BRIDGING JAPAN AND NEPAL
Risefrom zero.
Building a dependable path between Japan and Nepal.
Ryzera Ventures helps Japanese companies read the opportunity in Nepal, find partners worth trusting, secure the talent they need, invest with confidence, and build value that lasts.
WHO WE ARE
On the ground in Nepal. Working to Japanese standards.
Nepal holds real, unrealised potential in agriculture, renewable energy, tourism, digital services, manufacturing, and above all in people. Yet many Japanese companies find it difficult to identify a local partner they can rely on, or to read the operating environment from a distance.
Ryzera Ventures exists to close that gap. We combine an understanding of Japanese business culture with practical local knowledge, so that entry decisions are better informed and carry less risk.
Our aim is not to attract investment for its own sake. It is to build long-term relationships that create employment, transfer knowledge, strengthen local industry, and contribute to growth that holds.
WHY NEPAL, NOW
The case is already in the numbers.

HOW WE WORK
Four phases, with durations and deliverables stated first.
- 01
Scoping
Indicative duration：2–4 weeks
We establish the objective, the range of investment under consideration, and the time horizon. Desk research, a pre-F/S, gives an early, candid read on whether the opportunity merits further work. If our answer is that it does not, we say so and explain why.
- 02
Feasibility
Indicative duration：6–12 weeks
We run the on-the-ground feasibility study: market size and characteristics, distribution realities, competitors, required permits, and the existence and standing of candidate partners, all verified locally. We also design and accompany site visits.
- 03
Entry
Indicative duration：2–5 months
FITTA approval, Department of Industry or Investment Board Nepal filings, company registration, Nepal Rastra Bank registration, banking, tax registration and visas, run in parallel. Duration depends on sector and documentation readiness.
- 04
Operate
Indicative duration：Ongoing
Recruitment and development, support for local management, accounting and tax compliance, counterparty development, and regular reporting back to Japan, in Japanese, on the parent company's decision cycle.
MESSAGE
You should know who you would be working with.
The years I spent in Japan taught me the weight carried by two words: quality, and long-term. I want to bring that standard to Nepal.

FAQ
Questions we are asked most
Ryzera was registered with Nepal's Office of Company Registrar in 2026, and the engagements we can point to are still limited. So we would rather you assessed us on our disclosed registration details, the founder's background, and the clarity of what happens in each phase, than on the length of a client list. We will not present work we have not done.
A wholly Nepali-owned private company takes roughly 7–15 working days at the Office of Company Registrar. Foreign investment adds FITTA approval and Nepal Rastra Bank registration, which typically brings it to 3–6 weeks, and sometimes 2–3 months depending on sector and documentation readiness. Treat this as an indicative range rather than a commitment.
The current threshold is NPR 20 million (approximately USD 150,000), reduced from NPR 50 million through the FY2022/23 national budget. IT and export-oriented companies are currently exempt. Because this figure has changed more than once since 2019, confirm the prevailing rule before committing.
Yes. FITTA 2019 permits up to 100% foreign ownership outside negative-list sectors.
