■ Business Model
◆ Business Overview
[Business Summary]
◇ A pioneer among companies specializing in family funerals
◇ Currently limited to repeat clients only, at about 5 cases per month
◇ Funeral hall equipment, refrigeration units, etc. are fully in place for immediate operation (hall rental possible)
◇ The phone number can also be transferred
◇ Holds first-mover advantage in the area and maintains good relationships with hospital caseworkers
◇ No small-scale or internet-based companies in the area, and no new entrants in 7 years
◇ Through partnerships with services such as Small Funeral, there were 10–15 cases per month, so revenue growth can be expected via partnerships
◆ Product and Service Features
1. Recognized as the area's first specialist in family funerals and direct cremations.
2. Opened as a funeral hall dedicated to a massive residential complex developed 40 years ago, around the same time as the complex.
3. Afterward, a Japanese Red Cross hospital (310 beds) was built directly in front (1 minute by car).
4. The neighborhood — with Uniqlo, McDonald's, Yamada Denki, Yumean, numerous restaurants, drugstores, Gyomu Super, York Mart, and more — has become a prime spot at the heart of daily life in Hadano City. Thanks to this, brand recognition is considerable.
5. We have ties with the founding members of both Small Funeral and Yorisou Funeral (the Tanaka brothers, Mr. Ashizawa, and Mr. Akita), and if there is intent to partner, we believe operations could resume almost immediately.
6. Neighboring Isehara City (a trade area of 100,000 people) also has no crematorium, so residents end up using the Hadano City funeral hall (at in-city rates).
7. Hadano City and Isehara City have no city-rented funeral halls. As the only rental hall, it can be used by operators in Tokyo and elsewhere in the prefecture. (In such cases, a partner transport company nearby can carry the deceased to the hall for repose without the operator needing to be present.)
8. There is no funeral hall within a 5 km radius of this hall, and the area has only mutual-aid associations, JA, and small family-run funeral homes following old customs. It therefore appears to be a property that could quickly generate revenue for companies skilled at web-based customer acquisition, portal-site partner stores, or Tokyo operators looking to expand into Kanagawa.
9. Hadano City itself has a Romancecar express stop. With the Tomei Nakai Interchange (5 minutes from the hall) and the Second Tomei Hadano Interchange developed last year, the transport network is well developed.
10. As it was built as a caretaker's lodge, the second floor has a bedroom, washbasin, bathtub, and dining area. It was used as a dormitory at ¥35,000.
11. Izumo Taisha shrine is nearby, and people pass in front of the hall, so recognition is outstanding.
12. Since seriously ill residents of Hadano City are hospitalized at Tokai University Hospital in neighboring Isehara City, there are also cases of death and discharge from there.
13. This is the trade area on the Nakai Interchange side, but due to land constraints, commercial vacancies almost never come up. As a result, there are also acquisition inquiries from other developers, so we place the highest priority on speed. Finally: considering the families we have assisted and those we are currently in consultation with, we have a strong desire to sell to a funeral company. From the moment of sale, the equipment and consumables needed to conduct funerals empty-handed are fully in place. Separately, a near-new light transport vehicle and a used hearse can also be transferred (price negotiable).
◆ Customer and Client Profile
1. People from the Japanese Red Cross hospital.
2. Google My Business (ranked highly).
3. Local residents.
4. Those wishing for family funerals (as there are no specialists).
5. Repeat clients.
6. The predecessor at our site was also a funeral company, so we also have its repeat clients. Regarding suppliers: being close to the Tomei Nakai Interchange, a certain major florist delivers from Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Ebina, with prompt handling of additional requests. There is a catering shop nearby, as well as a return-gift supplier and a transport company.
◆ Workforce and Organization
The owner is the sole staff member.
◆ Strengths and Selling Points
Located right below the hospital (a former caretaker's lodge). Highly rated on Google reviews. Ranked highly on Google My Business. As of two years ago, in-city police cases switched to a system in which the bereaved family chooses from a list, so there are no police-designated operators.
