Safety Innovation Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Manabu Tojo), which operates "Biz Hoshou," a rent debt guarantee service specializing in commercial real estate, and "Chiikibo Office," a property information site specializing in small offices, announces its simultaneous exhibition at "Local Government & Public Week 2026 (9th Regional Revitalization EXPO)" to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from May 13th (Wednesday) to 15th (Friday), 2026, and "4th Regional x Tech Kyushu" to be held at Hakata International Exhibition & Conference Center from May 14th (Thursday) to 15th (Friday).

Background of Exhibition: A Public-Private Partnership Model that Solves Startup Shortage and Vacancy Increase Simultaneously
Currently, "startup support" is a crucial pillar for regional revitalization in many local governments. While many local governments focus on supporting business plan creation and subsidy applications using regional future grants, small businesses and sole proprietors with limited track records often face difficulties securing offices due to insufficient credit assessment materials, leading many to abandon their startup plans. In reality, many subsidies and bank loans cannot even be applied for without "office confirmation (landlord's approval)" even before a contract is signed.
Our company addresses these social issues of "startup shortage" and "increase in vacant properties" by collaborating with "real estate agents" who have local property information and networks, and "local governments" that support entrepreneurs. As a private company capable of business evaluation, we are working to solve these issues from the perspective of rent guarantees.
In conjunction with the "Corporate Value Collateral Rights" to be enforced in May 2026, we will launch the 'Startup Support Platform,' which integrates "securing locations through Chiikibo Office" and "credit enhancement through Biz Hoshou." This will create an environment where businesses in their startup and growth phases can smoothly start and continue their operations, contributing to the creation of new "jobs" and vibrant "towns" in the region.
Committed to Startup Support and Regional Revitalization. Creating a New Market and Aiming to be "Japan's No. 1" in Commercial Rent Guarantees from a Unique Position in the Rent Guarantee Industry
Rent guarantees are broadly divided into "residential" and "commercial." The residential rent guarantee market is already a mature and saturated market, dominated by major guarantee companies and credit card-affiliated firms, with service penetration reaching a certain level. On the other hand, in the commercial real estate sector, particularly in the area of credit enhancement and property securing for startups and small businesses, a sufficient system has yet to be established. Our company has ventured into this undeveloped area, creating a new market by providing integrated credit enhancement and property securing.
Based on the "property information" held by local real estate agents, we are committed to startup support that connects the "challenges" of startup businesses with the "peace of mind" of building owners, providing unique value to the social issue of regional economic revitalization. We aim to contribute to solving social issues and become "Japan's No. 1" in the commercial rent guarantee sector.
Features of the "Business Base Securing / Occupancy Promotion Service" Proposed at This Exhibition
At our booth, we will present the following solutions for "sustainable regional development" in collaboration with local governments.
1. Matching specializing in small properties and expansion to Kyushu (Fukuoka) area
We utilize "Chiikibo Office," a property information site abundantly stocked with small offices, which are in highest demand among businesses in their startup and growth phases. This site adopts a unique collaboration scheme where local real estate agents can list property information "completely free of charge" on the condition that they join Biz Hoshou as an agent. This reduces the leasing burden on real estate agents while providing a wide range of options to businesses.
Furthermore, we have newly added Kyushu (Fukuoka) to the service's coverage area. This allows for speedy matching of properties of optimal size from popular major office areas in an even wider range of regions, shortening the lead time until business commencement and supporting early establishment in the region. In October 2026, we also plan to release "Chiikibo Tenpo," a new service specializing in small commercial properties such as restaurants and retail, thereby promoting startup support across a wide range of industries.

2. Smooth business base securing with "credit enhancement" by Biz Hoshou
"Biz Hoshou," our commercial real estate specialized rent guarantee service, appropriately screens and evaluates credit, supplementing the creditworthiness of businesses in their early startup phase, which often lack a track record, thereby overcoming the biggest hurdle of "tenant screening." By alleviating the concerns of landlords (owners) and creating an environment where they can confidently provide properties, we strongly support regional challenges.
