From the representative
Once you know how to read them, your shop's numbers become an ally in your everyday work. Even without proper books, we can start from your receipts and bankbook. Feel free to drop by.
Why this place supports social causes
When one shop on a shopping street closes, one more light on that street goes out. I want to find a way that works for each shop together with its owner, so they can keep their doors open. Once a month, I go along to a meeting of the shopping street and talk about how to read a shop's numbers.
From the place
Because we're a consulting office that helps the small shops on our shopping streets find a way to carry on and keep their doors open.
What sets the office apart
Your sales, mapped on a single sheet
We hand you a single sheet showing which products, which days of the week and which customers your sales come from.
Narrowed down to three things to do
Even if there's a lot you'd like to fix, we narrow what you'll do over the next month down to three things at most.
Advice without closing your shop
We offer evening consultations after closing time, and visits to your shop. There's no call-out fee within Takamatsu.

Background
Manabe spent 13 years at a shinkin bank in Takamatsu, handling loans to shops on the shopping streets. A sense that it would help to have someone to think things through with before any money is lent is what led to opening this consulting office.
Highlights
At the first consultation, we go through your books together and put on a single sheet which products, which days of the week and which customers your sales come from. We avoid jargon and talk in your shop's own words.
Examples of our work
Reworking a wagashi shop's daily preparation on the shopping street to match its best-selling days and products A subsidy application for a hair salon to introduce online booking The steps for handing a café on to a long-serving member of staff
