　How much do you estimate or actually pay for your business operation in Japan? What functions do you really need in Japan and how to set up?

 

　When you set up your value chain in Japan, having all the functions in your Japan subsidiary is usually too expensive especially at the beginning of your market entry into Japan. For example, the annual costs for having your small Japan team at your own office would be over half a million dollars, which is too big for SMEs. You need to combine the strategic options of partnership and outsourcing for optimizing your business operation and its costs in Japan.
