Stayway has formed a business partnership with Shoko Chukin Bank. The bank will refer clients with subsidy questions to Stayway. Stayway operates a subsidy support service called Subsidy Cloud.
How the partnership works
Shoko Chukin staff will first confirm a client's interest. They will then introduce the client to Stayway. Stayway specialists will propose suitable subsidies and manage the application from planning to submission.
Partner backgrounds
Shoko Chukin is a financial institution focused on small and medium enterprises. It runs sales offices across Japan. Stayway was founded in 2017 and has offices in Osaka and Tokyo.
Subsidy Cloud service
Subsidy Cloud centralizes complex subsidy information from national and local governments. It is sold in versions for banks, businesses, professionals, startups, and local governments. The company also operates an expert-reviewed subsidy media site.
Stayway is advancing a long-term plan called the 47 Prefectures Local Startup Strategy. The plan aims to make expert subsidy support available in every region of Japan. The partnership supports that nationwide goal.
