Overview

Set-up of Local Entity

The timing for setting up a subsidiary or a representative office in Japan needs to be coordinated wisely with your ongoing sales activities. Before switching from sales of products from abroad via the Internet to sales by a Japanese partner or your own Japanese subsidiary, differences in the applicable laws and regulations have to be addressed. The acquisition of business licenses, the analysis of the regulatory compliance of your products and the availability-check of your business and product names as well as their registration becomes indispensible. Your Japanese partners might view you as a potential competitor such that the dynamics of your partnerships will change. In such settings, we connect you and provide you with all the needed consultation, services and information.
