What Our Clients Say
Navigating the process of starting a business and applying for the Business Manager Visa in Japan felt complex and daunting. TJ made it manageable by providing clear, step-by-step guidance, ensuring my GK entity was established smoothly. His expertise continues to guide me through the visa process with an easy-to-follow roadmap. TJ's responsiveness and dedication to my specific needs have been invaluable, and I highly recommend him for anyone starting a business in Japan.

InsuriShield G.K.
Tyson and the team thoroughly guided me through the G.K incorporation process, providing easy to understand and professional collaterals throughout, and were in constant communication, able to quickly answer any questions I had along the way. I also really appreciated the support I received on post-incorporation processes such as taxes, labor laws, and bank accounts which, from the research I did, is a level of service that other scriveners tend to not to provide.

Working with TJ gave me the time and the confidence I needed to start my own company in Japan, even while working a full-time job. It was convenient to just work with one person throughout the incorporation process, and TJ was highly responsive, informative and supportive the whole way. We are now working towards the Business Manager Visa. If you're like me, and you believe in your vision but are having trouble finding just how to start a business in Japan, I highly recommend working with TJ.

G.K. Cine
I literally had no idea where to start on creating a K.K. company, and everyone else on social media made it seem like it was an obvious thing! I reached out to Tyson and Teh-Jin and they guided me, step-by-by. They offered options, suggested what I would need, and what I wouldn't need. They're quick, responsive, always helpful, and there's nothing I felt I couldn't ask. There's so much to learn, but knowing I can ask is helping me focus on what I do best, and leaving the rest to them.

K.K KiFor
I was applying for Japanese government subsidies and needed someone I could fully trust who understood the Japanese systems and could guide me through each step. Fortunately, I found TJ Yoon. He helped me translate documents, conduct research, analyze the market, and secure the subsidies. Thanks to his support, we achieved results that could positively transform our business. If you're exploring applying for Japanese subsidies, I highly recommend TJ.

Medic Translate K.K.
Tyson and T.J are an absolute lifeline for trying to start something on your own in Japan. After living here for three years I still struggle to navigate all the paperwork so trying to do my own incorporation was beyond me. We managed to become official pretty smoothly. From helping with the incorporation to honest, frequent communication every step of the way it's been a huge help. They even introduced me to an amazing developer!
Sydney Seekford
Menuwiz K.K.
Starting a business in Japan while living on a U.S. military base felt incredibly complicated, almost like being in two places at once! I honestly didn't know where to begin. Then I found Tyson and TJ. They were quick to respond and provided insightful guidance, truly understanding my unique situation. Their support was a game-changer, giving me the confidence to build something real and lasting, even from that unusual starting point. They patiently walked me through every step, helping me set up my company and plan for life after the base.Â
