The requirements differ depending on whether the applicant is a corporation or an individual business owner.
1) For corporations: A total of two guarantors are required — the representative and one additional person.
Note: If the representative does not meet the eligibility requirements to act as a joint guarantor, an additional guarantor is required, bringing the total to three.
2) For individual business owners: Two joint guarantors other than the applicant are required.
Note: As the applicant themselves is the representative, they cannot serve as a guarantor.

Note: Joint guarantors will not be accepted if:
• They are already registered as a representative or guarantor for another Arai Auction member.
• They belong to the same household or work at the same company as the applicant or other guarantors.

Yes, there are three requirements for selecting a guarantor:
1) The person must be a Japanese national or have permanent residency in Japan, and be under 65 years old.
2) The person must have an annual income of at least 3,000,000 yen.
3) The person must own real estate valued at 3,000,000 yen or more. (Co-ownership is not accepted.)
