Buying a Business Series: Tough Luck with the Tama Coin Laundry

This week, Joey and Take are joined again by Ryan Kubozono, the rep for AkiyaMart in Japan, for another installment in the coin laundry saga. Despite initial optimism and extensive planning, the deal just didn't work out. After months of waiting due to complications with the landlord , they finally heard back and the answer wasn't ideal. The team reflects on the challenges faced, lessons learned, and their strategy moving forward, including the importance of  building relationships with intermediaries and possibly exploring other unmanned business opportunities.
