Dominate Japan Through M&A Target Scouting

Transforming Corporate Strategy with M&A Strategies

  • Currently, 70% of Japan's asset management firms are looking to increase their portfolios by at least 5%. Tapping into M&A strategies offer a pathway for this growth.
  • Integrating M&A services can unlock pathways to robust business expansion, navigating a dynamic market landscape and steering through economic challenges effectively.

Accessing Global Business Insights for Competitive Edges

  • With a rise of 30% in overseas M&A deals by Japanese firms, global business insights via M&A scouting can enhance competitive edge by understanding diverse market needs.
  • Achieving a holistic understanding of international markets through M&A insights equips Japanese firms to strategically position themselves to better serve evolving consumer preferences.

Expanding Market Reach through Strategic Collaborations

  • As only 40% of Japanese small and medium enterprises engage in M&A activities, increasing their involvement positions them to expand market presence and amplify brand impact.
  • Capitalizing on strategic collaborations paves the way for organically growing market reach while benefitting from widened networking and resource exchange.

Achieving Sustained Growth in Evolving Marketscape

  • Japan's GDP growth sees moderate forecasts at 1.4%, pointing to the need for sustained corporate growth through diversification pronounced via M&A engagements.
  • With varied opportunities aligned with market transformations, engaging in M&A can facilitate sustained business development amidst shifting economic landscapes.

What Our Clients Say About Us

"During the course of the process, I found YCP Solidiance highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP Solidiance brought us “real market experience”. YCP Solidiance's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me. This approach enabled me to understand critical consumer insights behind data. I found it very valuable experience. Thank you very much."
