What we do

Small Business Japan, as well as Posse Nippon as the operator of the news site, provides helpful information for those doing business or planning to do business in Japan. We also offer the following services.

Subsidies in Japan and interpretation

Interpretation for business (English)

We provide interpretation services for those who wish to consult with public institutions such as local governments or financial institutions but lack confidence in their Japanese language skills.

Our rate is ¥5,000 + tax. We recommend using our services online, but we can also meet in person in Tokyo and surrounding areas if you cover our transportation costs.

Assistance with subsidy applications

We assist with subsidy applications, including researching and preparing application forms and other related documents.

Fees vary depending on the nature of the work. If you have any questions, feel free to contact small-business-japan[at]posse-nippon.com.

We also help to change the company address at Homukyoku. Go to the article below and make use of the documents on the page. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact small-business-japan[at]posse-nippon.com.
