Regular Financing Seminar: Strengthen Your Clients' Fundraising Capabilities | 30-Minute Course by Former Public Finance Officer and Former Credit Union Officer

SoLabo Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koichi Tahara) will launch the loan education program "From the Entrance to Practice of Loans: 30-Minute Quick Seminar," jointly hosted by Ryohei Oyabu (Fundraising Leader), a former Japan Finance Corporation (JFC) employee from the company's entrepreneur support division, and Ryosuke Ota (Fundraising Consultant), a former credit union employee. This program will commence in April 2026. Primarily targeting new and young staff at tax accountant corporations and accounting firms, as well as those who wish to relearn skills, it will be held every fourth Thursday of the month during lunchtime for 30 minutes, entirely via live stream. Participants will systematically acquire knowledge from the basics of loan operations to advanced client support.

■ Background for Launch

For those starting a new career or new employees at tax accountant corporations and accounting firms, loan operations is an area where opportunities for systematic learning are scarce, often requiring them to rely on fragmented knowledge or online information. It is not uncommon for them to receive consultations from clients without possessing sufficient knowledge. Furthermore, even experienced individuals have a need to relearn the basics of lending. This seminar is designed to address these challenges by providing an accessible self-improvement opportunity that can be attended during a 30-minute lunch break. Through live Q&A sessions, participants can deepen their knowledge and understanding based on real-world information.

■ 3 Recommended Points

[1] Learn from the perspectives of both the JFC and Credit Union simultaneously

Opportunities to have instructors from both the JFC and credit unions speak together are not frequent. They will compare and explain the differences in their screening criteria in real terms.

[2] Perfect for new employee training and relearning, starting at the beginning of the fiscal year

Starting in April, when personnel changes occur, the curriculum is structured to build from fundamentals to applications over six months, broadly accommodating new employee development and experienced professionals' knowledge consolidation.

[3] A 30-minute design that allows participation even with just listening during lunchtime

Held during lunchtime from 12:30 to 13:00. You can participate while listening casually from your desk, accumulating knowledge of loan operations without interrupting your work.

■ Program | April - September (Information for September onwards will be announced periodically)
