One partner, from first search to rent collection
01
Source
Tell us your mandate — asset type, budget, target yield. We surface matching commercial inventory across Japan.
02
Diligence
Rent rolls, tenancy, structural and legal checks — translated and summarised so you can decide with clarity.
03
Close
Offer, financing introductions, and closing coordinated with local partners. No trip to Japan required.
04
Manage
Leasing, rent collection, and maintenance handled locally — with reporting you can read from home.
Financing
Foreign buyers can borrow in Japan — through a Japanese company.
01
A Japanese entity
Lending is to a company, not an individual. Most buyers set up a KK or GK; newly incorporated entities are fine.
02
A corporate bank account
Opened in the entity's name. Multi-currency accounts are available to non-resident owners.
03
An introduction
We put qualified buyers in front of a Japanese lender that actively works with foreign-owned companies, and stay in the process.
How the lending is structured
We work with a Japanese partner lender that finances foreign-owned Japanese companies. Broad shape of what they do:
Who can borrow
Companies (KK or GK) established in Japan by foreign investors. Newly incorporated entities are accepted.
What is financed
Residential, office, commercial, hotel and condominium assets — whole buildings or individual units.
Ticket size
From ¥20M to several billion yen.
Loan to value
Typically around 50% of the purchase price.
Term
1 to 25 years, depending on the asset and the borrower.
Banking
Corporate deposit accounts for residents and non-residents in JPY, USD, EUR and AUD, with business internet banking and foreign remittance.
Indicative only, and not an offer of finance. Terms depend on the borrower, the asset and the lender's own assessment.
Free loan assessment
Tell us the entity you would buy through, the asset you are targeting and your ticket size. We will come back on whether the deal is financeable and what the lender will want to see.
