behind Japan's

Financial data that
standard databases
can't reach.

Over 99% of Japanese companies are privately held and are not required to publish detailed financial statements. Standard database services can only access what is publicly filed — which for most SMEs is very little.

JBI Report goes further. Drawing on 12+ years of hands-on Japan–NZ trade experience and a background in Japanese corporate banking, we source financial data from non-obvious public channels, interpret it with a lender's eye, and deliver a clear verdict in plain English.

The result is the kind of financial intelligence that gives any company, anywhere in the world, a genuine advantage before signing contracts or committing to large orders with Japanese suppliers.

  • Private company financial data sourced from non-obvious Japanese public channels
