Representation & Business Development
We are not a distributor. We are your team on the ground — finding and qualifying the partners worth having, opening doors through people who already know us, and representing your brand with partners and press in Japan. You keep ownership of the brand and the relationships.
Distributor & importer sourcing
We identify the importers and distributors who actually move your category, then qualify them on fit, reach, margin expectations and how they treat the brands they already carry.
Warm introductions, not cold outreach
The right doors in Japan open through relationships and referral, rarely through a cold email. We introduce you through the network we already have.
Negotiation support
We sit on your side of the table for terms, margin structure, exclusivity and minimums — with the context to tell you when an offer is normal for Japan and when it is not.
Your representative in-market
Where you want it, we represent you formally: the local face for partners, buyers and press, coordinating everything as your team in Japan.
Press & category visibility
The trade and consumer press that matters for your category, plus the community where reputation in Japan is actually built.
An honest read
If we think your category, price point or timing is wrong for Japan right now, we will tell you before you spend, not after.
How we work together
Longer engagements are built from a monthly retainer for the team and work we run, a commission on the sales we develop so our incentives sit with your growth, and optional Japan exclusivity scoped by category and term — only if you want it. We shape that mix around your priorities, and we scope it on a call rather than selling a fixed package.
Tell us which market you are trying to open, and we will tell you who we would go to first.
