Before you apply
- The money is not up front. You pay for the whole project yourself. The grant reimburses a share of it (often half to two-thirds) after a completion report has been checked, typically 6 to 18 months after applying.
- Do not spend before approval. Costs ordered, contracted or paid before the official grant decision (交付決定) are usually not eligible.
- Strict conditions. Employment grants are paid only if every condition is met and documented on time. A missed deadline or an incomplete record can void the claim.
- Obligations continue after payment. Reports for up to five years, inspections, and targets in your plan. Missing them can mean repaying part or all of the grant.

How Oak can help
Employment and training grants (助成金) from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare are filed by licensed labour and social security attorneys (sharoshi), not by gyoseishoshi. Contact us and we will point you to a qualified sharoshi; we can still check the rest of your grant options.
