[Regular Loan Seminar] Strengthening Client Financing Skills | 30-Minute Course by Former JFC & Shinkin Bank Experts

SoLabo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Koichi Tahara) will launch the "Loan Practice from Entry to Application: 30-Minute Quick Seminar" starting April 2026. This loan education program is co-hosted by Ryohei Oyabu (Financing Leader, formerly of Japan Finance Corporation) and Ryosuke Ota (Financing Consultant, formerly of a Shinkin Bank) from the company's Entrepreneur Support Department. Primarily targeting new employees and young staff at tax corporations and accounting firms, as well as those looking to refresh their skills, the seminar will be held every fourth Thursday during lunchtime as a 30-minute live stream, allowing participants to systematically learn everything from basic loan practices to applied client support.

Background For newcomers at tax corporations and accounting firms, business financing is often an area where systematic learning opportunities are scarce, forcing them to rely on fragmented knowledge or online information. Many find themselves handling client consultations without sufficient expertise. Additionally, experienced professionals often feel the need to relearn the basics of financing. This seminar is designed as a convenient 30-minute lunchtime self-improvement platform to address these challenges. Through live Q&A sessions, participants can deepen their understanding using real-world insights from the field.

Three Key Highlights 1. Learn perspectives from both JFC and Shinkin Banks simultaneously It is rare to have experts from both the Japan Finance Corporation (JFC) and Shinkin Banks speaking together. They will compare and explain the differences in screening criteria using practical, real-world language.

2. Ideal for new hire training and skill refreshing at the start of the fiscal year Starting in April, a period of personnel changes, the six-month curriculum builds from foundational to applied knowledge, making it suitable for both developing new staff and organizing the knowledge of experienced professionals.

3. 30-minute lunchtime format, audio-only participation welcome Held from 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM. Participants can listen in while at their desks without interrupting their work day, steadily building their loan practice expertise.
