What is SOGO SHOSHA
A Sogo Shosha, or general trading company, is a unique Japanese business that earns commissions by acting as an intermediary between sellers and buyers, handling commodities such as raw materials, goods, and services. It enables the expansion of sales opportunities for sellers and meets the needs of buyers. To ensure smooth transactions, it is necessary to understand the products of each factory, and to source raw materials effectively. Moreover, adding value through processes like raw material processing and component manufacturing is another significant role of it.
Renowned global investor Warren Buffett’s increased investment ratio in Japanese general trading companies, foreseeing their long term growth, has garnered attention.
Our strengths
-
Proficiency in Overseas Markets
We are well versed in the business culture, laws, taxation, and other regulations of overseas markets. Exporting through us is more effective for customers than directly entering foreign markets. Additionally, taking advantage of our own local networks enables efficient market research and distribution channel expansion, thus aiding in the formulation of sales strategies.
-
Savings in Financial and Human Resources
We handle tasks such as quality control, delivery management, creation of various procedures and documents required for export, as well as packaging and transportation of goods on behalf of our customers. This allows our customers to focus on their core business without allocating funds or human resources. Also, by utilizing our multilingual staff, we can overcome language barriers.
-
Avoidance of Monetary Troubles
Our customers can avoid the risk of monetary troubles. When dealing with a factory for the first time, both the seller and the buyer become cautious each other. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the terms and conditions. Additionally, there are many factories which require a 100% payment in advance. So, in many case the burden on the buyer side tends to be significant. By utilizing our services, it becomes possible to negotiate the terms and conditions in a way that is advantageous to both parties and to reduce the risk to cash flow.
