Message from the Global Inbound Group (GIG) Leader

Total support for foreign companies developing business in Japan

Following globalization in recent years, more foreign companies are developing business in Japan, which has also led to further development of an investment environment to accommodate this trend. Japan should welcome foreign companies entering Japan from the perspective of vitalizing the economy and employment. However, there are regulations particular to Japan as well as risks lying beneath the surface when going about doing business.

Global Inbound Group (GIG) has gathered the essential knowledge for foreign companies to develop business in Japan by working with Deloitte Tohmatsu Group firms in addition to Deloitte in many other countries.

To resolve the issues that arise when facing each stage of entering the market and to meet the needs of different industries, we use Deloitte Tohmatsu’s network to offer a one-stop service for smoothly developing business in Japan.

The Guide for Investing in Japan - Doing Business in Japan

The Guide for Investing in Japan lays out appropriate processes and approaches that foreign companies need to consider when entering the Japanese market. I hope that this guide provides reference for every foreign company developing business in Japan by considering all business perspectives.
