ATOMica to Provide Business Succession Support at Assemble Nagaoka in July 2025

Introduction
Starting from July 1, 2025, ATOMica, a startup centered on social co-working, will begin offering business succession consultation services at its co-working space, Assemble Nagaoka, located in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. This initiative marks the first of its kind for ATOMica, as it teams up with Light Right, which operates the open-name business succession service called relay.

Background of ATOMica's Initiative
ATOMica's mission is to foster relationships built on trust within communities. By listening to the voices of locals through community managers stationed across its nationwide hubs, ATOMica has addressed local issues and facilitated connections among people. As concerns regarding business continuity surfaced due to a lack of successors, ATOMica initiated efforts aimed at providing support for business succession, signing a business partnership with Light Right on November 26, 2024.

Collaboration with Light Right
Light Right is also a startup based in Miyazaki Prefecture and operates the relay service. By combining forces with another local startup, ATOMica believes that their joint efforts can pioneer solutions for the business succession challenges faced by businesses in Nagaoka, showcasing the potential for regional collaboration. Together, they aim to create new avenues for value creation, grounded in their shared insights and actions.

Details of Service Offerings at Assemble Nagaoka
The co-working space, Assemble Nagaoka, has been established in partnership with Koyanagi Construction Co., a company that has successfully navigated business succession while enhancing its corporate value. This site will serve as a trusted partner for local entrepreneurs, allowing them to engage in practical support and build solid relationships. ATOMica views this initiative as a blueprint for future national business succession support efforts in coordination with Light Right.
