How long until it goes live?
About two weeks from the interview, depending on how quickly drafts are reviewed.
Do I get to review it first?
Yes. You review the story, the English edition and your profile before anything is published.
What if I’m not good at talking?
That’s fine. We prepare the questions and take it one step at a time.
Can sole proprietors or brand-new companies apply?
Yes. Any industry, any size. It works especially well when you’re just getting started.
Is there an English version?
Yes. Business Life Japan publishes your story in both Japanese and English, written in English by our editors.
Can the interview be in English?
Interviews are in Japanese. If you need English, ask us before you book and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can do it.
Do you guarantee rankings or introductions?
No. What we do promise is to publish in a form search engines and AI can read, and to check every introduction request before connecting you.
How long does the feature stay up?
There’s no end date. If you ever want it taken down, just tell us.
Can I cancel?
Cancel up to the day before your interview for a full refund. Once the interview has happened, we can’t refund. See the legal notice for details.
Can I say I was featured?
Please do. “As featured in SECOND TAKE” or “Business Life Japan” works on your site, deck and social media.
