Acquisition Announcement

The Insurance Restructuring Group, headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is pleased to announce the complete acquisition of ETERNAL Inc., based in Kobe, Hyogo, effective March 31, 2026. This agreement marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the Insurance Restructuring Group, as ETERNAL will now operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Purpose and Background of the Acquisition

The Insurance Restructuring Group is recognized as one of Japan's largest insurance agencies, offering a comprehensive omni-channel experience through shops, call centers, and online platforms. Their primary brand, the “Insurance Restructuring Shop,” has approximately 350 locations across major commercial facilities in Japan, providing customers with access to products from over 40 different insurance companies. Over the years, the group has accumulated invaluable expertise and systems in store management, enabling sustainable growth in the face of Japan's aging population.

In recent times, the focus has shifted towards becoming a supportive partner in navigating the complexities of life in the 100-year era. In addition to insurance consultation, the group has expanded its service offerings to include housing loan shops and caregiving consultation services, showcasing their commitment to addressing a wide range of customer needs.

ETERNAL, on the other hand, specializes in life and non-life insurance as a comprehensive insurance agency. Through its core brand, the “Insurance Terrace,” it emphasizes personalized consulting and quality service. ETERNAL has been dedicated to enhancing its consulting capabilities through robust staff training and an emphasis on service quality. Their unique educational system and knowledge evaluation initiatives ensure that clients can approach them with confidence, alleviating financial anxieties for individuals within their communities.

By joining forces, both companies anticipate a synergistic effect that will strengthen their capabilities in providing high-quality insurance consulting services. ETERNAL’s expertise in human resource development and careful consultancy will combine with the operational know-how and support framework of the Insurance Restructuring Group, ultimately enhancing client satisfaction and security in insurance matters.

Moving Forward
