    ワシントン州日米協会SBRPは

    ワシントン州商務省Small Business Regiliency Network

    とのパートナーシップに基づき、

    COVID-19の影響を受けている小規模・個人事業者の皆様へ

    英語以外を母国語とするマイノリティ支援のため

    「日本語で」プログラムを提供する団体に選ばれ、

    日本人または日系オーナー様の支援をしております。


    In partnership with the Small Business Resiliency Network (SBRN)

    of the Washington State Department of Commerce

    the Small Business Resiliency Program

    of the Japan America Society of the State of Washington

    has supported minority business owners of limited English ability

    who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Specifically, our program was chosen by the Washington State Department of Commerce to offer support IN JAPANESE to Japanese and Japanese speaking businesspersons.


    このプログラムは次の二つの軸で成り立っています

    Our program includes 2 main pillars of support

    1. Resources

    SBAが提供するPPPやEIDLのように

    申請により支援を受けるプログラムを始め図書館で提供する無料相談コーナーなど

    多くの支援プログラムが国、州などの公的機関から提供されています

    そのような支援プログラム情報を日本語で紹介します


    Explanations and information in Japanese regarding Federal,

    State and other public programs offered by the

    Federal Small Business Administration (SBA)

    such as the PPP and EIDL programs,

    and more recently WA Hospitality Grants. 

    Applicants to these programs can access government support

    such as free consulting sessions offered at

    public libraries and in virtual meetings.


    2. Technical Assistance


    事業を立ち上げる、あるいは運営するにあたり

    多くの疑問点を解決しなければならない場面は多く

    こんな時に日本語で相談できたら・・

    と感じる方は多いのではないでしょうか?

    また、オーナーの皆様が知りたい情報を

    日本語でSBRPがご提供しています。


    現在SBRPでご提供しているプログラムは、

    1.無料Business webinar Seriesの録画アーカイブ動画提供

    2.週刊知っ得情報(週1回)

    3.日米協会のPodcast、Small Business Bites (週1回)

    4.日米協会SBEA会員向けニュースレターの発行(週1回)


    また、

    ・ 会員の皆様の質問を、SBRPが政府に直接尋ねます

    ・会員の皆様のご要望により、ビジネスとビジネスをつなぎます

    ・SBRP主催のイベントの優先的な登録ができます

    ・ビジネスを広く宣伝する機会ができます



    Many Japanese-speaking businesspeople starting up and

    operating businesses benefit from consultations in Japanese

    regarding the issues they encounter.

    ready to discuss the practical matters

    that businesses in Washington State encounter.


    Our Small Business Resiliency Program currently includes:

    1. Free, recorded Business Webinars.

    2. The Weekly Report: “Shittoku” with useful information

    in Japanese for business owners.

    3. The Weekly Japan-America Society Podcast:
