Running a Business in Japan: The Legal & Financial Essentials

🌏 Join us for an insightful session on navigating the complexities of starting a business in Japan!

A Taiwanese company entering Japan faces crucial questions:

• What legal structure should you adopt? 🤔
• Which contract terms are safe to sign? 📝
• When do your tax obligations begin? 💰
• How can you legally hire employees? 👥
• Can you transfer customer data collected in Japan back to Taiwan? 🔄

These questions, while seemingly administrative, significantly impact your costs and risks in Japan. Making informed decisions early can save you from costly changes later.

Five specialists will guide you through these decisions:
