If I were you I would try to be realistic and cut my losses. Follow the advice
of getting an accountant and focus on what is important for your company. If
you had a good reason to start it then you should persist if it is
appropriate, however if you where dreaming too much either change your
priorities or cut your losses. Its your money at the end of the day.

As in terms of career wise I dont think a failed business is such a problem -
as long as you can sell it in a positive light. Career wise being an English
teacher is the bigger problem I think. Many People that I know from Asia -
foreigners and natives - look down on these so called "white monkey jobs".

Also its strange that you use "suicide" and "my actions to reflect badly on
other foreigners in Japan" in the same paragraph. If you are depressed you
shouldn't care how other foreigners look by your actions.

I feel quite ashamed of being an English teacher too. Whenever I meet someone
at a party I always say I'm a software engineer, even though I know that's not
really true.

When I write my resume I just don't write the months on so it appears I was
working at the companies for 1 year instead of 2-6 months. That way I can
claim I wasn't an English teacher.

Hey man, keep your head up. I understand how difficult it can be running a
business especially in a foreign country. A good way to keep your cashflow
positive is to get contracts and outsource them. You can email me if you need
a hand as I am also a software engineer, I could be of help.
