About This Event
On 17 September 2025, VenturesLink hosted a free online webinar — “A Guide to Establishing a Company in Japan” — designed for Indonesian businesses ready to formalize their Japan market entry but unsure where to start. Director Toma Yamashita and Senior Business Consultant Michiko walked through the four legal entity options foreign companies can use to operate in Japan — from low-commitment Representative Offices to full Kabushiki Kaisha incorporations — and shared the trust-building strategies that determine whether Japanese partners take you seriously.
💡 Choosing the wrong legal entity can cost you 12–18 months of expansion progress — many Indonesian companies default to setting up a Kabushiki Kaisha (KK) because it’s the most “official,” when a Representative Office or Branch Office would have served their actual goals at a fraction of the time and cost. The decision should follow your business model, not the other way around.
