Core offering

JPass provides one-stop Taiwan-Japan cross-border business support services through two core axes: company incorporation support (Japan/Taiwan legal entity setup, bank account opening, visa applications, introductions to accountants and tax professionals, subsidies, and trademark filings) and advisory/business expansion support (ongoing consulting contracts, investor introductions, funding support, exhibition/event planning, and advertising agency services). The firm positions itself as a 'second operations team' for Taiwanese enterprises entering Japan, with deep cultural understanding of both markets.

Product overview

JPass is a Taiwan-Japan cross-border business consulting company that provides one-stop support services for businesses looking to expand between the two markets. The company operates through two core service axes: company incorporation support (公司設立支援) covering Japan/Taiwan legal entity setup, visa applications, accountant/tax professional introductions, and various applications (subsidies, trademark registration); and advisory/business expansion support (顧問與事業拓展支援) including ongoing advisory contracts, investor introductions, funding support, exhibition/event planning, and advertising agency services. Additional services include business matching (商業媒合), sales outsourcing (業務代行), and distributor search (經銷商協尋). The company positions itself as a 'second operations team' for Taiwanese enterprises entering Japan, emphasizing market validation before incorporation and ongoing operational support.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Tetra Consultants: Singapore-based cross-border consulting firm specializing in company incorporation, immigration, and corporate services across Asia. Similar emerging-stage positioning to JPass with comparable service catalogue and Asia-corridor focus.

Broad incumbents

• Intertrust Group: Global corporate services and fund administration firm with significant presence in Asia, providing incorporation, corporate secretarial, and tax services. Comparable offering to JPass at greater scale and with more jurisdictions.
• TMF Group: Large global provider of corporate secretarial, accounting, tax, HR/payroll, and fund administration services. Operates a wide Asia footprint including Japan and Taiwan services, making it a comparable but larger-scale incumbent to JPass's niche.
• KPMG (Japan and Taiwan member firms): Big4 professional services network with dedicated Japan inbound investment and Taiwan outbound advisory practices. Provides cross-border M&A, tax, and market-entry advisory that overlaps with JPass's higher-end corporate advisory services.

Direct peers

• Acclime: Asia-focused market entry and corporate services firm providing company incorporation, tax, and accounting across multiple Asian jurisdictions. Directly comparable to JPass's one-stop cross-border incorporation and advisory model, though operating at broader Asia scale rather than Taiwan-Japan specialization.
• Hawksford: Global corporate services provider offering company formation, tax, accounting, and advisory services across Asia including Japan. Comparable core offering to JPass (incorporation and ongoing compliance), with the advantage of broader geographic reach.
• Ascentia (formerly part of Dezan Shira): Asia-focused business advisory spun out of the Dezan Shira network, providing cross-border market entry, tax, and HR services. Directly comparable consulting model to JPass for SME and mid-market clients expanding across Asian borders.
• Dezan Shira & Associates: Long-established Asia business advisory firm with deep experience in China and ASEAN market entry, incorporation, tax, and HR/payroll. Closest analog to JPass in the cross-border Asia corporate services space, with similar one-stop consulting model but broader geographic footprint.

Others

• JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization): Japanese government-affiliated trade and investment promotion agency supporting foreign companies entering Japan and Japanese firms expanding overseas. Not a direct commercial competitor but performs overlapping business-matching and market-entry support functions that JPass targets.

Regional players

• Sage Partners (Japan corporate advisory boutiques): Japan-focused boutique corporate advisory firms offering bilingual market entry, incorporation, and M&A support. Comparable niche focus on Japan as a destination market though without JPass's Taiwan-bilateral emphasis.
