Speaker Introduction

Kazunori Morinaga, Head of Corporate Information Department, M&A Navigator Co., Ltd.

Specializes in supporting 'small-scale M&A' for companies with annual revenues of ¥100 million to ¥500 million and around 10 employees. Has supported over 100 companies cumulatively and has been directly involved in more than ten successful transactions.

Consistently addresses issues unique to small businesses—from financial statement preparation and identifying buyer compatibility to post-transfer employee considerations. Excels in supporting clients from the early 'soundboarding' stage, even before they decide to sell.

Background of the Seminar

'We’re a small company—will anyone even want to buy us?'—

We’ve heard this question countless times from owner-managers of companies with annual revenues in the hundreds of millions of yen.

The truth is, it’s not uncommon for even one-person-led companies to find buyers.

However, in practice, companies of similar size and performance clearly fall into two categories: those that smoothly attract buyers and those whose deals stall mid-process despite being profitable.

This difference isn’t due to luck or industry—it’s largely determined by 'how well-prepared the business is in advance.'

These are the three key factors we’ve repeatedly observed in the field.

In this 30-minute seminar, a practicing advisor specializing in small-scale M&A (annual revenue ¥100–500 million, ~10 employees) will clarify these three critical factors and how to prepare for them.

We welcome those who haven’t yet decided to sell or are still in the information-gathering phase.

In fact, this is exactly the stage at which knowing these insights is most valuable.
