Overview

Zenoku Hoshu (TYO:7164) is mainly engaged in the operation of credit guarantee business. The Company conducts credit guarantee services centered on mortgage guarantees. “A company that guarantees mortgage loans” is an independent guarantee company that does not belong to any affiliated company.

Taking advantage of this feature, the Company has concluded contracts with a number of financial institutions (banks, credit unions, credit unions, agricultural cooperatives, fishermen's cooperatives, labor unions, etc.) and has 13 sales offices mainly in major cities nationwide. In many cases, the mortgage loan amount is tens of millions of yen, and the financial institution should ask for a guarantee of solidarity for those who have the repayment capacity in the unlikely event. However, if a person who becomes a joint guarantor is forced to repay on behalf of the customer, it will be an additional burden for a normal life and the life base will be greatly shaken. By using a mortgage guarantee company such as our company, mortgage borrowing procedures from financial institutions will proceed smoothly, and in the unlikely event that a customer is in trouble, there will be no inconvenience to others Purchase is possible. (Note that even if the Company makes a temporary payment to the financial institution on behalf of the customer (reimbursement), the customer will be repaid by the Company.)1

Apartment Loan Guarantee

Due to the fact that a certain level of repayment funding is secured, we handle preferential treatment of guarantee fees for projects with lump sum contracts by major construction companies. Regarding the effectiveness of leasing (sub-lease * 1 ), there are various opinions due to various issues such as rent revision. However, for a certain period of time, we place emphasis on avoiding vacancy risk, and we recommend ancillary lending contracts.3
Large construction companies and management companies, etc., leasing the target properties together makes it possible to predict rent income with high accuracy from the design stage, so it is possible to propose a reasonable financial plan to the owner.
In addition, regardless of the occupancy status, the owner can receive a fixed amount of rent * 2 from the sub-lease company every month , ensuring stable income and supporting solid real estate rental management.
