Business Details

Operates 98 disability welfare service offices centered on the greater Tokyo metropolitan area. Provides After-School Day Service / Child Development Support, Communal Living Support (Group Home), Type B Continuous Employment Support, Daily Life Care, consultation support, and other services under a public-funding-dependent business model. Service fees are received from the National Federation of Health Insurance Societies and from users. Also operates ancillary businesses such as License / Trademark Licensing / Management Services. Six consolidated subsidiaries—SL Company, Terrace World, RAISE, CONFEL, Papageno, and A Next Works—handle the operations.

Recent Overview

Opened one new Type B Continuous Employment Support office and achieved higher revenue and profit through improved utilization rates driven by DX promotion.

In May 2026, one Type B Continuous Employment Support office was newly opened in Tokyo, bringing the number of offices at the end of the interim period to 98. At existing offices, operational efficiency was optimized through user acquisition, improved utilization rates, and enhanced use of the generative AI tool "AI Shien-san" to promote DX. As a result, the company achieved revenue of ¥1,974 million (up 8.0% year on year) and operating profit of ¥119 million (up 14.1% year on year), representing growth in both revenue and profit. The number of disability welfare service users continued to expand, reaching 1.761 million as of January 2026 (up 6.1% year on year).

  • Regulatory change risk such as revisions to disability welfare service compensation (public-funding-dependent business model)
  • Future impairment risk associated with the goodwill balance of ¥285 million
  • Increased capital expenditure and financial burden from new office openings involving real estate acquisition
  • Increasing difficulty in maintaining management systems and operational quality due to geographic dispersion of offices
