Supporting Startups with Zero Municipal Budget

In a remarkable initiative, Safety Innovation Co., Ltd., located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is set to unveil its new platform for startup support at notable events in May 2026. These events include the "Municipal and Public Week 2026" at Tokyo Big Sight from May 13 to 15 and the "Regional x Tech Kyushu" held at the Hakata International Exhibition and Conference Center on May 14 and 15. Through this platform, the company aims to tackle the dual challenges of insufficient entrepreneurship and rising vacancy rates in business properties.

The Importance of Startup Support

With many municipalities prioritizing "startup support" as a key strategy for local revitalization, there is increasing emphasis on supporting business plan development and grant applications. However, small-scale businesses and sole proprietors often struggle due to limited credit history, hindering their ability to secure office spaces and causing many to abandon their entrepreneurial dreams. This situation is particularly frustrating because many funding opportunities require confirmed office space before an application can be submitted, creating a paradox that deters new businesses.

Recognizing these challenges, Safety Innovation aims to collaborate with real estate agents who possess extensive local property information and networks and municipalities committed to fostering entrepreneurship. By doing so, the company positions itself to solve these issues within the scope of its rent guarantee services.

Integrating Real Estate and Credit Guarantees

In line with the upcoming establishment of "corporate value collateral rights" in May 2026, Safety Innovation plans to integrate its "チイキボオフィス" (Regional Office) service for securing office spaces with "Biz保証" (Biz Guarantee) to provide a comprehensive startup support platform. This initiative seeks to create a conducive environment where new businesses can smoothly start and maintain operations, ultimately fostering job creation and lively urban development.

Aiming for Leadership in the Business Rent Guarantee Market

The rent guarantee market has two main categories: residential and business. Currently, the residential rent guarantee segment is dominated by major companies and financial institutions, resulting in a competitive and mature market. Conversely, the business property market, particularly in securing credit support and office acquisition for early-stage and small-scale businesses, lacks a robust framework. Safety Innovation strides into this underdeveloped space to create a new market ecosystem by providing integrated solutions for credit support and property acquisition.

Services to be Showcased

Safety Innovation will present the following innovative solutions at its booth, aimed at sustainable regional development in collaboration with municipalities:

1. Specialized Matching for Small Properties: The company leverages its platform, "ちいきぼオフィス," which showcases a rich collection of small offices highly sought after by startups and businesses in their growth stages. This platform allows local real estate agents to list properties for free, incentivizing them to provide a variety of choices for entrepreneurs while alleviating leasing burdens.

2. Credit Support through Biz保証: Safety Innovation’s specialized rent guarantee service, "Biz保証," addresses the significant barrier of entrance assessments frequently faced by early-stage companies. It thoroughly evaluates and guarantees credit, facilitating landlords' confidence to lease their properties to new businesses and stimulating regional economic challenges.

3. Infrastructure for Sustainable Startup Credit: This initiative allows municipalities to utilize Safety Innovation’s platform while minimizing additional budget burdens. By fostering collaboration, they can efficiently develop an integrated support system for startups in their regions.
