Where to consult if you have trouble expanding into Japan

When expanding into Japan, real estate, companies, taxation, human resources, IT, and sales all occur at the same time, so it is important to classify the issues first.

This page not only provides general information, but also organizes the order and points to check when actually preparing. For people coming to Japan from overseas, it is important to proceed with plenty of time, as each procedure can take time due to differences in language and systems.

Divide the problem into areas

By dividing the information into corporate, residence, tax, labor, real estate, sales, IT, etc., you can see where you need to consult.

Conditions vary depending on the person and company. The most efficient way to proceed is to organize your purpose, timing, budget, and necessary language support, and then check only the parts you don't understand with a specialist.

Deal with issues that have deadlines first

Check the contract deadline, stay deadline, payment deadline, etc.

Conditions vary depending on the person and company. The most efficient way to proceed is to organize your purpose, timing, budget, and necessary language support, and then check only the parts you don't understand with a specialist.

Organize your materials in one place

Organize contracts, estimates, company materials, emails, etc.

Conditions vary depending on the person and company. The most efficient way to proceed is to organize your purpose, timing, budget, and necessary language support, and then check only the parts you don't understand with a specialist.

Use JCBO as an entrance

If multiple fields are involved, JCBO will sort out the situation and connect you with the necessary companies and experts.

At the implementation stage, decide on the person in charge and the deadline.

Once the plan is finalized, make a list of who will decide, by when, and what will be decided. If the overseas head office, Japanese person in charge, or external expert is involved, the decision will likely go awry if the approver and contact point are not made clear. Setting a regular confirmation date and updating only undecided items will make progress management easier.

Assuming continued operation on the Japanese side

We not only think about operations immediately after entering the business, but also about operations six months and a year from now. By organizing who will be in charge of customer relations, billing, contract renewals, recruitment, accounting, web updates, etc., you can prevent your company from becoming too dependent on the head office after startup.
