中村 裕幸 — Naker Rating K.K.

International Credit Investigation NRating / NRPD Trade Credit Insurance Economic Security Debt Collection
Message

As President of Naker Rating K.K., I am committed to providing Japanese companies engaged in international trade with accurate and meaningful corporate credit information from around the world.

Having witnessed firsthand cases in which companies acquired credit reports lacking sufficient information — only to later incur bad debts even with well-known counterparties — I founded this company to address those critical challenges.

Going forward, we will leverage our strong domestic and international research network and actively adopt AI and data analytics technologies. Through these efforts, we aim to continue providing an information infrastructure that enables our clients to pursue global business with confidence.
