March 31: We will hold a study session on how to successfully apply for the Small Business Sustainability Subsidy!

Tax incentives such as corporate tax credits are available. Information on support for certified management improvement plans and agency services.

The Management Capability Improvement Plan, once certified, allows companies to receive tax incentives and financial support, strongly promoting their growth. It can also be combined with subsidies and grants, enabling more effective investments. There are many benefits, but if I were to highlight three, they would be related to improving and strengthening cash flow. 1. Tax incentives: Immediate depreciation or tax credit for corporate tax: For certain equipment introduced based on the plan, companies can choose to either fully expense the acquisition cost in the current fiscal year as immediate depreciation or deduct a certain percentage of the acquisition cost (usually 10%, or 7% for small and medium-sized enterprises) from their corporate tax amount as a tax credit. 2. Financial support: Preferential credit guarantees: Small and medium-sized enterprises that receive plan certification can benefit from preferential measures such as expanded credit guarantee limits and reduced guarantee fees from credit guarantee associations. This makes it easier to secure funding for new business developments and capital investments. 3. Additional points for subsidies and grants: Improved acceptance rates: Being certified with a Management Capability Improvement Plan serves as a positive factor in the evaluation of applications for various subsidies and grants implemented by the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency (such as the Subsidy for Sustaining Small Business Operators).

An administrative scrivener will consistently handle the documents and procedures related to your company's subsidy application!

Leave the paperwork and procedures to us. When applying for subsidies, handling paperwork is an important task. From now on, you won’t have to spend long hours reading through dozens of pages of application guidelines or worry about delays in your work progress due to document preparation. For example, you will no longer experience the following: ◼︎ No more hassle with phone calls or addressing deficiencies with the secretariat. Previously: Phone calls from the secretariat were handled by the president or responsible person ⇨ Contacting the requested professional. From now on: The secretariat will contact the administrative scrivener (no phone response needed). ◼︎ You will only need to confirm the documents that need to be prepared (delivery in as little as 3 days). Previously: All irregular documents, such as those needed for additional points, were submitted by the applicant (your company). From now on: Necessary documents will be prepared on behalf of your company with your permission. You will only need to confirm the completed documents. ◼︎ You will no longer face issues with electronic applications. Previously: Inputting information while checking the provided guidelines and sending it. From now on: Smooth online applications in real-time. You can achieve a smooth acquisition of subsidies and create an environment where you can focus on your core business. (*Please note that there may be cases where administrative scriveners cannot act on behalf of applicants due to the rules of each subsidy.)

If you are looking for a business or professional that can provide consistent support from the application to the payment of the manufacturing subsidy, leave it to us!

In fact, there are two types of service providers: those that handle everything from application to payment, and those that only support up to the application stage. If you are looking for a service provider to apply for a subsidy, there is one important point to note. There are service providers that will take care of everything from application to payment, and those that will only assist with the application. Therefore, if you think you can leave everything to them without knowing this, you will have to handle the reporting and application on your own. In fact, we often receive inquiries from clients who unknowingly engaged with such providers and found themselves unable to proceed because they couldn't manage it themselves, or who consulted us due to a lack of funds but received no support and ultimately declined the subsidy acceptance. We also hear from clients who were unable to complete the application or reporting and thus never reached the payment stage for the subsidy. So, if you are looking for a service provider for your subsidy application, please leave it to us, as we can fully support you from application to payment. We can handle everything except for the tasks that cannot be delegated, on your behalf to secure the subsidy. *In many cases, we can also act on your behalf in communications with the administrative office or government.

Do you want to use SOLIDWORKS more conveniently but think, "API seems difficult..."? How about trying to create a macro together? The theme is "Automating just one process." This time, we will create a system that automates the simple task of "saving," which you do manually every time in SOLIDWORKS, so that it can be completed with one click. Even if you have never written code before, that's okay. By simply "tracing and creating together" the necessary parts, you will be able to experience the excitement of actual automation in action. Through this webinar, I hope you will realize, "Oh, I can start with something this small in API." ■ Recommended for: - Those who do not fully understand how to utilize SOLIDWORKS API - Those who are not familiar with macros - Those who want to automate their design processes - Those who want to reduce human errors, even just a little.

[Lecturer] Yoshiaki Otsuki, Special Counsel, Anderson Mori & Tomotsune Law Office, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Rare earth elements are metallic minerals commonly used in electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones, but it is said that a large portion of their production relies on China. However, in light of the recent intensification of U.S.-China tensions and other international circumstances, concerns have arisen regarding the security of rare earth supply. In this context, the development of rare earth projects within Japan's territorial waters or exclusive economic zone (EEZ) has suddenly come into the spotlight. This lecture will focus on the legal aspects of rare earth development projects within Japan's territory, particularly addressing the application issues of the Mining Act, which was amended in 2022. [Lecture Topics] Chapter 1: Introduction - International Situation Surrounding Rare Earths Chapter 2: Application of the Mining Act Regarding Rare Earth Development in Japan's Territory Chapter 3: Future Outlook Q&A / Business Card Exchange

[Speaker] Mr. Daiki Kaneda, President and CEO of AXIA Marketing Co., Ltd. Mr. Atsushi Nagata, Director [Key Lecture Content] With the rise of manufacturers from emerging countries, the modern era is reaching its limits in competition based solely on specifications and price. The key for Japanese manufacturing industries, such as automotive parts, industrial machinery, semiconductors, chemicals, and steel, to regain growth in the global market lies in a "deep understanding of local technology trends and regulations" and a strategy that "avoids falling too deeply into price competition and transforms into added value." In this lecture, we will explain, using specific examples, how to avoid and leverage the latest local needs and pressures of technology transfer, and how to earn trust. [Lecture Topics] 1. The harsh reality of the global market and the redefinition of "reasons to be chosen." 2. Development strategies to break through the pressures of technology transfer and institutional barriers. 3. Game-changing material selection: the forefront of decarbonization and ESG compliance. 4. Learning from successful cases: a roadmap for market development and a "key" to execution. 5. Q&A session.
