Market Access & Representation

Sell in Japan before you build an office there.

We give you an address, a voice and the first people on the ground. You spend the budget on sales. Both directions: Europe to Japan and Japan to Europe.

First customer meetings run through our people on the ground.
What it costs

About half of going alone.

Building a subsidiary alone

€300–500k

in the first two years: entity, office, hiring, management time, and the first mistakes.

With CBI

≈ 50 %

of that budget, and a performing team in weeks instead of months.

Four stages

From first check to your own company.

Weeks 1–6

Assess the market

Customers, competitors, prices, rules. A clear go or no-go.

From month 2

Represent

Our address, our voice: towards customers, authorities and partners.

Year 1–2

Run

First customers, first orders, first local staff.

When you are ready

Build & transfer

Your own entity and team, handed over in working order.

Proof

Ten years and more for one client.

For a German family-owned company we have been the address, the voice and the first people in Japan for more than ten years.
