Cambodia Market Entry Support: Optimal Location Selection and Cost-Effective Restaurant Launch

This article is based on an interview with a client who actually received our support. By sharing their genuine experiences—from initial considerations of overseas expansion to operations after market entry—we aim to provide readers with a clear, realistic understanding of what “overseas expansion” truly involves.

Challenges Prior to Overseas Expansion

Our company had successfully operated restaurants in Japan and was looking to enter new markets for further growth. We decided on Cambodia, but quickly realized we lacked any substantial knowledge of the local market.

We had virtually no insight into Cambodian consumer preferences or how other Japanese restaurants were performing there. Additionally, we were unsure about the legal process of establishing a local entity, acquiring visas, hiring local staff, or even how to locate secondhand restaurant properties suitable for our business.

Without a concrete starting point, we struggled to see how to move forward with our Cambodia expansion.

Why We Decided to Partner with ABCD Inc.

Recognizing these challenges, we consulted ABCD Inc., a trusted provider of overseas market-entry support. Their track record, strong on-the-ground presence in Cambodia, and comprehensive eight-month support plan made them a compelling partner.

During our initial consultation, ABCD Inc. presented clear solutions and a detailed timeline tailored to our specific concerns—giving us confidence that we could proceed with our expansion plans.

Impressions After Implementation

Once the partnership began, ABCD Inc. initiated an in-depth market survey. They provided data on Cambodian consumer preferences and popular Japanese cuisines, helping us shape our menu and services to better meet local needs.

They also delivered detailed analyses of existing Japanese restaurants, enabling us to develop an appropriate pricing model and promotional strategies.

When it came to establishing our company and obtaining visas, ABCD Inc. offered end-to-end support, guiding us through the complex paperwork and processes with remarkable attention to detail.

Notably, their help in finding a suitable secondhand restaurant property was invaluable. They showed us multiple locations that met our requirements, and we ultimately secured one in a prime area with pre-existing equipment—a factor that saved us both time and money.

Results After Implementation

Over the eight months of support, we saw our Cambodia expansion plans materialize step by step. Leveraging local market insights, we introduced a menu tailored to Cambodian consumers, significantly boosting customer visits and securing repeat business.

Moreover, the smooth processes for company establishment, visa acquisition, and staff recruitment laid a solid foundation for day-to-day operations. Finding a cost-effective property early on also contributed to overall financial stability.

What began as an unfamiliar venture into the Cambodian food and beverage scene quickly transformed into a thriving business, largely thanks to ABCD Inc.’s guidance. Today, our restaurant is popular with local customers, and we’re already looking at possible future expansions.
