다.
법인 설립 때 법무사가 작성해 주는 서류는 무엇인가요?
정관과 주주총회·이사회 의사록 등 설립 등기에 쓰이는 서류와 등기 신청서, 인감 신고서 등 각 기관에 제출할 서류를 작성해 제출을 대행합니다. 목적에 맞게 재작성하여 관할 기관에 낼 수 있도록 정리하는 것이 법무사의 역할입니다.
서류를 보낼 때 무엇을 조심해야 하나요?
