Your Partner on the Ground in Japan

Doing business in a new market means understanding how things work locally, building relationships, communicating effectively and having the right people around you.

For smaller companies, flexible local support can be a practical way to establish a presence in Japan without building a full team from the outset.

YUZEN Connect can handle practical work on the ground while you focus on your wider business.

Your Japan Desk

Local Support Without the Overhead of a Full Japanese Team

If you need more than a one-off project but aren't ready to establish a full office, our Japan Desk provides ongoing support based on your requirements.

We can help with:

• Japanese customer and business communication

• Market, customer and distributor research

• Meetings and interpreting

• Local supplier and partner coordination

• Translation and localization

• Exhibitions and events

• General local business support

We work alongside your existing team on an ongoing or project basis. As your business develops, the level of support can grow with it.

What We Can Help With

Market & Localization

Before entering Japan, we can help you understand the market and adapt your website, marketing and other materials for Japanese customers. We can also research potential customers, distributors and business partners.

Business Support

We can provide practical support with everyday communication and administration, including correspondence with Japanese companies, meetings, interpreting and official document translation.

Where legal, tax, immigration or other specialist expertise is required, we can connect you with the appropriate professionals.

Sales & Business Development

We can help you identify potential customers and partners, make initial contact and arrange meetings. We can also provide support at exhibitions and with ongoing communication as relationships develop.
