Franchise Fee, Royalty, Non-Compete, and Penalty All Zero: Support Model Expands to Three Brands

Tenpo Joho Service Co., Ltd. (Head Office: 8-2 Nihonbashi Koamicho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takeshi Shigetomo), which operates the community for store owners "Tenpo Keieisha Club," announced the launch of its third "Kaigyo Shien Model" (Business Launch Support Model), "Men's Rule," and the completion of a three-brand system with the first "Kate Stage Lash" and second "Vision Improvement Eye Care Salon." This model eliminates franchise fees, royalties, non-compete obligations, and penalties, enabling low-risk, specialized salon launches.

Three-Brand System Completed with Launch of Third Support Model, "Men's Rule"

Tenpo Keieisha Club (Operated by Tenpo Joho Service Co., Ltd.; President: Takeshi Shigetomo) has launched its third business launch support model, "Men's Rule."

This completes the three-brand system, including the first "Kate Stage Lash" and the second "Vision Improvement Eye Care Salon."

Each brand is operated by an independent owner, providing a system for low-risk, specialized beauty salon launches.

Franchise Fee, Royalty, Non-Compete Obligation, and Penalty All Zero – Unrestricted Beauty Salon Launch Support

What sets this model apart from traditional franchise systems is the elimination of four costs and restrictions typically associated with franchise agreements.

- Franchise Fee: Zero - Monthly Royalty: Zero - Non-Compete Obligation: Zero - Penalty: Zero

The premise for owners to retain profits is to minimize costs imposed by the headquarters.

This model is designed with this principle at its core and encourages operations that prioritize returns to on-site staff.

It fundamentally differs from traditional franchise models in that owners are not bound by contracts after becoming independent, allowing for autonomous store management.

Specialized Areas of the Three Brands and Salon Overviews

Each brand clearly defines its treatment categories, designed for specialized openings in specific fields.

- First: "Kate Stage Lash" – A specialized salon focusing on eyelash perms and eyebrow treatments.

- Second: "Vision Improvement Eye Care Salon" – A specialized salon for eye care combining eye strain relief and EMS.

- Third: "Men's Rule" – A one-stop beauty salon centered on men's eyebrows.

Specialization facilitates standardization of techniques and enhances operational reproducibility.

These fields were selected as areas that are easy for owners without prior store opening experience to engage with.

"The Difference Between Knowing and Not Knowing" – A Practical Community Bridging Information Gaps in Store Openings

President Takeshi Shigetomo is a practitioner who has handled over 1,000 store leasing operations and understands the realities of opening costs, contract terms, and location selection through his experience with lease agreements.

Based on the belief that the success of a business launch hinges on knowledge rather than talent differences, the club operates as a three-party community where aspiring entrepreneurs, existing owners, and specialists gather.

The business launch support model is built upon the practical knowledge of this community, providing an environment where cross-sectional know-how sharing within the club can continue after participation.

Comment from President Takeshi Shigetomo

Continuing to pay monthly franchise fees and royalties while receiving diminishing support, and remaining bound by contracts – this structure has unnecessarily raised the barriers to independent business launches.

This model has eliminated all such restrictions. Without a design centered on allowing owners to retain profits, it cannot be called business launch support.

With the launch of the third brand, "Men's Rule," the three-brand system is now complete, offering a wider range of business options.
