What is Japan-readiness for a foreign SaaS?

Japan-readiness means a foreign SaaS has the controllable, verifiable signals Japanese buyers check before purchasing: native Japanese UI (not machine-translated), JPY pricing, Japanese payment methods (konbini, bank transfer, JCB), 特定商取引法 (Tokusho-ho) legal disclosure, and a Japanese-language support path. Products missing these signals lose Japanese customers to friction — not to competitors.

What does Glovrex do?

Glovrex is a Tokyo-based independent studio that audits and fixes Japan-readiness gaps for foreign software products — and ships AI features (automation, RAG assistants, monitoring) done-for-you. It is run by a Japanese-native builder. Delivery is in weeks, not a hire.

How much does a Japan-Readiness Audit cost?

A full Japan-Readiness Audit is $1,500 and delivers in approximately one week. It includes a native-Japanese QA review, a prioritized gap roadmap, and controllable findings only — no revenue guarantees. A free 1-page Japan-Readiness Map (no strings) is available at glovrex.com/check or by emailing greymoth@glovrex.com.

What is 特定商取引法 (Tokusho-ho) and why does it matter for foreign SaaS?

特定商取引法 (Act on Specified Commercial Transactions) is a Japanese consumer protection law requiring online businesses selling to Japanese customers to display specific company information — including a legal entity name, address, phone number, and return policy — on their website. Foreign SaaS products that skip this disclosure risk losing Japanese buyer trust and may face legal exposure. Glovrex checks and implements Tokusho-ho compliance as a standard part of Japan-readiness work.

Can a foreign founder make their product Japan-ready without opening a Japanese office?

Yes. The core Japan-readiness signals — native UI, JPY pricing, Japanese payment methods, 特商法 disclosure, and Japanese-language support — are all achievable remotely. A Japanese company entity is not required to sell to Japanese customers online. Glovrex handles these as a done-for-you service without requiring the founder to be based in Japan.
