Launch of Outside COO Service Committed to Execution and Results, Aimed at Companies Managing Two or More Businesses

Tsunagaru Net Co., Ltd., a consulting company specializing in sales growth for food manufacturing, retail distribution, and restaurants (Representative Director Osamu Mori), launched a new "Outside COO" service on April 1, 2026.

Purpose and Background of the Service

In recent years, the issue of business succession has become significant, and as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face an aging workforce, many are forced to close even if they are profitable. Meanwhile, market changes due to fluctuations in global affairs are accelerating.

To adapt to market changes, there is an increasing number of "conglomerate companies" that are acquiring profitable businesses facing business succession issues through M&A, thereby diversifying their management to capture demand broadly rather than narrowly, and creating a second business pillar for risk diversification.

However, there is a significant challenge here: companies that originally underwent business succession M&A often lacked successors, and even if new businesses are established, it takes time to nurture new successors.

In SMEs, the CEO's management skills are crucial, and one CEO managing two or more companies places a heavy burden on them.

Actual CEO voices include:

・ "Started a new business, but it's not progressing as planned."

・ "Working over 14 hours a day."

・ "Want to teach employees, but no time, so people don't grow." etc.

Therefore, leveraging our accumulated know-how in consistently increasing corporate sales, we will act as the CEO's alter ego, entering the field as a business executive responsible for both nurturing next-generation leaders and overseeing business operations.

Future Development

Through the provision of Outside COO Support, Tsunagaru Net Co., Ltd. aims not only to help businesses get on track but also to improve and stabilize internal operations. In the future, the goal is to prevent profitable bankruptcies due to a lack of successors by nurturing talent internally, thereby preserving numerous excellent companies.

Comment from the Person in Charge

Representative Director Osamu Mori

We have supported over 100 businesses in improving sales.

To increase sales, there are only options like market development, entry into new fields, and new businesses.

Especially in recent years, market changes are rapidly fluctuating. Many companies are starting diversified management to create new business pillars.

Outside COO support enables professionals to accelerate businesses that are sluggish due to a lack of human resources, operate management according to plan, and simultaneously provide human resource training through practical work.
