Introducing MANy: A New Platform to Transform M&A Matchmaking for Businesses

MANy: Revolutionizing M&A Matchmaking in Japan

On April 28, 2025, Sirbe Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato City, Tokyo, officially launched a groundbreaking matching platform named MANy, designed to connect businesses exploring mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with brokerage firms. This innovative service allows small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to anonymously express their concerns and inquiries regarding M&A, enabling brokerage companies to respond with tailored advice. By addressing the information gap in the selection process of brokerage firms, MANy aims to foster a more secure and confident environment for pursuing M&A opportunities.

The Background Behind Development

As the domestic M&A market continues to expand year by year, the number of brokerage firms has also surged. This growth has led to an alarming rise in cases of mismatching, resulting in complications for companies that are seeking M&A advice. MANy was developed with the intention of helping SMEs find suitable brokers confidently, mitigating the risks associated with poor selection.

Key Features of MANy

MANy offers a unique blend of features that sets it apart in the M&A landscape, structured around four main pillars:

1. Anonymous Posting: Businesses can raise their M&A concerns without revealing their company name, ensuring privacy as they seek advice from brokers.
2. Completely Free Service: Companies considering M&A are exempt from any fees, making it accessible to all.
3. Opportunity to Compare Offers: Users can assess proposals from various brokerage firms, empowering them to choose the most suitable partner.
4. Integrated Chat Functionality: The platform facilitates direct communication for advice exchange and inquiries, simplifying the interaction process.

Registering on MANy is straightforward. Companies with questions or concerns about M&A are encouraged to sign up. We also invite brokerage firms to join as advisors to help assuage the anxieties of businesses navigating M&A. Note that brokerage firms will undergo a standard review process for registration.

Future Outlook

Looking forward, MANy aims to continually evolve as a platform where SMEs and brokerage firms can meet in a secure and supportive environment. The company intends to enhance functionalities and generate case study content, contributing to the sustainable growth of the M&A market.
