One of the biggest problems in establishing an office in Japan is the high cost of living and doing business here. These include the high costs of labor, housing, and office expenses. Also it is not easy for newcomers to understand Japanese social, legal, and business conditions, which can result in additional wastes of time and money.

Sigmatech can help reduce these necessary expenses and eliminate waste caused by unfamiliarity with Japanese customs, regulations, and business practices. Here is how:

First, we will provide you with a complete market investigation in terms of how your products/services compare with other manufacturers in the Japanese market. Our report will present a fair judgment as to whether it is worthwhile to start your business in Japan.

Then, we will provide you with all needed documentation to establish your company here. This includes applications, proposed sales, and proposed size of company or office.

Of course, all of your operations here will be regulated by the laws of Japan, which are complicated even for Japanese. These government rules and regulations can create some of the largest problems in setting up an office or business in Japan.

Normally, foreign companies have very high initial expenses relative to their beginning sales volume. As a result, many small companies hesitate to establish a presence in Japan even if they have competitive, high technology-based products.

Sigmatech's program will allow you to establish your Japanese operation quickly and smoothly so you will maintain your best business opportunity. This will also keep costs down and provide high efficiency.

We are also available to run your office in Japan for several years until you are ready to take over direct control of the operation. We offer such services as locating office space, hiring competent staff, and providing market research and sales activities. We will provide regular reports to you (in English) of all activities.

Sigmatech is here to serve you. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more details.
