Launching our Japan operations meant incorporating at a location in Japan and receiving Japanese mail—MailMate made this easy and enables us to better manage our Japanese subsidiary from our headquarters in New York.
We specialize in Japan market entry support and we use MailMate to incorporate. It's easy, efficient, and cuts out having to put all the pieces of the puzzle together yourself. We recommend MailMate to our clients and use it for ourselves.
