Doing Business in Japan
We have received numerous inquiries about what the procedures are for signing up Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in Japan. The following details those procedures:
Doing Business in Japan
Nuriche is currently signing up independent business owners (IBOs) who are residents in Japan. Because Nuriche products are not yet registered for sale in Japan, all business activity is done on a “not-for-resale” (NFR) basis, meaning that a resident in Japan can sign up as an IBO and order product direct from the United States, but cannot then re-sell that product in Japan. Anyone who wants to order product in Japan or sign up as an IBO must follow these procedures.
All residents in Japan must receive a “gaiyo shomen” (disclosure document) before signing up as an IBO with Nuriche. This document must be given to the distributor in hard copy form and must be in color so that the printing in red can be distinguished from the rest of the text. This disclosure document is a requirement established by the Japanese government for all network marketing companies doing business in Japan. It is not sufficient to forward an electronic copy and ask the prospective IBO to print it out.
The actual registration process has to be done by completing the two-page Registration Form and sending it via fax to Nuriche Japan Customer Service (operated by a company called Access Technologies). Unlike the “gaiyo shomen”, this registration form can be distributed via email or fax.
Please have your applicant contact Nuriche Japan Customer Service to obtain the Registration Form and the disclosure document (the “gaiyo shomen”). They can also help your applicant to properly fill in the form in Japanese. Be sure to tell the applicant to write down your name and ID in the Sponsor section, and keep Placement section blank if you are planning to place later. Nuriche Japan Customer Service’s fax number, phone number and email address are listed below.
