Consulting ServiceM&AMergers and Acquisitions

We can help through the following stages.

01. Longlist / Shortlist

We can help you build a longlist as well as a shortlist based on Japan’s standard database and interviews.

02. Negotiation

We can join meetings with potential business partners so we can discuss what to do next or report to you on progress. (project management)
We can search potential business partners (eg., banks), but not necessarily introduce them.
We cannot negotiate on behalf of your client as an agent.

03. Due Diligence

Professionals with experience working in strategic management consulting firms will work through the due diligence process for your investment.
We will also provide support in the form of company valuations, using a combination of whichever methods you prefer (EBITDA Multiple, DCF, etc.)
In addition to evaluating and appraising your business plan, we will also create documents that will be of use to you in your negotiations.

04. Post Merger Integration

InProGroup members will work as part of your post-merger integration team, to help drive company growth.
We offer project-based contracts, in which we list out the issues first, as well as an advisory contract, in which we provide adaptive solutions according to your circumstances. Our quick and flexible support mechanisms will bring change from the bottom up.
More detailed goals will be set after a discussion of your current circumstances.
