Grant Consulting for Startups and Small Businesses

Unlock Non-Dilutive Funding for Your Startup in Japan

Japan offers a wide range of public grant (subsidy) programs to support startups — both national and local.

But many of these opportunities remain underutilized by foreign entrepreneurs due to language, complexity, and lack of support.

At KANAI&CO, we provide end-to-end, bilingual subsidy consulting, tailored for foreign-led startups entering or expanding in Japan.

  • METI: “New Business Development Grant
  • SME Agency: Monozukuri Grant, Small Business Support Grant
