Value Financial Holdings (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Masayasu Chiaki) will participate as a speaker in the 'Phase-Specific US Market Entry Business Networking Event' for Japanese companies considering or promoting expansion into the US. Experts in accounting, law, visas, relocation, and human resources will gather to provide practical knowledge tailored to different stages of expansion.

Background of the Event While the demand for US expansion among Japanese firms is growing due to factors such as the weak yen and geopolitical risks, the practical aspects—such as setting up local entities, tax, accounting, visa acquisition, and expatriate assignments—are vast. This event is designed to realize 'learning,' 'consulting,' and 'connecting' all at once.
