This forum is a place for people running small business (including one-person shops) to talk about various problems, and how to get around them. It is specifically aimed at non-Japanese running companies in Japan, in the design/layout/translation/editing fields, but is open to everyone. Contributions are welcome on a wide range of topics, but spam and abusive posts will not be tolerated.
