Guide
Spreadsheet Corporate Type Formatting Guide
A guide for normalizing company type notation such as Kabushiki Kaisha, Yugen Kaisha, and Godo Kaisha.
Preserve whether the company type appears before or after the name.
Output formal notation, abbreviated notation, or both.
Multiple or unclear company types are marked for review.
What this generator is for
This generator creates an Apps Script that reads company names and outputs normalized corporate type candidates.
It keeps the before-name or after-name position while converting between formal and abbreviated notation.
It does not verify whether the company legally exists or whether the registered trade name is correct.
