A story I want you to pause and consider before closing your store

Nice to meet you.
We are VELETA Inc., a company specializing in the sale and transfer of restaurant and retail store fixtures, primarily in the Nagoya area.

In this note, I will write about what I have seen in the field for those who are
thinking they might close
or
starting to consider relocating, those who are one step away from making that decision.

Are you assuming that "closing down means returning the property to its original skeleton state"?

In many of the cases that come to us for consultation,
we already hear words like these.

"I'm already assuming I'll return it as a skeleton."
"Restoring it to its original condition is the only option, right?"

But in reality,
there are many situations where I think that judgment might have been a little premature
.

The timing for consultation can be much earlier

"I feel bad consulting when nothing has been decided yet."
I am sometimes told this.

However, for store sales and fixture transfers,
organizing your thoughts from the moment you start considering it, rather than acting after you have decided, almost always increases the options for the outcome
.

Before deciding whether to sell or not,
it is meaningful just to lay out your situation once.

What I will write in this note

In this note, I will cover:

・Common misconceptions
・Stories of actual regrets
・Common cases in Nagoya
・Points where it is easy to make the wrong judgment

I will write about these topics from a position that
does not rush the sale.

Finally

Closing or relocating might be called a "failure" by some.

But depending on how you do it, it can also turn into
a satisfying conclusion.

I hope this note will serve as material for you to organize your thoughts for that purpose.
