How We are Different
19. ü Patent Granted for the
system – no rivals
ü Once popular, platform
will be1st choice to local
businesses - traditional
local banks and local
funds don’t have enough
scalability
21. NG to
reveal his
name
Mr. Arai, President of
a local business mall
“Good business
scheme. Once get
popular, everyone like
us (biz owners) will use
it.”
A board member at
a local bank
Mr. Nozaki, Owner
of cleaning services
“It was very handy
and useful - we did
not even need to
install an app. I felt we
need to follow new
services like this.”
“We cannot watch all
the local businesses in
our area, and I think
we lack skills of
business evaluation.
Machi-Coin is a
needed biz all over
Japan.”
