If you want to obtain a secondhand goods dealer license as a corporation, check the articles of incorporation.

 

When applying for an antique dealer license as a corporation, it’s essential to ensure that your company’s articles of incorporation include the necessary provisions related to antique business operations.

In other words, the ``business purpose'' of the articles of incorporation must state that the business is engaged in the secondhand goods business.

Purpose Clause Modification

The purpose clause in your articles of incorporation should explicitly state that your corporation intends to conduct antique business activities. Here are some examples :

  • Abstract Statement:

    • “Antique business operations under the Antique Dealer Law”
    • This abstract statement is sufficient for the purpose clause.
  • Specific Description:

    • “Buying and selling of secondhand books”
    • “Sale and purchase of used electronics”
    • If your business specializes in a particular category of antiques, consider providing a more specific description.

Remember that merely stating “Sale of antique items” without mentioning the purchase aspect is insufficient. Be sure to include both buying and selling activities. Please think carefully about the content of the project purpose statement, in line with the project to be implemented!
