Talental Inc. and Agent Inc. Join Forces

On October 20, 2025, Talental Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, officially announced its agreement to transfer a majority of its issued shares to Agent Inc. as part of a strategic move to become a subsidiary of the latter. This significant development marks a pivotal moment for both companies and is set to reshape their operational landscapes.

Overview of the Share Transfer

Talental plans to transfer 195 shares, which corresponds to 65% of its issued stock, to Agent Inc. Following this transfer, Agent Inc. will hold a 65% stake in Talental, while Naoto Takeda, the CEO of Talental, will retain a 35% stake. The financial details concerning the transfer value remain undisclosed. The transaction will officially execute on October 21, 2025.

Purpose of the Acquisition

Talental, under its philosophy of being a catalyst for change, has been providing rental services involving freelance and part-time business development talents since its establishment in September 2024. The company has notably supported numerous SMEs and startups in developing their businesses. Conversely, Agent Inc. has set an ambitious vision to establish 300 social businesses by 2034. This merger is expected to result in a robust combination of Talental's extensive network of BizDev professionals and Agent’s managerial resources and expertise. By pooling these strengths, both companies aim to enhance the value offered to clients and pioneer new business development models.

Future Prospects

With the new subsidiary structure in place, Talental assures that there will be no changes to its trade name or business operations. The existing contracts and services provided to their current clients will remain unaffected. Moving forward, Talental will strive to maintain high-quality service delivery while leveraging the synergies created within the Agent Group. Both companies are eager to explore new business expansion opportunities that this collaboration will afford.
