M&A Capital Partners President and Representative Director Satoru Nakamura

We, M&A Capital Partners, are a group of true professionals that provide amicable M&A intermediary services, specialized in small and medium-sized enterprises, by paying close attention and sincerely responding to the resolves of business owners. The number of companies in Japan continues to decline due to the absence of successors and the aging of owner-managers. According to data from a private research firm*, as many as 56,103 companies are forced to close or dissolve their business yearly. Business succession is not only a significant issue that owner-managers cannot avoid. Resolving this issue is also crucial to building a sustainable society in terms of maintaining the growth of the domestic economy and protecting employment.

  • "I want to take the company to the next level of growth and pass the business on to the next generation"
  • "I want to provide our employees with a better, more stable life and opportunities to thrive"
  • "I don't have a successor, but I want to keep the company going to protect employees"

We will pay close attention to owner-managers wishes and accompany them through a seamless M&A process with an optimal partner (buyer). In doing so, we will promote the advancement of the Japanese economy and resolve social issues, thereby contributing to building a sustainable future. *Source: Teikoku Databank, "National Survey of Business Suspension and Dissolution Trends (2020)"

Sustainability Initiatives

SDGs

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are shared goals for the international community to create a more sustainable world. They were adopted at the UN Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015.
There are 17 goals in SDGs.

Fair M&A

Our M&A advisory services provide impartial and fair advice to the seller and buyer companies. We are committed to "fair M&A" that always puts the client's interests first. To realize fair M&A, we strive to bring the parties involved, the seller and the buyer company, to an agreement through sincere, earnest discussions and provide thorough M&A advisory services to help clients reach an agreement in compliance with the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency's "M&A Guidance for SMEs" and our own Code of Conduct.

Materiality (material issues)

We will directly address material issues in our M&A advisory business and contribute to building a sustainable society.

  • SDGs goals No.1
  • SDGs goals No.3
  • SDGs goals No.8
  • SDGs goals No.9
  • SDGs goals No.11
  • SDGs goals No.16
  • SDGs goals No.17

At a Board of Directors meeting held in November 2021, we identified vital sustainability issues (materiality) from an ESG perspective. We will tackle these material issues directly, primarily through our M&A advisory business, and contribute to realizing a sustainable society.

  • SDGs goals No.1
  • SDGs goals No.3

End poverty everywhere and ensure healthy lives for all.

We can contribute to business continuity and maintain stable employment by supporting mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for business succession.

Income, essential for a healthy and cultured life, depends on stable jobs.

By facilitating the M&A of small and medium-sized enterprises, we protect various industries and ensure ongoing employment. Additionally, the mutual benefits created through M&A contribute to the growth and development of both the selling and buying companies.

  • SDGs goals No.9
  • SDGs goals No.11

Establish a foundation for infrastructure and technological innovation while developing sustainable human settlements.
Promote industry growth through synergistic mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and enhance M&A efforts nationwide to bolster local economies.

Through the mutual benefits created by mergers and acquisitions (M&A), buyer and seller companies can expect to expand their sales territories, complement each other's technologies, develop new products, stabilize their financial foundations, and enhance their financing capabilities. By promoting more "fair M&A" transactions based on amicable discussions between the parties involved, we aim to contribute to the advancement of the Japanese economy. Instead of focusing solely on Greater Tokyo, we plan to pursue projects involving small and medium-sized companies supporting regional economies. Our goal is to preserve local businesses and ensure employment for future generations, ultimately contributing to the sustainable growth of these regional economies.

  • SDGs goals No.16

Maintain a robust system of governance structure as one of the industry's leading companies.

To uphold the independence and objectivity of the Board of Directors, we will ensure that it includes an adequate number of outside directors who can effectively oversee management. Additionally, we will enhance the transparency of the Board's decision-making processes to promote appropriate and efficient business execution.

  • SDGs goals No.17

Collaborate in partnership to achieve shared goals. Fulfill social responsibilities by cooperating with government agencies and contribute to sustainability by facilitating business succession.

To help prevent the closure or dissolution of approximately 600,000 profitable businesses by 2025, a goal established by the SME Agency, we are committed to supporting business succession through mergers and acquisitions (M&A). We will actively collaborate with government initiatives, as we did when developing M&A Guidelines for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, in partnership with four other listed M&A intermediaries, we founded the M&A Intermediaries Association. Through our collaboration with industry peers, including the association's co-founders, we aim to contribute to the healthy development of the M&A intermediary industry as a whole.

ESG Management Strategies

We aspire to be the world's leading investment bank, seeking maximum contributions to clients and striving for the happiness of all employees.

ESG Initiatives

To align with our management philosophy stated above, we must pursue sustainability through consideration for the environment, contribution to society, and optimal governance. Based on this philosophy, we have established and implemented basic ESG policies to remain an indispensable company to society.

Environment

We will comply with environmental laws and regulations and support initiatives to reduce climate change risks through decarbonization and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

Social

Through our M&A advisory business, we aim to strengthen the sustainability of Japanese society by addressing the pressing need for successors in small and medium-sized companies that play a critical role in the Japanese economy. Our mission is to facilitate as many amicable M&A deals as possible, thereby protecting employee jobs in financially stable environments and preserving the value created by various companies' technologies. Our goals include resolving social issues and maximizing social value.
Additionally, to promote "fair M&A," we are committed to maintaining a workplace that allows talented individuals to work safely and confidently. We focus on fostering high levels of employee engagement by supporting personal growth and self-realization.

Governance

As a company trusted by stakeholders, we will strive to increase corporate value stably and sustainably and ensure management transparency from an external perspective. Further, we will reinforce compliance and risk management to maintain a robust corporate structure.
