Kyushu factory-less injection moulding and sheet metal parts maker

What is for sale

This is a factory-less manufacturing business based in Kyushu/Okinawa that designs and arranges production of injection moulded and sheet metal parts, using a network of outsourced partner factories rather than its own plant. It is run by the representative and a small team, handling everything from client requirements to subcontracted manufacturing and quality control. The owner is selling to focus on a different business.

Because this is an asset (business) transfer, the buyer purchases the equipment, stock and know-how rather than the company itself, so contracts, accounts and any licences would need to be re-established in the buyer's own name.

What is included

• Equipment (設備)
• Inventory/stock (在庫)
• Know-how (ノウハウ)
• Existing partner factory network relationships
• Existing customer relationships

Strengths (as the seller states them)

• End-to-end handling from client requirement gathering to outsourced manufacturing and quality control
• Efficient production model using an external partner factory network instead of owning a factory
• Continues to receive steady orders from existing clients and referrals even without active sales efforts
• Seller states there is room for further growth through new sales channel development

Wrinkles a careful buyer would ask about

• This is an asset/business transfer, not a share sale, so the buyer does not acquire a company entity
• Net assets are not disclosed publicly, only visible after member registration
• Seller says a handover period of support from the representative is possible but actual operating structure and partner factory relationships should be confirmed during negotiation
• Seller is also listing/considering other M&A brokers for this sale
• Buyer qualifications/requirements marked as unanswered

Paying for it

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). You start a bank relationship from zero.

What this listing says. The listing does not mention any debts, loans or personal guarantees transferring with the business; it does show the broker's success fee scale, starting at 1.5 million yen (tax excluded) for deals up to 10 million yen, rising in tiers for larger deal sizes, with no upfront or interim fees.
