An Extensive Sphere for International Business



What about your job, Mr. Shiota?

    Shiota
    Last year, the Financial Supervisory Agency was created. In the U.S., you can easily open a business in some states. So, in the midst of deregulation, there was a trend to establish an office in Japan by companies selling insurance and financial products which had been started up in the U.S. When I accepted this type of work, I discovered that besides incorporating a company, there were other things which needed to be executed such as filing notices with the Financial Supervisory Agency and the Bank of Japan. It was then that I understood the extent of this business. I had not realized that there were so many things in which we could become involved. In this sense, one can specialize in work with companies investing in Japan.

    Currently, I am assisting a company which is attempting to build a support system for its production line in China such as representative office or a branch. Nevertheless, compared to Japan, the process is very difficult. I am intrigued by this assignment because I have to think how to go about clearing each obstacle.

    Listening to Mr. Shiota, I would like to mention that there are other permit matters, besides parking permits and construction related permits and authorizations, which need to be explored. Additionally, I feel that even in the realm judicial affairs, there are other service areas into which we have not yet wandered. As long as you study, become qualified and accumulate experience, whether it is in terms of judicial affairs or permits and authorizations, countryside or metropolitan area, not only should it be possible for administrative scriveners to sustain their practices, but, I think their prospects for the future are extremely attractive.
