Creating "Strong Japanese Companies" and Becoming a "World-Class Investment Bank" from the M&A Industry

M&A Capital Partners Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "MACP"; Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President Satoru Nakamura) supports April Dream, a project to make April 1st a day to announce dreams. This press release is MACP's dream.

M&A Capital Partners Celebrates its 20th Anniversary

Since its founding, committed to solving Japan's "business succession problem"

MACP celebrated its 20th anniversary in October 2025. Since its establishment in 2005, it has continuously worked to solve the domestic "business succession problem."

The so-called "2025 problem" predicted that approximately 1.27 million small and medium-sized enterprises would have no successor by 2025. Last year, 2025, passed.

While the need for M&A as a third-party succession method became apparent, with the number of M&A deals involving domestic companies exceeding 5,000 annually in 2025, and M&A, which often had a negative image, gaining public acceptance, the number of business closures due to abandonment of business continuity reached nearly 70,000.

Promoting the Sound Development of the M&A Industry as a Leading Company

Advocating for "Correct M&A" to make M&A more accessible

In recent years, the environment surrounding "M&A" has changed significantly. While the number of "M&A support organizations" increased to over 3,000 due to the emergence of the "business succession problem," there have been successive reports of M&A troubles, including the "malicious buyer problem."

We can feel that the "M&A Support Organization Association," in which MACP also participates as a board member, and the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency have taken the lead in implementing measures to address guidelines and causes of trouble, and these measures are permeating the entire industry.

To solve the "lack of successor problem," it is extremely important to make "M&A" a more familiar presence. As a leading company in the M&A industry, we will advocate for "correct M&A" and promote the sound development of the M&A industry.

From M&A Brokerage to the Next Growth Stage

Becoming an entity that also enhances the corporate value of listed companies and large corporations through M&A

In October 2024, MACP established its IB Coverage Department to provide investment banking services, primarily for large companies of medium to large scale, and to support further growth.

Last year, we successfully completed our first ever TOB (Takeover Bid) case since our founding, and as a financial advisor, we were involved in a symbolic large-scale project.

We will continue to support clients' business growth strategies through assistance with M&A, business restructuring, and privatization of shares for large corporations, which require a high level of expertise.

We will support the growth of companies of all sizes, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations, and contribute to the further development of the Japanese economy.

MACP's Dream: To become the top M&A company in Japan in Japan's tallest building, creating "strong Japanese companies," and evolving from the M&A industry into a "world-class investment bank."

Connecting Japanese companies to the next generation through business succession and growth, contributing to the realization of a "strong Japanese economy."

MACP, looking ahead to further growth, plans to relocate its headquarters in 2029 to "TOKYO TORCH Torch Tower," which is expected to become a new symbol of Tokyo and boast Japan's tallest height.

MACP's logo includes a "torch," which aligns with the symbol of "TOKYO TORCH Torch Tower."

The concept of "TOKYO TORCH Torch Tower," "Connecting thoughts, lighting up the future," also connects with MACP's unchanging commitment to its customers since its founding. Furthermore, its status as Japan's tallest building aligns with MACP's goal of becoming the top M&A company in Japan. We will become the top M&A company in Japan in Japan's tallest building.
