This business manufactures and sells inspection machines for automobiles and automotive parts, and also provides maintenance services for them. It has operated for several decades and has an established track record with major automakers and auto parts manufacturers. The owner is selling due to a lack of a successor.
The listing labels the transferred entity as "会社" (company) but also lists individuals as eligible negotiating parties, so it is not clearly stated whether this is a share sale or an asset sale; a buyer should confirm this directly with the seller before proceeding.
If you stay overseas. No Japanese bank will lend to a new company whose director lives abroad. The realistic stack is your own cash plus asking the owner to take part of the price over 2 to 3 years. That one question is in every Deal Pack.
If you move to Japan. On a visa that lets you run a business, Japan Finance Corporation lends up to ¥72M at about 1 to 2 percent for exactly this. Once you have a Japanese company, the government pays two-thirds of due diligence and registered-broker costs, up to about ¥8M (round 16 closes 6 Nov 2026).
What this listing says. The broker charges a success fee on a sliding Lehman formula with a minimum of ¥10,000,000 before tax, though there is no upfront or interim fee; nothing is stated about existing debts, personal guarantees on loans, or instalment payment terms.
