With our expertise, we help our customers sort out various issues and expedite procedures associated with the establishment of business in Japan.

​

(3) M&A

Entering Japanese market from scratch has become difficult as the market is maturing. Japan, however, is still an attractive market with the 3rd largest economy in the world and relatively stable political environment. Aging of small and medium sized business (SMB) owners provides a great opportunity for M&A. The largest age cohort of SMB owners is 65 to 69 as of 2015, and among them approximately 50% of them do not have their successors. Acceleration of business succession through M&A is now one of the key national agenda of Japan. We provide M&A consulting services including identification of target companies, valuation, due diligence and execution of stock or asset purchase agreement.

​

(4) Operational Support and Post-Merger Integration(PMI)

We can help you successfully implement start-up process of new business or manage acquired business in Japan. Our consulting services cover a wide range of management activities including people management, management accounting, compliance management, public relations, customer development and operational improvement.
