Consulting Services

Local Representation

For small or medium sized enterprises not based in Japan, the cost of maintaining staff in Tokyo or other Japanese cities is prohibitive. We can provide a full range of local support, including Japanese email, telephone, fax, and technical liaison.

Market Research

We provide reports on current product availability, competitors, and potential sales, so that you can have market data before making any commercial decisions.

Support in Business Negotiations

Different communication styles and business practices can result in inefficiencies at best, and serious losses in time and funds at worst. Having a local bilingual representative with knowledge of business practices can save much effort. Based on client needs we provide general advice before entering negotiations, interpretation and translation for meetings, and reporting on what followup steps are necessary in order to harvest best results.

Specialist Translation and Interpretation

Professional translation and interpretation require more than just linguistic abilities. Experience in business and/or technology is also indispensable in coping with field-specific nuances and specialist terminology. We can provide translators and interpreters experienced in specific technical or business fields.
