Strengths and Practice of Our Services

Case Study 1 – Business Launch Support
- Supporting Market Entry into the Social Lending Sector

  • Client Need

    A client planned to enter the new fields of Social Lending and Crowdfunding platforms — business areas under strict supervision by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) and local finance bureaus, presenting extremely high entry barriers.

  • Our Support

    Within three months of engagement, we successfully identified and placed key management personnel required by the FSA — including a Representative Director, Chief Compliance Officer, and Head of Credit Review — and established the complete organizational framework.

  • Outcome

    - We delivered a recruitment solution that balanced speed of organizational setup with precision of candidate fit, enabling the client to proceed smoothly with FSA registration and license application, ensuring the successful launch of their new financial business."

    Case Study 2– Emergency Replacement Support
    - Rapid Response for a Publicly Listed Financial Institution

  • Client Need

    - A listed financial institution urgently required a replacement for its Head of Internal Audit, designated as a “Key Manager” by the FSA, after an unexpected resignation.
    - Due to the sensitivity and regulatory nature of the role, internal replacement was not feasible within the required timeframe.

  • Our Support

    - We conducted an in-depth analysis of the client’s business operations and compliance schedule,
    and within one month successfully introduced a candidate with prior FSA-approved experience, ensuring business continuity.

  • Outcome

    - We helped the client maintain seamless coordination with regulatory authorities while upholding a high standard of compliance and internal control, securing operational stability during a critical period.
