Integrity and Kiraboshi Consulting Join Forces to Support SMEs

In an ambitious move to enhance consulting services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Integrity Inc. and Kiraboshi Consulting have announced a strategic partnership aimed at helping these businesses achieve their goal of 10 billion yen in revenue. This initiative is particularly focused on those willing to utilize government-led programs like the "100 Billion Declaration" and the "SME Growth Acceleration Grant," which offer a multifaceted approach to support for growth.

The Background of the Initiative

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, along with the Small and Medium Enterprises Agency, has introduced the "100 Billion Declaration" as part of a new growth support measure. This initiative is designed to encourage SMEs with revenues between 1 billion and 10 billion yen to set their sights on reaching the prestigious milestone of 10 billion yen.

Participating companies benefit from various forms of support, including the SME Growth Acceleration Grant and opportunities to join management networks. However, effectively leveraging these benefits requires advanced management skills and resources to craft meticulous strategies, ambitious investment plans, and compile complex application documents. Many SMEs currently express anxiety about their ability to tackle these challenges independently.

In response to these issues, Integrity and Kiraboshi Consulting have united their expertise and proven track records to create a robust support system for SMEs aiming for 10 billion yen in revenue. The collaboration focuses particularly on companies lacking experience in formulating growth strategies or navigating grant systems, providing comprehensive support to turn high aspirations into tangible results.

The Alliance Between Integrity and Kiraboshi Consulting

This strategic alliance was formalized in February 2024, initially targeting enhanced management support for start-up businesses. However, it has since evolved to include a wide range of companies in various stages of growth.

CEO Insights

Tomofumi Nishiyama, the CEO of Integrity, remarked:

"Aiming for the prestigious goal of 10 billion yen is not merely about numbers; it signifies a commitment to creating and returning value to society. This journey demands high-resolution strategy, the ability to drive strategy forward, and at times, bold decision-making. Our deepened alliance with Kiraboshi Consulting will enable us to be the supportive partners in these challenges, providing extensive support from strategy formulation to fundraising and execution. We are dedicated to ensuring that ambitious SMEs can leverage their full potential to effect societal change."
