[Case Study] Break Co., Ltd. Accelerates Vacation Rental Investment with 'BRO-ZERO', Achieving Sales of 200 Million Yen (Double YoY)! Conserving Own Funds for Business Expansion

Break Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; Representative Director: Ryota Yoshioka) announces that it has achieved sales of 200 million yen, double the growth compared to the previous year, in its vacation rental business by utilizing the zero-initial-cost equipment implementation service 'BRO-ZERO'.

Background of Implementation: Challenges in Financing for Expanding the Vacation Rental Business As Break Co., Ltd. moved forward with its vacation rental business in earnest, it faced the following financing challenges: - Difficulty in financing renovation and furniture/appliance costs: While bank loans were available for property acquisition costs, it tended to be difficult to get loans for renovations, furniture, and appliances. - Risk of decreasing own funds: Costs not covered by bank loans had to be covered by own funds, reducing cash on hand and risking missed opportunities for the next property acquisition. - Hurdles to financing: There was a challenge that it was difficult to pass bank loan screenings during periods of short operational track records or for remote properties.

Reasons for Selecting 'BRO-ZERO': Speed, Flexibility, and the Appeal of Zero Initial Cost To solve these challenges and strategically accelerate business expansion, the company highly evaluated the following points of 'BRO-ZERO' and decided to implement it: - Overwhelming speed: There is no need to wait for a long screening period like a bank loan, maintaining speed from decision-making to execution for property purchases. - High flexibility: It can cover investments in 'sublease projects' that banks tend to shy away from, and 'saunas, furniture, and appliances' where collateral evaluation is difficult to obtain, enabling investment in a variety of properties. - Zero initial implementation cost: Renovations and capital investments can be made while preserving cash on hand, allowing business expansion without squeezing cash flow. * Zero initial implementation cost is a service that allows the equivalent of the initial cost to be paid in installments.

Effects of Implementation: Achieved Sales of 200 Million Yen (Double YoY) and Improved Bank Evaluations Through the use of 'BRO-ZERO', Break Co., Ltd. achieved the following remarkable results: - Dramatic increase in sales: Sales, which were 100 million yen the previous year, doubled to 200 million yen this fiscal year, drastically improving the speed of business expansion. - Conserving own funds and aggressive investment: It became possible to continuously acquire new properties one after another while preserving own funds. - Improving credibility with banks: By expanding the scale of business and accumulating a track record, evaluations from banks also improved, creating a virtuous cycle where subsequent loans proceeded more smoothly.
