What is for sale

This is a review, comparison and referral media website focused on a specific professional-services industry, connecting general users comparing services with businesses that advertise on the site. It has been generating steady monthly fixed advertising income plus affiliate-style performance fees for some time, with about 90% of traffic from organic search and only around 2 hours of monthly operating work. The owner is selling to focus on other media properties they run, not for any negative reason.

This is an asset (business) transfer, so the buyer acquires the website, know-how and related assets only, and must set up any accounts, contracts or domain registrations in their own name rather than inheriting a company.

What is included

Strengths (as the seller states them)

Wrinkles a careful buyer would ask about

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.
