Japan regional chambers host business succession seminars
Various regional chambers of commerce and support centers in Japan are organizing seminars to assist small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners with business succession planning.
In Hatsukaichi, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will host a seminar on November 4, 2026, featuring consultant Teruyuki Ishii. The session will analyze five real-world cases, covering common pitfalls such as delayed decision-making and lack of communication with relatives.
The Hachioji Chamber of Commerce and Industry has scheduled a seminar for December 15, 2026, at Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe. This event will utilize a 'succession notebook' to help owners visualize their company's future and will include input from the Japan Finance Corporation.
In Kyoto, the Kyoto Prefecture Business Succession and Handover Support Center will hold a seminar on October 22, 2026. This program focuses on helping owners identify intangible assets—such as technical expertise, customer trust, and local networks—that do not appear on financial statements, ensuring these values are communicated to future successors or buyers.
