Kanto-Koshinetsu contract software development and web production company

What is for sale

This is a company that handles contract system development and web production, covering everything from planning and requirements definition through design, development, testing, maintenance and cloud infrastructure operation in-house. It has a track record of stable, trouble-free cloud infrastructure operation and has won work from local government tenders as well as clients across many industries. The seller is looking for a partner with sales strength and capital backing to stabilise the business and support further growth, citing concerns about the business's long-term standalone viability.

Because this is a share transfer, the buyer acquires the company itself, so its contracts, licences, bank account and existing client relationships carry over automatically rather than needing to be re-applied for.

What is included

• The company itself (shares)
• In-house development team
• In-house designer(s)
• Existing client contracts including local government tender work
• Ongoing maintenance contracts with clients
• Cloud infrastructure operation know-how

Strengths (as the seller states them)

• Handles everything in-house from requirements definition to infrastructure operation, with no outsourcing
• Has its own designer, so development and design are offered as one stop
• Long track record of stable, trouble-free cloud infrastructure operation, a technical strength rare among web-only firms
• Small, focused team allows fast decision-making and quick response on development work

Wrinkles a careful buyer would ask about

• Financial details such as director pay, depreciation, cash balance, total assets, interest-bearing debt and net assets are hidden until you register as a member
• Revenue and profit are only shown as broad ranges, not exact figures
• Seller wants to stay on as manager after the sale
• Buyer should check the status of ongoing local government tender and maintenance contracts, and terms with key clients
• Buyer should confirm the operating structure and any impacts after the transfer, as the seller is also in parallel talks with other M&A brokers

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.
