Osaka company: TikTok liver agency, used clothing, EC shop

What is for sale

This company runs three businesses: a TikTok live streamer talent agency that currently earns about ¥50,000 a month from creator commissions, a secondhand clothing business with stock, a secondhand goods dealer licence, an EC site and delivery bags all in place but no sales history, and a select shop EC site that is fully set up but has not yet launched. The current owner is not the founder, having acquired the company via M&A this past January, and is selling because the secondhand clothing SNS marketing strategy failed and not a single item has sold, leaving only the TikTok agency as a source of income.

Because this is a share transfer, the buyer takes over the whole company, including its bank account, contracts and any registrations, rather than just buying selected assets.

What is included

• Inventory (stock) for the secondhand clothing business
• Secondhand goods dealer licence (古物商)
• Website and EC site infrastructure
• SNS and EC accounts (confirmed transferable by the platform operator)
• Delivery/shipping bags
• Know-how (though seller notes this cannot really be handed over)

Strengths (as the seller states them)

• Inventory and all setup steps for the secondhand clothing business are already complete
• Buyer does not need to inherit any quirky branding or existing marketing strategy, so a new owner can build their own approach
• Seller has connections with influencers, including some with over 100,000 followers and TV variety show appearances
• Business can be run remotely, entirely online, and does not require the owner to be present (side-business friendly)

Wrinkles a careful buyer would ask about

• Secondhand clothing SNS marketing strategy has failed and not a single item has sold to date
• Seller explicitly states that business knowledge and know-how cannot be handed over
• Only the TikTok agency currently generates revenue; the clothing and select shop businesses are not yet profitable or even launched
• Detailed financials (retained earnings, cash balance, total assets, liabilities, net assets) are hidden and only visible after member registration
• Revenue and profit are shown only as wide bands (¥1 to ¥5,000,000), so real performance is unclear

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.
