To our investors
Funai Research Institute Group's M&A Strategy & A

Further accelerated growth through M&A
We will maximize corporate value.
Organic Growth and Key Initiatives (①)Mid-market leadersWe combine our consulting services (① DX consulting, ③ M&A consulting) with "strategic M&A" to commit to maximizing shareholder value in the medium to long term.
01Strategic positioning of M&A: Leveraging a strong asset: "customer base"
The Funai Research Institute Group's greatest asset is its "active customer base of approximately 8,000 companies," which is one of the largest in Japan.
We offer consulting services centered on monthly retainer agreements, as well as industry-specific and theme-based management services.Management workshopsThrough this, we are building long-term and deep relationships of trust with the managers of medium-sized and small businesses.
By cross-selling the services and solutions of companies acquired through M&A to these existing customers, we can achieve immediate sales growth.
Our strengths lie in our ability to offer investors "low customer acquisition costs and a high probability of creating synergies," and in enabling executives who join us to achieve "top-line growth from the moment they join."
02PMI Policy: Value creation through "growth support" rather than cost reduction.
While post-merger integration (PMI) in typical M&A deals often focuses on generating profits through enhanced management and cost reduction, the Funai Research Institute Group's approach is different. It prioritizes mutual growth while respecting the autonomy of the companies joining the group.
This "people-centered PMI" is the driver that enhances employee and management engagement and generates stable profits in the medium to long term.
03Implementation structure: A strong, tripartite promotion system
Regarding the "certainty of execution," our company has established a "strong tripartite promotion system" in which the following three functions work closely together, thereby increasing the likelihood of success in M&A.
This organizational structure will enable us to make sound investment decisions based on expert knowledge, achieve rapid value creation after acquisitions, and maximize investment efficiency.

04Priority target areas
We will focus on and make carefully selected investments in "consulting and related areas (corporate services)" that we expect to have synergies with our core business and expand the scope of our group.

05Partnerships with intermediary companies and advisors
We consider M&A brokerage firms and financial advisors (FAs) to be important partners in our growth strategy.
Leveraging our expertise as an "industry-specific consulting firm" with over 180 industry-specific specialists, we quickly and accurately assess the business value and potential synergies of target companies, even at the sourcing stage (non-named). As a prime listed company, we promise to strongly support the building of a trusting relationship between you and the seller through our robust governance and honest approach.
