■Start with Low Capital!
Starting a business with under ¥1 million lets you raise funds in a short period. We have gathered franchise businesses attractive to those who want to start right away. You can become independent with low capital, making it ideal for those starting as a side business.

■What Kinds of Franchises Are There?
Franchises that can be started for under ¥1 million include store-less businesses, visiting-type businesses, house cleaning, caregiving, and repair businesses. Many of these are "skill-based" businesses that keep labor costs low and can be started as a sole proprietorship. They can be said to be businesses where you earn as much as you put in.

■Some businesses let you gain experience before opening! There are also franchises with internship programs and other opportunities to build experience before going independent, so compare and consider them.

[No franchise fee, high profit margin, can be operated by one person] A vegetable soup specialty shop with monthly sales of 2 million yen

Start a business at extremely low cost

Our franchise brand allows you to open and operate a business with zero franchise fee (and no other initial costs at the time of contract). The reason we don't charge initial costs compared to other companies is that, in order to realize our philosophy of "creating a community where everyone can enjoy food and space," we believe that leveraging the support of various companies and individual business owners, in addition to our own capital, will allow us to achieve this more quickly and widely. Rather than charging high franchise fees and royalties from each store, we believe it is important to create a community between our business partners and ourselves by receiving only minimal operating costs from those who share our vision. ■Franchise Agreement Costs 【Initial Costs】  0 yen (No franchise fees, security deposits, etc. are charged at the time of FC contract) 【Monthly Fees】  You can choose one of the following. ① Recipe sharing model: 5.5% (tax included) royalty on total sales ② Designated ingredient wholesale sales model: 0 yen royalty *The monthly fee for the month of operation will be calculated on a pro-rata basis from the start date to the end of that month.

We recommend it with confidence ■ Differentiation from other congee restaurants While other congee restaurants tend to specialize in toppings, by adding "For recovery from colds and gastroenteritis" to our name, we have targeted people who are ill, specializing not just in healthy food but in recovery food, and have succeeded in differentiating ourselves from other restaurants and attracting a completely different customer base.

Enter the smartphone market, an essential part of everyday life! Start your trending glass coating business for just 11,000 yen per month!

"G-power" is a top-quality product that provides a bulletproof glass coating with a hardness of 9H or higher simply by applying it.

[Start-up capital from 350,000 yen!] We handle all the troublesome tasks for you! Information sessions are held daily at your convenience!

[Online sales without inventory]

Even for the same product, prices are significantly lower overseas than in Japan. Essentially, this system allows for substantial profits by purchasing overseas products cheaply and selling them domestically in Japan. While the term "sourcing" might conjure up images of inventory risk and financial concerns, rest assured. The business model we're introducing is "inventory-free selling." While some may have heard of or even experienced this, the reality is that very few in the industry are actually selling in a profitable, correct way. Because we operate using inventory-free selling, there's no need to hold large amounts of inventory beforehand, minimizing capital requirements.

We create and sell "one-of-a-kind gifts," such as picture books in which you are the main character.

A job that conveys emotions and makes people happy by turning feelings into "picture books".

As children, everyone had picture books read to them by their mothers. Wouldn't it be exciting if you were the main character in that picture book? Having a book in which you are the main character is a joyful experience for both children and adults. "Create-a-Book" is a system that allows you to create a one-of-a-kind original book on your computer by incorporating information such as the main character's name, the giver of the book, and a message into a basic original story. Although it is a business that originated in the United States, it has been refined to suit the delicate sensibilities of Japanese people, and has been elevated into a business that brings emotion and joy to both the giver and the receiver. This is still a largely untapped market in Japan.

Starting a marriage agency is low-cost and low-risk! No experience necessary if you enjoy helping others!

In today's world, where people have less experience interacting with the opposite sex, the need for matchmakers is increasing.

In recent years, changes in the environment and connections brought about by the rise of nuclear families and the widespread use of email and social media have led to an increase in the number of people who struggle with communicating with others. Furthermore, due to societal changes, the percentage of people without a romantic partner is increasing year by year (according to the national census). On the other hand, over 80% of people still hope to get married in the future. The need for matchmakers (counselor directors) to support and facilitate relationships for those who struggle with communication but aspire to marry is expected to increase even further in the future.

We offer the most delicious and cheapest grilled squid you'll find anywhere!

Above all, its greatest asset is its delicious taste! Grilled squid brings smiles to everyone who eats it!

"Ganso Tokyo Ikayaki" is a new type of squid pancake that combines the convenience of Osaka's famous squid pancake with the satisfying texture of okonomiyaki. Another popular item, "Umai-ka Bou," is also a squid pancake, but it's a new product that solves the problems of being difficult to eat with one hand or requiring a plate! It's a groundbreaking product that retains the chewy texture of squid pancakes while giving it a crepe-like sweetness. Once you try it, you'll be hooked! For hungry students, having such cheap, delicious, filling, and always freshly made food is incredibly appealing, isn't it? However, in reality, there are few such shops, and many people probably end up going to convenience stores. Wouldn't it be fun if an independent shop could break into that market and continue to thrive?

Earn over 8 million yen a year just by acting as a sales agent! "Doctor Leather," the leather hospital.

An innovative brand bag resale business made possible by the skills of expert craftsmen!

Doctor Leather's distributors operate a brand-name bag resale business. Owners purchase used brand-name bags and resell them after approximately one month of repair. This business is possible thanks to Doctor Leather's unique and advanced repair technology, which is the first of its kind in the industry, and its low level of competition is a major attraction! Repairs are handled by skilled craftsmen at the headquarters workshop, significantly increasing the value of the products. The profit margin on reselling popular brand-name bags is very high, with sales ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen per bag! Of course, we don't just provide technical support. We also provide owners with knowledge of best-selling products and brands, purchase prices, and sales know-how to ensure smooth sourcing and resale of used bags. This effectively minimizes the risk of deviating significantly from market prices.
