\u25a0Background of expanding into Osaka<\/strong> In recent years, cross-border e-commerce has emerged, drawing attention to trade. However, for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited resources, entering the trade market presents significant hurdles. Since 2022, Standage has been offering "DigiTrad," a package service that allows small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that find it difficult to expand overseas for various reasons to "outsource" everything to Standage, from developing sales channels and negotiating contracts to settlements and logistics arrangements. By establishing a base in Osaka, the central hub of the western Japan area, we will expand our approach to small and medium-sized enterprises throughout Japan that have overseas expansion needs, while also working to support existing customers and build and cultivate relationships with our partner companies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25a0 STANDAGE Co., Ltd.

\nThe working-age population in Japan is gradually declining, and domestic demand will continue to shrink.
\nFurthermore, with the persistent depreciation of the yen in recent years, the ability to build overseas sales has become key to the survival and growth of businesses.
\nRegardless of company size, now is the perfect opportunity to start exporting and expand your sales channels.<\/p>\n
\nIn fact, only a small percentage of Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are able to participate in international trade.<\/p>\n
\nAs of the end of February 2024, the number of subscribers has exceeded 150 companies.<\/p>\n
