A D2C brand selling Kanazawa gold-leaf crafts and lacquerware to overseas customers, with 65% of revenue from cross-border e-commerce.
Overview
Curated craft e-commerce brand with in-house English content, overseas fulfillment via two 3PLs, and artisan supply agreements in Kanazawa.
Why it scores 3/5 for Business Manager fit
- Profitable with a genuinely international revenue base
- Deductions: only two staff and a small office; immigration reviewers expect visible business substance — plan office space and one hire alongside the capital increase
Points to examine in due diligence
- Platform dependency (one marketplace ≈ 45% of sales)
- Artisan capacity constraints
