About Paragon
Moving business forward,
across borders.

Paragon Global Partners is a business brand operated by Paragon Japan Co., Ltd. We work across two areas: Japan–Australia food business development and Global Solutions supporting revenue improvement, procurement cost reduction and business system optimisation. We go beyond research and advice by providing practical support through to execution.

Japan–Australia
Japan and Australia.
Opportunities in both directions.

Our Japan–Australia work is not limited to helping Japanese companies enter Australia. We also support inbound demand in Japan, Australian market entry, and cross-border partnerships, acquisitions and business sales. We view food business growth as a two-way opportunity across borders.

Inbound

Help Japanese food businesses turn international customer demand into measurable business opportunities.

Outbound

Support Japanese food brands entering Australia and building a new business in-market.

Across Borders

Execute partnerships, acquisitions and business sales across Japan and Australia.

Business Development

Move beyond market research and advice into project design, partner assembly and execution.

Why Food Business
Why food business?

Food businesses bring together brand, property, people, supply chains and local execution. Japanese food brands and operating know-how have meaningful opportunities both in Japan's inbound market and in Australia.

Japanese Food

Bring the quality and distinctiveness of Japanese food brands to international demand in Japan and to the Australian market.

Local Execution

Market entry requires property, people, legal, accounting, tax and other local expertise to work together.

Business Opportunity

Growth can extend beyond customer acquisition and new stores into partnerships, acquisitions and business sales.

Our Expertise

We combine accounting, audit and tax experience with practical exposure to both Japan and Australia.

Japan–Australia Food Business
Inbound. Outbound.
Across Borders.

We support inbound growth in Japan, Australian market entry and cross-border M&A across the Japan–Australia food business corridor.

01 / INBOUND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Inbound Business Development

Turn guest feedback into faster resolution and better operations.

We introduce multilingual guest feedback solutions that allow international visitors to communicate requests, concerns and problems in their own language while they are still on site. Venues can respond sooner, while head office can capture feedback that would otherwise remain local and use it to improve operations and decision-making.

  • Guests submit requests and feedback in their own language
  • Faster issue visibility and response at venue level
  • Reduced translation and communication workload
  • Head-office visibility across multiple venues
  • Google Maps, English menus and pre-visit information as supporting services
02 / AUSTRALIA MARKET ENTRY

Australia Market Entry

Support for an Australian first store or market entry.

We help Japanese food businesses plan and execute their first Australian operation, from initial concept through to opening.

  • Market and catchment analysis
  • Market-entry and store-opening plan
  • Property, entity and specialist coordination
  • Recruitment, fit-out and opening preparation
  • End-to-end project management
03 / CROSS-BORDER M&A

Cross-border M&A

Food business acquisitions, sales and partnerships.

We support acquisitions, business sales and capital partnerships involving food businesses across Japan and Australia, managing the process as a cross-border project.

  • Transaction framing and objectives
  • Target or buyer search
  • Specialist coordination
  • Due diligence and negotiation management
  • Execution through to closing
Inbound Solutions
Capture the moment.
Improve the business.

We introduce a multilingual feedback channel that lets international guests communicate requests, complaints or problems in their own language while they are still on site. This supports earlier resolution at venue level and helps head office aggregate and use guest feedback. Google Maps, English menus and pre-visit information can be added as supporting inbound measures where useful.

02 / STORE & HQ INSIGHT

Store & HQ Insight

Resolve locally. Learn across the business.

Feedback that would normally be handled and disappear at venue level can be captured and reviewed across locations, giving head office a clearer view of recurring issues, requests and improvement opportunities.

  • Capture feedback by venue
  • Identify recurring issues and requests
  • Use insights for service and operational improvement
  • Support management decision-making across locations
03 / INBOUND SUPPORT

Inbound Support

Strengthen the customer journey before arrival.

Alongside the guest feedback solution, we can improve the information international travellers use to discover, understand and visit a venue.

  • Google Maps and business information improvement
  • English menus and food descriptions
  • Booking, access and entrance information
  • Photography and other pre-visit content
Global Solutions
Recover value. Reduce cost.
Optimise business systems.

Alongside our Japan–Australia food business work, PGP supports companies in Japan and overseas with practical challenges across finance, procurement and business systems. We can begin with a focused proof of value, confirm the impact and feasibility, and then recommend and implement the most suitable improvement approach.

01 / FINANCE RECOVERY

Finance Recovery

Revenue recovery and financial improvement.

Following M&A, ERP migration or process change, payment and accounts payable data can contain duplicates, errors or transactions with potential for recovery. We identify practical recovery opportunities and support execution through to recovery.

  • Post-M&A and post-ERP payment review
  • Recovery opportunities supported by data and evidence
  • Prioritised cases for action
  • Support through to actual recovery
02 / PROCUREMENT SAVINGS

Procurement Savings

Optimise procurement costs.

Across multi-site and distributed operations, fragmented purchasing can create price variation, duplicate suppliers and unnecessary cost. We analyse purchasing activity to identify practical savings opportunities and actions.

  • Visibility across small-value and indirect purchasing
  • Price variation and supplier duplication analysis
  • Prioritisation of cost-saving opportunities
  • Implementation planning and support
03 / SOFTWARE MODERNISATION

Software Modernisation

Optimise and rebuild business systems.

Where important operations rely on existing Access, Excel-VBA or similar tools, we map the current workflow and dependencies, then redesign and rebuild the solution in manageable stages.

  • Current workflow and dependency mapping
  • Optimisation and rebuild plan
  • Staged migration and reconstruction
  • Testing and quality assurance
We can start with a focused proof of value, confirm the results, and then recommend and implement the most suitable improvement approach for the business.
