This Shimane-based company designs and manufactures welfare equipment plus mechanical, electrical and software systems, combining contract design/manufacturing work with a new healthcare device line. It has long-standing direct relationships with major manufacturers and regional firms, and has developed a patented massage device for elderly and care-dependent users. The owner is selling due to a lack of a successor, financial reasons and a strategic review, and wants a quick sale.
Because this is a share transfer, the buyer acquires the company itself, so its contracts, patents, bank account and any existing debts come along with 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 company carries a long-term loan of about ¥5,000,000 and has negative net assets (debt exceeds assets), both of which would transfer to the buyer as part of the share acquisition; the broker charges a success-fee only, with a minimum of ¥1,500,000 (plus tax) for deals up to ¥10,000,000.
