Our consultancy service was started in
Charles W Rayden, an Englishman, and
later enhanced by the late
Goro Inouye. Yoshimitsu Nishi, the Managing Director
who worked
with them for many years, continues their
successes by assisting
overseas companies and individuals
interested in contacting
Japanese industries for future business
development.
While working with CWR and his
colleagues on introducing the
latest overseas technology and products
to Japanese companies,
Yoshimitsu Nishi gained wide ranging
experience and knowhow
that is now available for consultation.
The services we provide are highly
personalized based on the
belief that a real appreciation of the
situation on the spot is an
important ingredient in successfully
completing the work we undertake
for overseas clients. Our main raison d’etre is guiding our
clients
through the tangle of unique problems
that newcomers to the market
invariably meet , such as infrequent
correspondence,
misunderstandings, etc. caused by
different customs and business
practices.
By taking our advice , overseas clients
can protect themselves from
falling into dangerous pitfalls due to
insufficient knowledge of the
local market.
The areas we work in are:
1) Test marketing
new products to determine the sales potential in the
Japanese market before entering into a major operation.
2) Setting up distribution
channels for new products.
3) Confidential
advisory work to improve the efficiency and/or
removing any problems persisting with existing agent or
distribution arrangement, thereby maximizing penetration
4) Locating
possible licensees for products or the latest manufacturing
technology and negotiating licensing agreements.
5) Acting as a
listening post in the market.
6) Coordination and
assistance with overseas clients’ visits and
8) Acting
as an extension of an overseas company’s home office
