Programs we cover
We choose by fit with your business plan, not by program size. Requirements, subsidy rates and caps change every year, so we plan against the guidelines of the specific call you apply to.
-
Capital investment subsidies
Monozukuri, labor-saving and new-business programs, as well as prefectural and agency programs. Core work covers the business plan, supporting documents and application entry; grant application and reporting support are optional.

Digitalization and AI Adoption Subsidy (formerly IT Introduction Subsidy)
We help companies with IT tools register as IT support providers and register their tools, then walk adopting businesses through gBizID, grant applications, performance reports and impact reports. We have been a registered provider ourselves for three fiscal years.
12 customers from the FY2023 cohort completed three years of impact reporting / Provider registration support for an IT venture, a foreign-worker cooperative and an IT company (some in progress)

How our fees work
Each program type has its own fee structure. We walk you through the detailed rates when we meet.
- Capital investment
- Success fees on the Lehman formula: a retainer based on the planned application amount, and tiered success fees on the amount approved. No success fee if the application is not approved.
- IT adoption subsidy
- Fully contingent, with no retainer. Calculated on the granted amount; no fee if no grant is decided.
- Certified plans
- Quoted individually once we confirm the program and scope.
- Free of charge
- The eligibility check and program assessment.
What we don't do
To protect you and the programs, we don't take on the following.
Filing or declaring on your behalf
Submission, declarations and identity-verified steps are done by the applicant. Work reserved for licensed professionals is referred to partner firms.
Guaranteeing approval or amounts
Every grant goes through review. We cannot guarantee approval or the amount granted.
Ordering before the grant decision
Contracts, orders and payments made before the grant decision are generally not eligible. We confirm what to buy and when before you act.
