Questions and answers for anyone considering a consultation on overseas expansion support.
01Scope of support
- What kind of support do you provide?
- We provide cross-functional support for the overseas business of Japanese companies, from launch and building the administrative structure through to exit. We cover both the business side (sales & marketing, strategy & M&A, turnaround) and the administrative side (entity setup, finance, accounting & tax, legal & regulatory compliance, HR & labor). For details, please see Services.
- At what stage of our overseas business can we consult you?
- You can consult us at every stage: launch, administrative structure and exit.
- Are there any limits on the countries, regions or industries you cover?
- We do not limit the countries, regions or industries we work in. Countries and regions where we have a track record include the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, China and Taiwan. By industry, we have a track record in manufacturing, trading & wholesale, finance, IT & telecom, games & content, media & advertising, retail & e-commerce, restaurants & services, real estate & construction, logistics, agriculture & food and healthcare. We are also happy to discuss other industries.
- Can we ask you to handle only part of the work?
- Yes. You can delegate only what you need. We design the scope of our involvement around the number of countries you are entering and the stage of the business, and it can be reviewed to expand, reduce or end as the business progresses. You can also start small.
02How we work
- Who deals with local lawyers and accounting firms?
- We do. We work with local lawyers and accounting firms on legal and tax matters, and we handle all coordination ourselves, including with partners.
- Can you also handle communication in foreign languages?
- Yes. In English (CEFR C2) and Chinese (HSK Level 6), we speak and negotiate directly with local lawyers and bankers and move work forward without interpreters.
- How is this different from hiring a full-time employee?
- Entering one or two countries does not generate enough work for a dedicated hire, so staffing tends to exceed what is needed. Using outside experts lets you delegate only what you need, with costs that reflect the volume and duration of the work. For details, please see Our approach.
