“Our initial need was to support our existing global Clients’ local subsidiaries make use of our platform. Next Level identified and hired our trilingual Japan Project and Implementation Manager.
Next Level took care of the selection process and onboarded our resource quickly and easily without any of the legal / HR / administrative hassles that would have been needed if we had decided to set our own local subsidiary at that point. Next Level then added a Sales resource with the same flexibility and ease for us.
Proceeding without Next Level would have required involvement of many internal divisions, selection of external providers, such as accountants, legal counsel, recruiters, etc. There’s no way we could have completed all the process in less than 6 months, assuming we got all mandatory approvals promptly. With Next Level, we were up and running in a matter of weeks.
Once we validated traction in the Japanese market, we decided to set up our own local entity. Next Level hired our Country Manager for AMA XpertEye K.K., and we were also able to transition Next Level’s dedicated staff to AMA XpertEye K.K. seamlessly.
Next Level is also well connected with the local ecosystem, facilitated us exhibiting at many trade shows, and offered us visibility opportunities at French Tech / French Chamber of Commerce in Japan events.”
All the complexities related to establishing an office: real estate, accounting, legal, HR, payments, event applications, suppliers, telecoms, everything was seamlessly taken care of, and required none of my time. I was able to focus on solely our Clients from the get go. Whenever I needed something, Next Level would support and would always be here with solutions, never problems. The office in central Tokyo was pleasant and convenient, and exchanging with the team was always stimulating.
Starting from scratch, especially during Covid could have been stressful and even challenging. Next Level provided total peace of mind, taking all the admin hassles out of the way. ”
