Japanese small and medium enterprises unable to survive economic downturns and manage cash flow crises

Over 5,000 Japanese companies filed for bankruptcy in just six months, indicating a severe crisis where businesses lack adequate financial management tools, access to emergency capital, or restructuring support to weather economic shocks. Current solutions fail because traditional bank lending is slow, expensive, and inaccessible to struggling SMEs, while existing financial advisory services are too costly for small businesses facing immediate insolvency.
