Bishamon UK provides business consulting and support services for Japanese companies and founders doing business in the UK and abroad. From the essentials — company setup, banking, tax — to end-to-end support for new businesses and overseas bases, help for sole traders and individuals, bank account opening (including crypto-friendly banks), inbound support for Japan, trade shows and bringing Japanese products to Europe. We work on the ground, and share what we learn on note.
From our base in London, we act as a partner to Japanese companies, business leaders, sole traders and individuals doing business overseas.
Some projects are practical — incorporating a UK company, opening a bank account, answering a letter from HMRC. Others are ventures: helping European businesses enter Japan, taking a craft product to European buyers, joining a tech conference in Lisbon, or reviving a closed school in rural Nara. From planning through to delivery on the ground, we handle it end to end.
A closer look at one of our recent projects.
Together with BLUE ROSE, we’re turning a closed school in Mitsue Village into a place built around play — a new approach to bringing life back to rural Japan.

We partner with Japanese companies launching new businesses and setting up bases in the UK and Europe — from planning through to day-to-day operations on the ground. We don’t just handle paperwork and leave. As your team in London, we stay with you until the business is up and running. We also welcome enquiries from sole traders and individuals.
When you start something new abroad, we work alongside you at every step — from testing the idea to winning your first customers.
Everything you need to set up in the UK or EU — company, banking, tax, hiring — and ongoing support once you are operating. Accounting and tax are handled together with our partner firm, CloudAcc.
Not just companies — we also help sole traders and individuals: starting out as a sole trader in the UK, relocation and visas, tax and HMRC questions, and everyday admin.
Support opening personal and business bank accounts in the UK and Europe, including bank accounts that can handle crypto assets — from choosing a bank to preparing documents and applying.
Bringing Japanese products, food and services to European customers — sales channels, partners and test sales.
Exhibiting at and attending trade shows and conferences, tech, FinTech and gaming, and regional projects in Japan.
Advice and hands-on support for UK and European companies and people doing business in Japan — entering the Japanese market, setting up a base, finding local partners, and building services for visitors to Japan. We know both sides, and we stay with you throughout.
