What is for sale

This is a metal stamping and mould manufacturing company in the Kanto region of Japan, handling mould design, production, prototypes and data creation for automotive parts. The company covers everything from client discussions through manufacturing to delivery in one stop. The owner is selling because there is no successor to take over the business.

Because this is a share sale, the buyer takes over the existing company itself, including its lease, licences, bank accounts and equipment, rather than setting up a new entity.

What is included

100% of company shares
Large, well maintained production machinery and equipment
Long serving skilled employees (20+ years tenure)
Factory premises/operations (at around 80% utilisation)
Existing client relationships with mould and prototype manufacturers
In-house one-stop process from meeting to delivery

Strengths (as the seller states them)

Owns large scale equipment in good condition, reducing need for near-term capital investment
Skilled employees with 20+ years tenure enable fast turnaround and high quality, precision work
Fully in-house, one-stop service from consultation to manufacturing and delivery, minimising outsourcing
Stable high profit margins with effectively no interest-bearing debt (net cash position), described as financially sound

Wrinkles a careful buyer would ask about

Buyer should confirm arrangements for releasing the president's personal guarantee on company borrowings after the sale
Continued employment of existing staff after transfer needs to be confirmed
Continuation of trading terms with existing clients/suppliers needs to be confirmed
Detailed financials (cash, total assets, net assets, depreciation, director pay) are not disclosed publicly and require member registration to view
Factory utilisation currently around 80 percent, so growth depends on buyer adding sales channels or staff

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). The company's existing bank relationship comes with it.

What this listing says. The listing states the company is effectively debt-free (net cash position) but asks the buyer to confirm release of the president's personal guarantee on any company borrowings; separately, the broker charges a success fee on a sliding scale, with a minimum of ¥25,000,000 for deal value up to ¥200,000,000, plus a 10 percent interim fee at signing of the basic agreement, on top of any Tranbi platform fee.
