Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we're asked most about subsidy applications.
QHow long does the whole process take to receive the subsidy?
From first consultation to funds in hand typically takes 6 months to 1 year. The Labor-Saving Subsidy takes about 3–6 months and the AI / IT Adoption Subsidy about 2–3 months; the specific timeline is explained in detail at your first consultation.
QIf the application fails, do I have to pay?
Not at all. We strictly follow the "no approval, no fee" principle — if the application fails you pay nothing, including document preparation and travel costs, and this is written into the contract.
QCan I apply if my Japanese isn't good?
No problem at all. Our advisory team works entirely in Chinese, and all Japanese paperwork is handled by our professionals — you only need to provide company information and materials.
QCan sole proprietors apply?
Yes. The Small-Business Sustainability Subsidy, AI / IT Adoption Subsidy, Career-Up Grant, and others are open to sole proprietors; please confirm specific eligibility through a free consultation.
QHow much is the success fee?
Typically 10%–20% of the approved amount, varying by subsidy type and application amount. The exact rate is disclosed with full transparency before you sign, with no hidden costs whatsoever.
QCan newly founded companies apply?
Most subsidies require the business to already be operating, but there are exceptions for early-stage startups (such as the startup track of the Small-Business Sustainability Subsidy); please explore your options through a free consultation.
