Visional Group's M&A Succeed, a corporate-only M&A platform (located in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / President and CEO: Hasumi Kin), has launched the "M&A Initial Offer Acceptance Function" (https://ma-succeed.jp/initial-offer). This function allows owner-managers considering a transfer to pre-set specific conditions and intentions they wish to know in the early stages, along with anonymous company information, and collect them from potential acquiring companies (buyers) at an early stage.
This function is an evolution of the "M&A Trial Matching Function" launched in April 2023. Previously, the challenge was that it only allowed checking the "number (of responses)" of interested potential acquiring companies, making it impossible to ascertain specific conditions or their seriousness. With this function, owner-managers can maintain anonymity while collecting conditions and intentions for transfer from multiple potential acquiring companies. By understanding the initial conditions, they can proceed with negotiation considerations. This innovation aims to revolutionize the M&A negotiation process, supporting the realization of more efficient and satisfactory M&A for both transferring and acquiring companies.
*This function is patented (Patent No. 7807605).
## Challenges and Development Background
In traditional M&A processes, the presentation of specific terms such as concrete amounts and handover conditions from acquiring companies was only available in later stages of negotiations, such as after submitting a Letter of Intent (LOI), which hindered owner-managers from making satisfactory decisions.
Therefore, the "M&A Initial Offer Acceptance Function" was developed to create an opportunity to collect and compare specific conditions and intentions in the early stages before an advisory agreement, which is considered a high psychological hurdle.
