Japan Market Entry Solution
LEAGLE will help leading foreign IT and Electronics firms entering the Japanese market. We could build up your Japanese subsidiary – as we were your employees. We could also exploit sales channels crucial for a successful entry in Japan, or directly provide a High-Touch Sales service to end-users. Our strength is that we are born out of a consultancy firm. We have a profound background in applying logical methods and expertise knowledge of specific industries. This allows us to directly access the client network of key persons at major companies.
Why LEAGLE?
We are doers.
Although we provide consulting services to many clients, they do not expect typical firm. They expect us to analyze, plan, and EXECUTE. In the execution phase, we cover a wide range of activities, from actually selling our clients new products to acquiring customer companies for our client.
We do more than just leaving a well analyzed business-plan or a well-researched report on our clients’ desk. We are committed to act and provide tangible results. In order to set up the optimal team for each individual project, we hire different types of professionals on a project base, and form a task-force to complete the mission as our clients have demanded, in a much more efficient and cost effective way, than their internal staffs ever could.
We can take RISKS
We are confident of our capabilities.
That’s why we can offer our clients only a minimal fixed-fee in combination with a result-based fee.
Our clients appreciate this as being “fair”.
We can also take risks by putting our own money into a clients’ new business to share both risks and profits.
