Digital and real-world marketing business
Buyers' needs are satisfied by purchasing what sellers offer.
Buyers' needs evolve with time, creating a vast market that spans diverse product categories such as food, cosmetics, and construction. For manufacturers and retailers, accurately understanding these needs is the key to business success. We provide hands-on support, collaborating with our partner companies to assist in this process through digital and real-world marketing research. (Partially overlapping with our ‘Submake Business’.)

Consulting services for the withdrawal of local subsidiaries in Thailand
Assessment of the revival or withdrawal of local subsidiaries and the development of withdrawal schemes
In business review, including the revitalization of local subsidiaries in Thailand, we collaborate with Thai certified public accountants to offer consistent support, from assessing the necessity of withdrawal to executing the practical steps.
1. Withdrawal Assessment
We conduct a simplified analysis of the current state of the business to assess the potential for revitalization and evaluate the necessity of withdrawal.
If the possibility of withdrawal is high, we conduct due diligence on the local subsidiary and carefully assess its final viability.
2. Development and Execution Support for Withdrawal Schemes
After the decision to withdraw is made, we develop the optimal withdrawal scheme. We support the design of the overall business model and the revenue and financial models for the entire group after withdrawal. We support the smooth execution of the entire process, from planning to implementation, for the withdrawal of the local subsidiary.
In this way, we provide comprehensive support from the assessment stage of withdrawal to the development of post-withdrawal strategies.

After deciding to withdraw from business operations in Thailand, the following options are available.
1. Sale (Transfer) of shares
 This is the method that minimizes effort, cost, and time, but it is limited to situations where the buyer has a thorough understanding of the internal situation or there is a strong level of trust between both parties.
2. Submission of a business suspension notice
 Thailand does not have a "dormant registration" system; however, by registering a "temporary business suspension" with the Revenue Department (tax office), it is possible to achieve a similar effect. However, it is important to note the following points:
◆ It is necessary to maintain the business registration, and rental payments will still be required.
◆ Monthly tax filings, as well as the continuation of annual financial statements and tax returns, are required.
 For this reason, it is suitable for use as a temporary measure. This option becomes effective in cases where there may be a future consideration of business revitalization or when immediate liquidation is difficult due to factors such as negotiations on stock prices with local shareholders.
3. Company liquidation (withdrawal)
 When liquidating a company, the process will be carried out according to a series of steps.
It is important to choose the most suitable method in this way.

Business translation services
We offer mutual translation services between Japanese, Thai, and English.

With the globalization of business, the translation of various documents and materials has become a necessity.

ARK's translation service aims to improve work efficiency, while in the end, it uses a human process to refine the nuance and make it easier to understand as "language," ensuring the sender's intent is properly conveyed.

In recent years, client requests have become more varied, and we have started receiving a wide range of requests. The coordinator will inquire about the purpose of the translation, budget, and desired deadline, then select the appropriate editors and proofreaders with the right style and expertise to meet the client’s needs, build the translation project, and ensure proper project management until delivery.
