Shizuoka electronics soldering manufacturer, share transfer

What is for sale

This is a Shizuoka-based electronic equipment and component assembly business, with soldering work making up about 90% of operations and the remaining 10% assembly of static elimination devices. It operates one of Japan's relatively rare dedicated soldering factories and holds direct trading accounts with a number of established companies. The owner is selling due to a lack of a successor.

Because this is a share transfer, the buyer acquires the company itself, so its lease, licences, bank account and contracts should carry over without needing to be re-applied for.

What is included

• The company itself (shares)
• Factory premises/operations in Shizuoka
• Existing direct trading accounts with established clients
• Soldering equipment and assembly line for static elimination devices
• Staff (up to 50 employees)

Strengths (as the seller states them)

• Operates one of the few dedicated soldering factories in Japan
• Holds multiple direct trading accounts with reputable companies
• Stable order base from established client relationships
• Benefiting from a trend of manufacturers moving production back to Japan due to the weak yen

Wrinkles a careful buyer would ask about

• Sale is due to lack of a successor, a common but important point to probe for operational continuity risks
• Detailed financials (cash balance, total assets, interest-bearing debt, net assets) are hidden until the buyer registers as a member
• Buyer should confirm equipment condition and terms of key client contracts before proceeding
• Scope of handover (what exactly transfers with the business) is not fully detailed in the public listing
• Broker success fee has a minimum of ¥5,000,000 plus a mid-process fee of 30% of that success fee (minimum ¥1,500,000 plus tax), which is a significant cost on top of the nominal ¥1 price

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 headline price is a nominal ¥1 for the shares, but the buyer must also pay the broker's success fee (Lehman formula, minimum ¥5,000,000) plus a mid-process fee of 30% of the success fee (minimum ¥1,500,000 plus tax); the listing does not state anything about existing loans, guarantees or deferred payment terms.
