スクラップ＆ビルド Scrap and Build

国道184号線沿いで６０年くらい営業していた近くの喫茶店が閉店し、その建物の取り壊し作業が始まりました。

創業者が亡くなり、後継者が経営継続は困難と判断し、売却がベターと判断したのでしょう。

これまで、起業は人・物・金が3大要素でしたが、現在では、これらに大型店との競争、情報、AIなどの要素も加わります。

また、安部政権以降の政府の円安誘導、そして、現在の中東情勢問題に何ら有効な解決策も示せない現政権下での物価高、資材高も起業を困難にしている大きな要因です。

しかし、いつの時代も困難伴わない起業はあり得ません。助成金に頼らず、それを克服できる人だけが、起業と継続を成功させることができます。

Scrap and Build:

A local coffee shop that had been in business for about 60 years along National Route 184 has closed, and demolition of the building has begun.

The founder passed away, and the successor likely decided that continuing the business would be too difficult and that selling it was the better option.

In the past, the three key elements of starting a business were people, goods, and capital. Today, however, factors such as competition with large chains, information, and AI have been added to the mix.

Furthermore, the Government’s policies to weaken the yen since the Abe administration, as well as rising prices and soaring material costs under the current administration—which has failed to offer any effective solutions to the ongoing Middle East crisis—are major factors making it difficult to start a business.

However, starting a business has always been fraught with challenges. Only those who can overcome these obstacles without relying on subsidies can successfully launch and sustain a business.
