Building a Business in Japan
Thinking about starting a business in Japan but not sure where to begin?
Join the ICIJ Youth Group for a practical session on what it really takes to build and operate a business in Japan as a foreign founder.
We’ll cover key topics including visas and residency considerations, capital and funding, choosing between a sole proprietorship, GK or KK, company setup, banking, tax, accounting, hiring, and some of the most common mistakes first-time founders should avoid.
The session will also include practical perspectives from entrepreneurs who have built businesses in Japan, followed by an open Q&A for participants to ask questions around setup, immigration, funding and operations.
Entry fee applies. Registration will be confirmed only after payment has been completed.
This event is ideal for anyone currently exploring entrepreneurship or considering launching a business in Japan.
