Company X’s Challenge
Company X, a renewable energy startup from Europe founded in 2017, sought to expand globally. Unlike many companies with a clear five-year international expansion plan, energy firms often face unpredictable project lengths and manpower needs. Company X was no exception.
Company X aimed to expand into Japan and successfully secured a bid. However, the company faced challenges due to limited visibility of the project’s duration and the specific manpower requirements. The industry’s demand for rapid onboarding and offboarding, coupled with Japan’s stringent immigration policies, made deploying workers particularly difficult. Company X required assistance to navigate this unfamiliar jurisdiction under these uncertain conditions.
Eos’ Solution
Eos provided flexible EOR solutions to support Company X’s entry into the Japanese market despite the uncertainties. Eos developed a comprehensive strategy that included an accurate timeline for deploying personnel and an optimised pay structure to control costs effectively.
Eos provided detailed salary cost simulations, to help Company X precisely forecast project expenses. These simulations incorporated crucial insights into local legislation, such as paid holidays and employer liabilities, ensuring the project was profitable and fully compliant with local regulations.
Eos’s expertise in Japan’s immigration requirements ensured that all the necessary documents to meet Japan´s visa and work permit requirements were collected and processed quickly and successfully. Additionally, as a fast-track company in Japan, Eos secured visa approvals within 3–4 weeks, helping Company X meet their budget and timeline constraints. Eos also advised on providing a tax-efficient salary structure in a compliant manner whilst ensuring visa eligibility.
In addition to these services, Eos delivered on-ground support for accommodation, transportation sourcing, and leasing in remote areas. Eos prioritised prompt responses and clear communication to ensure the project remained on track and that employees were well accommodated.
Shared Success
Through Eos’ support, Company X successfully deployed their team in Japan, meeting stringent budget and timeline constraints. This empowered Company X to confidently navigate the new jurisdiction, ensuring on-time project delivery, and maximising both compliance and profitability.
