/ Japan × Korea
Connecting you with local partners and supporting your business from launch through operations and expansion.
Business practices, consumer preferences, store operations, and payment systems differ between Japan and South Korea. Expanding across borders requires an understanding of the local market, partners who fit your plans, and terms that work for both sides.
RG supports Korean companies entering Japan and Japanese companies expanding into Korea. We listen to your needs and goals, then draw on our own industry network, with a focus on food service and franchising, to identify suitable local partners. Whether you are looking for intellectual property (IP) or brands to bring to a new market, starting a new business, or forming a partnership, we help you develop a practical approach.
RG is your single point of contact for partner introductions, negotiations, local procedures, store setup, marketing, and system development. We manage communication in Japanese and Korean so everyone involved has a shared understanding, working with you from preparation through operations and expansion.
/ Services
01
We assess the market, competitors, and business practices to develop an approach that fits your plans. We adapt how your brand’s strengths are communicated to local customers.
From product names and menus to website copy, photography, and customer-facing language, we go beyond literal translation to support your expansion.
02
We use our own industry network to identify partners who fit your needs. We move beyond introductions to negotiate terms both sides can agree on and develop a workable business structure.
RG also coordinates contracts, company formation, and store setup with specialists and other stakeholders. We manage the practical steps from agreement to business launch.
03
We define your audience, message, and channels, then combine social media, advertising, and influencer outreach to suit your business goals.
We create messages that resonate with local customers while preserving your brand identity, then review the response and refine our approach. We help build awareness, attract customers, and develop lasting customer relationships.
04
We design and develop systems that account for differences in ordering, store management, and logistics between Japan and Korea.
We build ordering and sales management systems that connect headquarters with stores and integrate with existing systems. We translate the operating methods agreed with your partners into practical tools for your team.
05
We help you choose payment methods that suit local customers and design payout and settlement processes that fit your operations. We coordinate service selection, provider discussions, and system integration.
We account for multilingual checkout, currencies, and settlement for individual stores to make payments convenient for customers and easier for your team to manage.
06
We build Japanese and Korean websites and apps that help customers learn about your business, make bookings, send inquiries, and use your services.
We consider readability and usability in each language from the design stage. We can also add English and make it easy for your team to update the site.
/ Why RG
We discuss your goals and priorities, then use our own industry network to identify suitable partners. We clarify each side’s plans and expected roles, helping introductions develop into productive discussions.

RG coordinates local partners and specialists and keeps you informed of progress and decisions that need your input. We reduce the need to repeat explanations and follow up with separate providers so you can focus on business decisions.
RG remains your point of contact from preparation through operations and expansion. We coordinate with local partners, address practical issues, and work on improvements and next steps as your business needs evolve.
/ Process
STEP 01
We discuss what you want to achieve, whether that means starting a new business, expanding a brand or franchise, or forming a local partnership. You can come to us with an initial idea or with specific companies or projects in mind. We clarify your goals, preferred terms, budget, and timeline to agree on how we can help.
STEP 02
We review potential partners, the target market, and what it will take to put your plans into practice. If you need help finding partners, we explore options through our network. If you already have a company in mind, we review its goals and proposed terms and plan the next steps in discussions.
STEP 03
We review your priorities alongside the other party’s goals and practical challenges. We negotiate roles, costs, territories, and operating arrangements to develop a business structure both sides can agree on. We confirm important terms and changes with you as discussions progress.
STEP 04
We proceed with contracts, company formation, local procedures, store setup, localization, system development, and marketing in line with the agreement. RG coordinates specialists and stakeholders and manages the work and timeline leading to business launch.
