■ Background: The "Wall to Opening" Created by the Gap Between Reality and Image
Currently, poker as a mind sport and clean, non-gambling mahjong parlor operations are gaining popularity. However, in the real estate industry, old preconceptions remain strong, and aspiring business owners are constantly forced to abandon their plans due to unreasonable reasons such as those below.
・The "Wall of Prejudice" from Owners and Management Companies
Even with plans for legal, clean, and sound store operations, some old, opaque images lead to confusion and misunderstanding with gambling, resulting in outright rejection before the content is thoroughly reviewed.
・The "Wall of Formality" from Rental Guarantee Companies
Despite sufficient cash flow and payment ability, applications are uniformly risk-assessed and rejected based solely on industry preconceptions like "being a sole proprietor" or "unstable income similar to the nightlife business."
To resolve such opportunity losses caused by the failure to correctly evaluate the reality, our company, backed by its credibility as a "specialized real estate company for poker and mahjong parlors," conducts re-negotiations on behalf of business owners to achieve fair evaluations.
■ Acepoint's Approach to Overcoming Screening
The biggest feature is our unique contract scheme, where our company acts as a "shield" for customers to break through screening barriers.
1. Our company becomes the direct contracting party, physically separating owner concerns.
For properties previously rejected due to the business type "poker/mahjong parlor" or "personal credit," our real estate company becomes the direct borrower (contracting party). Since the property owner's contracting partner is our company (Acepoint), preconceptions about the business type and concerns about payment are physically blocked. This allows negotiations to proceed on a clean slate, enabling entry.
2. Providing security through a sub-leasing scheme.
We lease the property from the owner and then sub-lease it to the customer. This provides property owners with an extremely high sense of security, knowing that a corporation with specialized knowledge is managing the store. For customers (aspiring business owners), this enables them to open in ideal locations that were previously inaccessible, backed by our company's credibility.
3. Flexible "Guarantee Company Screening" and response based on our own unique screening criteria.
By our company becoming the contracting party, it is possible to significantly lower the hurdle of guarantee screening, which was difficult for individuals to pass. Since our company is not tied to specific guarantee companies, we have the flexibility to select the optimal screening route for each property. Furthermore, by combining our corporate credit and unique screening criteria, we can construct flexible contract forms depending on the situation. We strongly support business owners who "have payment ability but do not fit into existing screening frameworks" from a practical perspective.
"Good properties, but not even given a chance to talk."
We don't just end the absurdity of such an industry with "verbal negotiations." By taking on risks as a party to the contract and acting as a shield for our customers, we support the development of a clean and healthy amusement culture.
