Niccho,Inc. was founded as Nihon Chosa Jimusho Inc. in 1965 by founder President Keiji Sugaya as a one-stop research and investigation company in Japan. The Company’s management division (currently of seven individuals) is comprised solely of Sugaya family members. This management framework ensures the confidentiality of information entrusted to our Company.

 We have not hired a single salesperson since the inception of our company, as we believe that they are the single major factor leading to the compromise of confidential confidentiality. Despite the lack of a dedicated sales force and advertising, we have expanded our business through client recommendations. We have clients, including major corporations, law firms, and patent firms.

 Niccho’s competency is to provide exceptional client deliverables by using cutting-edge research methodology. We expend 60 to 70% of client fees to investigation and research, which is double the ratio of 30 to 35% set by our competitors. Due to this investment in research, we have continued the delivery of quality products and have been described by our clients as a “leading research company.”

 As a result, although the entire reseach industry has shrunk since the collapse of the bubble economy, our sales revenues have significantly increased. About 50% of our revenue originates from requests by Western companies located in Japan and we expect further growth of this clientele. Western companies highly value information and request accurate information, expedient processing, and depth of information. We continuously strive to improve the quality of our deliverables by taking these factors into consideration.

 We will continue to integrate the management and research divisions at our Company to provide quality deliverables and to maintain our position as leaders in this industry.
