4. Franchise your business

Another option for Japanese market with a proven business model is franchising.
Effectively, your Japanese franchisee takes on the risk of setting up in a different location in Japan, but you still have to put in the hard work to manage your franchises and it needs to be a business model that can work in multiple locations in Japan. We will be able to provide a possible franchisee company for you.

5. License a product

One option available is to license your product to Japanese company. This is where a Japanese company takes over the responsibility for producing and distributing the products. But they take the share of the profits and pay your royalties. Some entrepreneurs have made successful businesses from licensing such things as designs, games and software, leaving them more time to come up with new products.

6. Sell complementary products or services

This could involve selling a related products or service from a third party or from you which you make commission on, or you could put your skills to use producing something that fills a gap in Japanese market called cross-selling.
