What it sells
Business-succession startup in Hokkaido rolling up franchise headquarters.
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
Owners of franchise headquarters and small businesses with no successor, who sell the business to Creapia (the company itself is the acquirer).
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
No successor, retirement, losses, negative equity or personal guarantees that make the business unsellable on the M&A broker market.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Creapia buys the franchise HQ or SME directly, stabilizes and turns it around, then recycles the proceeds into the next succession; its 'Creapia M&A' service builds up an unattractive business until a buyer appears, with brokerage only on request.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Acquire-and-turnaround roll-up taking on the risk itself; funded by seed equity (third-party allotments from a domestic VC and THE SEED, 2026).
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Inbound consultation windows ('Franchise Succession Organization' trial launched 2026-08-08, 'Creapia M&A'), freelance marketplaces (Coconala, MENTA) and media coverage.
