Business problems it solves
About "後藤、貸します。"
What is 後藤、貸します。?
後藤、貸します。 (literally "Lending you Goto") is a service from 合同会社Initiate Global Strategies (IGS) in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, in which the representative, 後藤佑輔, personally joins a small or medium-sized business as its point person and takes on business improvement, AI adoption and AI search optimization for a monthly fee. The official site targets SMEs that have "no one in-house to entrust business improvement and AI to," and says that one monthly fee covers everything from advice on choosing AI tools, to automating office work, to measuring and improving how the company is presented in AI search on ChatGPT and Google.
Prices start at 100,000 JPY per month for 15 hours (tax excluded), with plans of 200,000 JPY for 30 hours and 300,000 JPY for 45 hours a month. Every plan covers the same scope of work; only the number of hours differs. Meetings are held once a week, and there is no minimum contract period.
IGS also offers AI consulting in which it "picks one task, builds a working system, and delivers it" (from 100,000 JPY per task, tax excluded). This page covers 後藤、貸します。, the monthly ongoing service.
Support overview
How the engagement works
The official flow from consultation to kickoff is as follows.
Apply for the 30-minute free consultation
Apply via the form or calendar. You do not need to know what to request yet
Hearing
IGS asks which tasks you want to improve and in what order
Proposal
IGS proposes how the work would look in practice and a plan
Contract and start
After signing, the two sides agree on the month's work and start with the highest priorities
After signing, a weekly meeting reviews progress and decides what to do next. Priorities can be changed along the way (official FAQ).
The representative handles it in person, working alone with AI
The defining feature of this service is that 後藤佑輔, the representative, handles everything from being the contact point to doing the work and checking its quality. The official FAQ answers: "I am the contact point, and I do the work and the quality check myself."
後藤 founded IGS in April 2023 after working at Daiwa Securities and Accenture (handling DX promotion and PMO for financial institutions). The site says 後藤 now uses an AI agent (Claude Code) to run, single-handedly, the planning, development and operation of the company's own services, blog and social media posts, and website updates, SEO and AI search optimization. The service page explains that, at a consulting firm, assigning just one person costs more than 2 million JPY a month, which is hard for SMEs, and that this is why the service starts at 100,000 JPY a month.
On the use of AI, the site says: "I use AI as a tool, but I am the one who checks and finishes the work. You always review it before anything is published or sent."

Every plan lets you request work in the following three areas. Even if you have not decided what to request, IGS says it will sort it out with you in the free consultation.

If you would rather pick a single task and have a system delivered, IGS's AI consulting is available (from 100,000 JPY per task, tax excluded). In the official build example, a system that registers received invoice PDFs in a payment list is built from 100,000 JPY (tax excluded), including an operating walkthrough and manual. Usage fees for the AI the system uses (such as the OpenAI API) are charged separately.
The official site has no information on subsidies or grants.
Track record and case studies
The official site does not publish named client case studies or a client count. The six "build examples" are verifications in which systems were run on test data to measure processing time and accuracy (business partner names are masked; the GA4 report example uses IGS's own site data).
01Verification cases (official "build examples") — 6
The figures are IGS's own verification results, not results from clients' live operations.
- Registering received invoice PDFs in a payment list — Read 30 invoices from 15 business partners (4 of them scanned images) in 16 seconds and created a payment list sorted by due date. Bank account changes, duplicate invoices and mismatched totals are noted in a "check items" column. AI usage cost about 14 JPY for 30 invoices. Payments are made by staff
- Transcribing fax and PDF purchase orders into an order list — 30 purchase orders into the order list in 71 seconds
- Attendance tallying from smartphone clock-ins — Tallied one month of attendance for 40 people in under a second and created data for payroll software
- Other — Reporting GA4 and Search Console figures to Chatwork every morning (about 7 seconds), combining 78 booking notifications into one booking sheet in about 2 minutes, turning the transcript of a 60-minute meeting into minutes and proposed to-do list updates in about 1 minute
02In-house operations
These are used in IGS's own business, not client deployments.
- Self-developed web services — サイト採点くん, SNSはじめるくん (social media account design reports), 家じまいくん, 返信みはりくん (tracking unanswered Chatwork messages), a collection of free AI tools, and a collection of free AI letter and greeting tools. IGS says the free AI tool collection "exceeded 100,000 Google search impressions a month within six months of launch"
- AI employee team — An organization of AI agents that split up articles, social media, analysis and more. 76 developed (as of November 2026)
- AI search optimization of its own site — About 17,000 impressions in Google's AI search over 3 months and about 1,300 citations in Bing's AI (Copilot) (official figures, as of November 2026)
How it differs from other AI consulting and implementation support
Compared with companies that publish prices and that SMEs can engage monthly:
| Company / service | Operator (location) | Scope | Price (published) | Contract commitment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 後藤、貸します。 | 合同会社Initiate Global Strategies (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) | Organizing work, simple development, adoption, AI search optimization | 100,000 JPY/15 hours, 200,000 JPY/30 hours, 300,000 JPY/45 hours per month (tax excluded) | No minimum term |
| hirosta AI業務改善・業務自動化支援 | 株式会社hirosta (Hiroshima) | Assessment, prototyping, development, adoption | 50,000, 150,000 or 300,000 JPY per month (tax excluded) | No minimum term |
| デジタルゴリラ AI導入支援 | 株式会社デジタルゴリラ (Sendai) | Strategy, PoC, adoption | From 100,000 JPY per month (tax excluded) | Auto-renews every 6 months at minimum |
| アドカル 生成AIコンサルティング | 株式会社アドカル (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) | Strategy, development, adoption | Generative AI advisory from 50,000 JPY per month (tax excluded); development quoted per project | No contract lock-in |
| AX総研 AI顧問・導入コンサル | 株式会社AX総合研究所 (Toshima-ku, Tokyo) | Strategy, development, adoption | AI advisory 300,000 JPY per month (tax excluded); implementation consulting quoted individually | AI advisory has no minimum term |
The other companies' columns reflect each product page as of its check date.
What sets 後藤、貸します。 apart is that the price is set by "how many hours a month the representative works," with the same scope of work on every plan, and that AI search optimization can be requested from the same person along with business improvement and AI advice. If you value automating tasks one at a time and checking the effect in numbers, consider hirosta AI業務改善・業務自動化支援; if you value adoption through training, デジタルゴリラ AI導入支援; and if you want executives themselves to automate work with Claude Code, GENAI. Other companies are listed in our comparison of AI consulting and implementation support companies.
Who it suits and who it doesn't
It suits SMEs that want to move business improvement and AI adoption forward but have no employee to entrust it to. You can consult before deciding what to request, start at 15 hours for 100,000 JPY a month (tax excluded), and decide whether to continue with no minimum contract term. It also fits companies that want to automate office work while keeping tools like Gmail, Chatwork and freee, or that want someone to also look at how they are presented in AI search on ChatGPT and Google.
It does not suit companies that want a multi-person team to take on large-scale development or company-wide rollout in one package, or that want a resident on site. The work is done by the representative alone, intake is capped at 5 companies a month, and residency and work requiring professional qualifications such as tax and legal work are not accepted. If you want to choose a provider based on named client case studies or client counts, the official site alone also makes that hard to judge.
FAQ
How much does 後藤、貸します。 cost? There are three options: 100,000 JPY for 15 hours, 200,000 JPY for 30 hours and 300,000 JPY for 45 hours a month, all tax excluded (as of November 2026). Working hours include meetings, communication and checks. Paying for 3 months in one lump sum halves the first month.

Can it handle development too? Simple development of business-improvement tools and the design and development of AI agents are on the menu. The official site says nothing about larger system development, so check in the free consultation.
Can I stop partway? Yes. There is no minimum contract term, and you can stop month by month. However, if you paid for 3 months in one lump sum, there is no refund if you stop partway.
Who actually does the work? The representative, 後藤佑輔, in person. 後藤 handles everything from being the contact point to doing the work and checking quality, uses AI as a tool, checks and finishes the output, and has the client review it before anything is published or sent.
