L'mooi Inc. will begin offering the draft creation service 'SHITAGAKI' on Thursday, June 11, 2026. Through two 30-minute consultations, the service provides support in formulating business plans—including digital tool adoption—and creates first drafts of subsidy applications.

The service is offered at a flat rate of ¥49,800 with no success-based fees. It supports the first round of applications for Tokyo Metropolitan Government's 'Subsidy Program for Promoting Digital Adoption by Small and Medium Enterprises' (administered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion) from June 11 to July 3, 2026 (ending upon budget exhaustion).

Background: Subsidies Missed Due to 'No Time to Research'

Digital tools such as accounting software, POS systems, and reservation platforms are essential for improving productivity in small and medium enterprises. However, monthly subscription costs often hinder adoption.

Tokyo offers a public subsidy covering up to half (two-thirds for small-scale enterprises) of eligible expenses, with a maximum of ¥1.5 million. Yet many businesses fail to apply due to reasons such as 'no time to check eligibility,' 'application guidelines are full of jargon and hard to read,' or 'unclear where to start writing.'

SHITAGAKI eliminates these time and information barriers by taking over the most daunting initial step: starting the application from a blank page.

The Appeal of This Subsidy: Freedom in Tool Selection Without 'Catalog Restrictions'

Many digitalization and AI-related subsidy programs, including the national IT Introduction Subsidy, require applicants to select tools from pre-registered catalogs. This often excludes tools that businesses actually want to use.

In contrast, Tokyo's 'Subsidy Program for Promoting Digital Adoption by Small and Medium Enterprises' does not use a catalog system, allowing flexible selection of software and cloud services that fit business needs—such as accounting, attendance, order management, reservations, and POS systems. This high degree of freedom is a key feature (Note: General-purpose devices like PCs, operating systems, and spreadsheet software are excluded. Final eligibility is determined by the Foundation's review).

SHITAGAKI supports clients in navigating the challenge of 'greater freedom means greater difficulty in choosing and writing about tools' through guided tool selection and draft creation.

Key Features of 'SHITAGAKI'

- Only two 30-minute consultations required — Based on interview content, SHITAGAKI creates drafts of both the business plan and subsidy application. Clients receive both drafts after just two meetings.

- No success fee, flat rate of ¥49,800 — While most subsidy consulting services charge an upfront fee plus 10–15% of the granted amount as success fee, SHITAGAKI is fully fixed-rate. No additional costs apply regardless of application outcome.

- Deliverables remain useful even if rejected — Clients receive both a business plan and a draft application. Even if the application is not approved, the business plan remains a valuable asset for management.

- Consultation available even without a tool selected — Support includes identifying business challenges and selecting eligible tools. The service also provides guidance on obtaining a G-Biz ID and a simulator to estimate out-of-pocket costs after subsidy use.
