For businesses that are interested in selling to Japan online, it is important to know Japanese internet users surfing habits as well as the device they use to go online.

Yet it remains a lucrative market for online retailers.  Small businesses that have successfully entered Japan are gaining strong sales in a continually growing online commerce market.

However, having a presence in the Japanese market certainly does not equal increased sales. It's important to know the surfing habits of your Japanese buyers so that you, as a small business owner, can compete with larger companies by delivering pinpoint marketing messages at the right time using the right internet device.

Running your own small business is a great thing especially when everything is going well. But we all know not all business ventures can become successful. Sometimes your business may not developed the way you had originally hoped and part of doing business is knowing when to call it quits or cut your losses.  In Japan, you can just put your company on a break while you rework your business plan rather than closing your company altogether.  This is called putting your company in dormancy, also known as kyuumin (休眠) in Japanese . The application process is quite simple. If you’ve decided to put your company in dormancy, all that is needed is a submission of a one-page form called idoutodokesho (異動届書) to the tax office in the district where your company is registered.
