Yuichi Ishii on "Business Support & Stand-in Service"

Yuichi Ishii
Yuichi Ishii
CEO, Family Romance Inc.
In the business world, the perception of "someone who comes alone" versus "someone who comes with a team" is completely different. I learned this firsthand in the early days of founding Family Romance. When I was just starting out, arriving at a client meeting alone invited skepticism: "Is this really a trustworthy company?" But simply bringing a secretary changed the other party's attitude entirely. A secretary standing behind you during a business-card exchange instantly signals "this is a serious operation." I know the power of "perception" in business from personal experience. The rental secretary service is especially popular with freelancers and solo entrepreneurs. For critical negotiations, bank loan consultations, or investor presentations, having a secretary present dramatically boosts credibility. Services extend to minute-taking, business card management, and schedule coordination. Meeting accompaniment is not just for those who "feel uneasy going alone" — many clients strategically want to balance numbers. When the other side sends three people and you show up alone, you are at a negotiating disadvantage. Simply evening the headcount can shift who controls the conversation. Business dinner companionship places a professional staff member at meals with clients or investors. They enliven the conversation, pour drinks at the right moment, and create a relaxed atmosphere. The truth is, many business outcomes are decided not in the boardroom but at the dinner table.
Pain Points

We Handle These Concerns

1

Being Underestimated at Solo Meetings

Freelancer or sole proprietor. The other side sends three people while you show up alone. A disadvantaged negotiating position.

2

No Secretary for Important Meetings

Cannot focus on the meeting while taking notes. Guest reception, tea service, and card management are too much for one person.

3

Uncomfortable at Business Dinners

Unsure how to behave at drinking events. Missing relationship-building opportunities because you can't liven the atmosphere.

4

No Time to Attend Seminars

Want to stay current on industry trends but too busy to attend. Some information doesn't translate through materials alone.

5

Lacking Credibility in Investor Presentations

Arriving alone raises doubts: "Can we trust this person?" In business, team presence equals credibility.
