■Background of the Release of “RelifePass”

RelifePass was born out of the desire to introduce a new way of working, “franchise business ownership”, as one of the means of independence to individuals who are considering entrepreneurship and thinking, “I want to leverage my skills to become independent” or “I want to start something on my own”.

When opening a store independently, individuals are required to handle various aspects of business management, such as procurement, customer service, advertising, and more, by themselves. Learning the know-how of entrepreneurship from scratch and creating products or merchandise for the business can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. On the other hand, starting a business through franchising, agency, outsourcing, and similar avenues begins with the advantage of having various assets and merchandise related to business management already prepared. With the provision of know-how and business guidance from the parent company, even individuals with no prior entrepreneurship experience can start with lower risk. The feature and allure lie in the fact that even those who had given up on entrepreneurship due to lack of experience can now take on the challenge, thanks to the mechanism that allows “starting a business even without prior experience.”

Traditionally, when aspiring to start a business independently, individuals had to search for the suitable independent form or industry that aligned with their strengths and desired way of working. However, with RelifePass, companies can directly send offers to registrants based on their profiles. This pioneering matching model reduces the effort required for information gathering on the part of those considering independent entrepreneurship. It also allows companies to approach experienced individuals and target specific areas for expanding their business. This results in a more efficient and less mismatched path towards independent entrepreneurship for both parties involved. RelifePass aims to propose these new forms of independent entrepreneurship and new ways of working, supporting the creation of opportunities for more people to take their first steps towards a new career.
