We had a chat with the Koruses and Takeshi kindly gave some practical advice on where to stat in our journey to our own brewery. He said there are briefly two aspects to consider when starting a business: procedural and strategical. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Procedural aspect |
|
|
|
-Check out the village office (村役場) to see what kind of support they can provide e.g. grants. |
|
|
|
-Check out the local chamber of commerce (商工会議所). They often hold seminars for members and give practical advice on how to write a business plan. |
|
|
|
-If you will need financial supports, consider Japan Finance Cooperation (日本政策金融公庫) and Shinkin Bank (信用金庫) offer lower interest rates for startups than local banks. |
|

|
|
2. Strategical aspect |
|
|
|
For a small business that is based in a small community, there is probably no need of an 'ambitious' business plan. Rather, you may want to learn about basics of marketing. There are many free tools available on the internet that help you visualise your business (search for 'business model campus'). You may also teach yourself basics of accounting. Freee is a free accounting software. |

I found [the Hidaka Village Society of Commerce and Industry] (http://www.kochi-shokokai.jp/hidaka/). Also ask Shunpei about it as I remember he mentioned it several times. As for grants, financial supports and accounting skills, ask my mum. For accounting, it may be a good idea to buy a book or two on Kindle. |
