United Office Membership

Comments from 1st and 2nd term members

Mr. A (management consultant, human resource development, male, 30s)

I started my own company as a management consultant and human resource development provider, making the most of my experience at "the highest-paid company in Japan.

Now, I have more opportunities to give lectures and have published a book.

Our head office is in Osaka, but we needed a base in Tokyo, so we use this office as our Tokyo branch, which provides us with necessary functions such as telephone secretarial services and mail forwarding.

We appreciate this kind of service because it allows our small group of elite consultants to concentrate on their work.

Mr. B (Financial planner, 40s, male)

I used to provide consulting services mainly to individuals at my home office, but many clients are not comfortable with my home office, so I use this office where I can meet with them whenever I need to and for as long as I need to.

Thanks to this, in addition to one-on-one consulting, we are now able to hold seminars for small groups of people, and we are happy that we can use the space flexibly according to the number of people, and that we can use not only Ginza but also several other offices in Tokyo according to our clients' needs.

Ms. C (Labor and Social Insurance Consultant, 40s, female)

In my case, I often go directly to clients, but when I need to have a meeting at the office, it is a great advantage to be able to use the Ginza office.

Also, this office has a relatively strict admission screening process and many of the members are professionals, so there is a sense of trust.

Mr. D (video creator, 20s, male)

I joined because of my profession or because it would be dangerous to expose my home address.

It seems that some very famous people in the industry are members.

In that respect, this office protects my personal information very well.

I don't have many opportunities to use the office for meetings, but the mail and courier services are received and forwarded exactly as they should be, and so far I have not experienced any delays or misdelivery.

Ms. E (Company employee, consulting business on the side, 30s, female)

While continuing to work as a company employee, I do consulting work on the side.

Because it is a side business, I put a lot of emphasis on the location that I put on my website and business cards.

By working at this location, I get into serious mode, both in terms of my feelings and the location. It also seems to convey that to the other party.

We are not yet on the right track, but I am grateful for this office in that I was able to start my business at a low cost.

Mr. F (Information and communications industry, 50s, male)

I create and update websites and maintain information and communication equipment.

Basically, I don't need a permanent office because I work from home or go to the source of orders, but when I recruit staff, it is difficult to find people at my home address.

When we used this office, we were able to hire highly skilled staff that had not applied before.

We now hold our monthly general meetings at this office.
