Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo: Comprehensive Business Succession Support Program – Equipment Investment Subsidy for Small Enterprises (FY2026)

This is a subsidy program by Bunkyo Ward targeting small-scale business owners to support equipment investment during business succession. It promotes smooth generational transition and business continuity by subsidizing costs for equipment purchases that improve management efficiency and productivity accompanying succession. Small-scale enterprises operating in Bunkyo Ward are eligible (20 or fewer employees in manufacturing; 5 or fewer in commerce and services). The subsidy covers a portion of equipment investment expenses, with the maximum subsidy amount and subsidy rate determined according to individual requirements. Development of a business succession plan and its implementation are mandatory conditions, and approval from Bunkyo Ward is required. Since the recruitment period for fiscal 2026 is limited, early consultation and application preparation are essential.
