FAQ
We pick up items that many questions from everyone and questions that can be expected when you go overseas, and post it here in the form of FAQ. We will update the FAQ regularly, so please refer to it.
- Basically, there is no difference from overseas or in Japan as a way to find suppliers and develop sales channels.
The only difference is the difference between language and commercial law.
- To put it in a nutshell overseas expansion is not the only way to establish a company overseas and set up a base, and employ offices, production bases and local people.
Without having a base overseas, there is also a method to export products from Japan, or to produce products in response to requests from overseas. The former, of course, has a great deal of financial risk, but the latter is almost low risk if you use the service of Xiphos.
- It differs depending on the brand you chose, but all the troublesome exchanges with foreign companies are handled by the company. Please rest assured!
- First of all, your products, technologies and strengths We will accurately understand, etc., and select and list foreign companies in line with customer requirements.
After that, we will create products, company introductions, PR, and materials in English, and we will also carry out company PR, negotiations (partly), and other troublesome exchanges.
- The website is just a brochure.
It is the main component of the Xiphos service to create documents and conduct sales directly to the relevant company. When selling to the company, the person in charge looks at the website of the company and aims to find secondary effects such as finding companies that are interested in it.
- The target companies are not limited to the manufacturing industry, but can handle all types of industries.
Overseas, the evaluation of Japanese food etc. is also rising year by year, and in some cases, there is also a type of business that is likely to achieve results faster than the manufacturing industry.
The best way is to look at the newspaper and the latest news for the country you have asked.However, it would be difficult to see the news in English, as it would be huge in volume, so it is better to start with the Japanese version of a newspaper that covers news from around the world such as BBC news I think.
It will be held on an occasional basis, but can be arranged in line with the person’s stay in Japan.In addition, if a large number of people gather, you can return home for the start of the course.
- Foreign companies can make decisions very quickly, and if they understand that they are excellent products and technologies, there is an immediate possibility of contracting.
But it also depends on the situation from time to time and when you want the foreign company to do it. Besides, it is also possible to negotiate the terms and conditions, such as fees, etc., when making a product or an order, so it will be difficult to say if the result will come out by any time.
- Communication with foreign companies is different in culture and commercial law, so it may take longer than in Japan.
As it is expected that it will take about one year as a guideline, it is this kind of contract term.
- In addition to the Japanese manufacturing industry, which was highly evaluated originally, food and fisheries, alcohol, crafts, etc. are also highly evaluated.
Even things that are quite commonplace in Japan may be highly appreciated overseas. Please be assured that even if you are looking for a marketable product or technology, the experienced staff will deliver advice and information regularly.

With the network spread throughout the world, we can change agent sales to countries that value the customers’ products and technologies the most.
It will become an IT industry if you do it.In the case of IT programming, etc., foreign languages such as English are often the basis, and it may be difficult to enter overseas based on Japanese-based development.
- For example, in other companies’ sites, anyone can easily post their products.
As major internet sites have high search hit rates, it is possible for more people to see their products.
However, because there are many similar products, it is very difficult for consumers to choose their own products, unless they are taken up by the impact or the media, and it is highly likely that they will not see the light of the day.
At Xiphos, the main focus is not on the web, but at the outset we understand the ideas, products and technologies of our customers, create presentation materials etc in English, and have the right to select and decide on target companies closely related to our customers.

However, foreign companies are very early in their judgment, so if the product matches the needs, there may be cases where the business talk has been completed in as little as two weeks.
- For example, if you go on a business trip with two people, it may vary depending on the number of days,
If you include travel expenses, accommodation expenses, food expenses, etc., you need about 200,000 yen per person. If you do this twice a year, it costs about 800,000 yen. In addition, there is also a reality where unfortunately you can not decide on business negotiations during a business trip.
