VSG, one of Japan's largest professional services groups with 61 locations and 1,700 employees, Venture Support Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Shinichiro Nakamura), has established "VSG M&A Advisory Inc." in May 2026 as a new service line of VSG (Venture Support Group) to provide M&A support.
VSG M&A Advisory Inc. offers advisory services to companies considering M&A, taking the side of either the seller or the buyer. For companies considering selling, it acts as a seller's advisor, and for companies considering acquisition, it acts as a buyer's advisor, supporting the execution of M&A tailored to the client's situation and objectives.
VSG, as a comprehensive professional services group where experts in taxation, legal affairs, labor, real estate, insurance, and finance collaborate, has supported many business owners' decision-making processes. At VSG M&A Advisory Inc., which has been newly established, we will also prioritize support that allows clients to make decisions with confidence, rather than solely aiming for M&A deal closure.
## Background of New Company Establishment
In recent years, the importance of business succession M&A has been increasing due to the lack of successors among small and medium-sized enterprises and the aging of business owners. In addition, more companies are considering M&A as part of their growth strategy to expand existing businesses, enter new businesses, and acquire human resources, technology, and customer bases.
On the other hand, M&A is an important decision that significantly affects the future of a company. It is necessary to carefully assess a wide range of issues, including not only the transfer price but also employee employment, relationships with business partners, financial, tax, legal, and labor risks, and post-acquisition integration policies.
VSG aims to contribute to creating an environment where business owners can make informed decisions by providing M&A support from the perspective of either the seller or the buyer in such critical situations.
## Basic Policy of VSG M&A Advisory Inc.
1. Support from the perspective of the seller or the buyer
VSG M&A Advisory Inc. provides M&A support tailored to the respective positions, acting as an advisor to the seller for companies considering selling and as an advisor to the buyer for companies considering acquisition.
We aim for M&A that allows clients to make decisions with confidence through the organization of prices and conditions, negotiation with counterparts, risk confirmation, and decision-making support.
2. Support the best choice, not "deal closure first"
M&A is not always about achieving a deal.
VSG M&A Advisory Inc. considers options other than M&A and decisions to forego a deal, supporting clients in making decisions with a sense of satisfaction.
3. Utilize VSG's network of experts
M&A involves a wide range of specialized areas, including not only stock valuation and partner search but also taxation, legal affairs, labor, real estate, insurance, asset succession, and consideration of acquisition funds.
For sellers, inheritance measures after receiving transfer consideration and smooth asset succession to family members are also important themes. For buyers, many practical issues arise before and after M&A execution, such as considering acquisition funds, dealing with financial institutions, and establishing post-acquisition management systems.
VSG M&A Advisory Inc. will collaborate with experts in taxation, legal affairs, labor, real estate, insurance, and finance within the group to comprehensively support business owners' decision-making from the M&A consideration stage to post-execution.
## M&A Support Aimed by VSG
VSG has supported business owners in various situations, including company establishment, taxation, legal affairs, labor, inheritance, and business succession.
M&A is not just about matching; it is an important decision related to the company's future, employee employment, and the business owner's aspirations. VSG M&A Advisory Inc. will clarify whose side it supports and provide M&A support that allows clients to make decisions with confidence.
## Future Outlook
VSG M&A Advisory Inc. will first establish a consultation system for business succession, growth strategy, group restructuring, lack of successors, business sale, and acquisition strategy, mainly for existing VSG clients.
Going forward, in collaboration with experts in taxation, legal affairs, labor, and real estate, we will successively develop services that support corporate growth and succession, such as seller-side FA, buyer-side FA, business succession support, and post-M&A integration support.
Under the common philosophy that "professional services are service industries," VSG aims to realize M&A support that is easy for business owners to consult with and allows them to make decisions with confidence.
