The Open Business Succession Support by Relay and Tamashin Bank Enhances Future Growth in Tama Region

Open Business Succession Support by Relay and Tamashin Bank

In the Tama region of Tokyo, a new initiative has emerged to enhance the future of local businesses through open business succession. Relay, operated by Light Light, has partnered with Tamashin Bank to establish a dedicated website aimed at facilitating discussions around business succession. This partnership showcases a commitment to sustainability and community-driven economic development.

Founded in 1933, Tamashin Bank has a long-standing mission to foster happiness and prosperity in the local community. As a community-focused financial institution, it works diligently to address the challenges faced by businesses in the region, providing vital support through seminars and assistance in creating succession plans. With an increasing number of business owners expressing difficulty in finding successors, the introduction of the 'relay x Tamashin Bank Business Succession Support Special Site' represents a proactive approach to tackling this issue.

Through this initiative, information regarding businesses seeking successors will be shared with Relay, allowing for the open disclosure of potential successor candidates. This open-naming approach encourages a more intimate match between business owners and interested candidates, rooted in shared stories and motivations. Since its inception in 2020, Relay has already facilitated around 700 requests for successors and has achieved an impressive matching rate, making it the leading platform for business succession matches in Japan for three consecutive years.

Collaboration for Sustainable Development

Light Light’s CEO, Takayuki Saito, emphasizes that this collaboration is not just about ensuring the continuity of businesses, but also about preserving the sentiments and aspirations embedded in them. By creating a bridge between retiring business owners and prospective successors, the aim is to maintain the essence of what these businesses represent.

The partnership with Tamashin Bank highlights the importance of local relationships in business transitions. By integrating their resources and expertise, both organizations aim to cultivate a supportive environment for entrepreneurs in the Tama region. Furthermore, Relay is actively seeking to broaden its collaboration with other financial and specialized institutions throughout Japan, aspiring to foster open business succession support across various locales.
