Operating a local entity in Korea means more than payroll, tax and accounting. The Korean Commercial Act and related regulations impose ongoing corporate governance obligations on Korean companies, including annual shareholders’ meetings, board oversight, director term management and timely commercial registry filings.
KOISRA UP provides Corporate Secretarial & Governance Services in Korea tailored for foreign-owned and Korean companies. We help you stay compliant, reduce risk and keep your Korean entity inspection-ready for auditors, shareholders, banks and investors.

Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Minute Book
We assist you in planning, convening and documenting your annual shareholders’ meeting in Korea, including bilingual notices, agendas, resolutions and minutes. Holding at least one AGM per fiscal year and keeping proper minutes at the principal office is mandatory under Korean law, and non-compliance may result in fines and practical risks.
Board of Directors’ Meetings & Board Minute Book
For companies that have a Board of Directors, we help you design an annual board calendar, prepare agendas and resolutions, and draft compliant board minutes. Regular board meetings and proper minutes are a core element of corporate governance in Korea and support effective supervision of management.
Director (Re-)Appointment & Term Management
Directors in Korea are generally appointed for terms not exceeding three years and must be reappointed or replaced and properly registered. We track director term expiry, prepare shareholders’ resolutions, handle reappointment and resignation documentation, and coordinate with Korean professionals for timely commercial registry filings.
Alteration of Principal Office (Registered Office) Address
When your Korean company relocates its head office, the new principal office address must be registered with the court and other authorities within a short statutory period, typically within two weeks. We support board and shareholder resolutions, registry filings, tax-office updates and alignment with lease or virtual office arrangements.
Statutory Books & Corporate Registers
We establish and maintain statutory books such as shareholder and director registers, AGM and board minute books and related corporate records kept at the principal office. Proper maintenance of these books is a legal obligation and a key focus area for audits, due diligence and corporate transactions.
Year-End Governance & AGM Timeline Control
We coordinate the yearly cycle between financial statement preparation, audit, board approval and AGM approval. Our team helps ensure that your Korean entity follows normal practice in Korea for finalising and approving year-end documents in line with the Commercial Act and any applicable external audit requirements.
Ongoing Governance & Compliance Advisory
We provide ongoing guidance on Korean corporate governance rules, review your Articles of Incorporation and help align local governance practices with your global policies. For complex or sensitive matters, we work closely with licensed Korean attorneys and judicial scriveners to provide integrated support.
