Business Overview
- We serve over 1,000 clients through B2B and online B2C channels, generating around 100 M JPY annually.
- With nearly 20 years of experience in Japan, we have built strong international relationships with suppliers and clients.
- We operate a self-managed warehouse and shop/office, running the business with low overheads.
- Our current EBITDA is only 5% because the promoter takes a salary of 20 million JPY; a new owner could reduce this for much higher profit margins.
- The business has only one permanent employee—the promoter; all other staff work on a part-time basis.
- We have received multiple awards from trade and government associations, reflecting our credibility and consistent growth.
Products & Services Overview
- We focus on small-batch New World wines, unique varietals, and mixed wine cases packaged for retail.
- Our top-selling products highlight natural and postmodern-style wines, often sourced from distinctive or heritage vineyards.
- We serve a diverse client base that includes retail consumers in Japan through online channels like Shopify, Vivino, and Amazon Japan, as well as B2B clients such as restaurants, bars, and specialty wine shops seeking curated and authentic wine selections.
Assets Overview
Depending on the settlement contract, the business assets include a luxury car (Land Rover Defender); a 3-story leased townhouse with a car park and office space; a leased office/shop and warehouse; approximately 12 months of stock; various equipment (in use and in storage); a negotiable Tokyo American Club membership; and all necessary licenses, including an alcohol license, an import license, and a business license.
Facilities Overview
The business operates a large wine warehouse in Sagamihara and a small wine shop in Meguro. The total monthly rent for the shop and warehouse is approximately 270,000 JPY, with a similar rental cost for the company house and car park, also located in Meguro.
Capitalization Overview
The business has a total debt of less than 10 million JPY, structured across three separate loans—one maturing in 2 years, another in 3 years, and a very low-interest loan maturing in 5 years from now. Financing is provided through our partner bank at 2.0–2.1% per annum and the local chamber of commerce at 0.6% per annum.
