What It Is

参謀ドットコム is operated by Japan-based 株式会社Miraile. It is a “strategic advisor” style consulting and expert-matching service for small and midsize businesses. Rather than a typical SaaS product, it matches companies with SME management consultants, advertising/IT/consulting professionals, and provides hands-on support from problem definition through execution across business consulting, marketing growth, IT implementation, and subsidy applications.

Core Capabilities

Based on the site content, the service covers four broad areas: general business management, advertising/marketing, IT-related needs, and subsidies. The process starts with collecting company information via a form, followed by contact by phone or email. Consultations can then be held online or in person, with initial issue mapping and support-plan proposals provided free of charge. On the advertising and marketing side, it can help with brand building, customer acquisition, SNS, web advertising, promotional materials, and sales-growth roadmaps. For subsidies, it supports program selection, application document preparation, and post-approval payment follow-up, and highlights a team of more than 15 relevant SME consultants and people with review experience.

Pricing

The pricing disclosed on the website is largely project-based: initial consultation, issue definition, and proposal preparation are free; some support plans start from 50,000 JPY per month; marketing support is billed by working time, starting from 2,500 JPY per hour; subsidy application writing is typically a 100,000 JPY upfront fee plus a 10% success fee, all before tax. Overall, its pricing is more transparent than many consulting websites, but final costs still require case-by-case quotations.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a clear positioning and focus on Japanese SMEs; expert coverage across SME management consultants, advertising, IT, and consulting; and an emphasis not only on diagnosis but also on concrete measures, operational management, and PDCA. The main drawback is that it does not have clear software-product characteristics. There is no visible explanation of key SaaS capabilities such as third-party integrations, APIs, permission management, dashboards, or data security. Its service area and language also appear to be strongly oriented toward the Japanese market.

Who It’s For / Access from China

It is best suited to SMEs operating in Japan that lack in-house planning, marketing, or subsidy-application capabilities—especially companies looking for help with business planning, subsidy applications, or marketing execution. For Chinese companies, unless they have a Japanese entity or relevant business scenario in Japan, the fit is limited. The source content does not provide information about website accessibility from mainland China, so this remains unknown.
