Revolutionizing M&A Matching: The Launch of Many for Buyers

Meeting the Needs of Buyers in M&A: The Launch of "Many"

On August 25, 2025, Sirbe, a Tokyo-based company led by CEO Yuki Sugisawa, unveiled "Many for Buyers," a groundbreaking service that connects companies looking to acquire businesses with the opportunities they seek. This platform allows buyer companies to register their acquisition criteria anonymously, enabling M&A brokerage firms to directly present matched opportunities. The system is entirely free for buyers, marking a significant shift from the traditional reliance on brokers' introductions.

Addressing the Information Gap

In the conventional M&A landscape, buyer companies usually receive deal proposals through direct mail, cold calls, or emails from brokerage firms. However, many potential deals are often tied to exclusive contracts with specific brokers. Consequently, buyers face significant information gaps, leading to missed opportunities. Furthermore, brokers and sellers too suffer as deals that could have been successful fall through due to lack of connection with interested buyers.

Overview of "Many for Buyers"

"Many for Buyers" revolutionizes M&A by enabling prospective buyers to submit their requirements anonymously and receive direct offers from multiple brokers. This innovative matching platform boasts several key features:
1. Free Access for Buyers: Companies can use the platform free of charge, from posting their acquisition criteria to finalizing a match.
2. Gradual Disclosure: Buyer details are only revealed post-matching, maintaining anonymity until an agreement is reached.
3. Comparative Offers: Buyers can evaluate offers received from several brokers and opt for the most appealing proposal.
4. Performance-Based Broker Fees: Brokers only pay a fee of 50,000 yen upon successful matching, making this system vastly more cost-effective compared to traditional lead generation methods.

Key Features of the Service

For Buyers

- Safe and Anonymous Registration: Buyers can confidently utilize the platform without exposing their identity during the offer collection phase.
- No Cost Incurred: The entire process up to the matching stage is free, although individual agreements with brokers may incur standard fees.

For Brokers

- Direct Access to Hot Leads: Brokers gain immediate contact with companies actively seeking acquisitions, enhancing their client acquisition efforts.
- Cost Efficiency: Where traditional lead generation could cost brokers tens of thousands of yen per lead, "Many" offers this service for a flat fee of 50,000 yen.
- Reducing Market Opportunity Loss: By facilitating new connections between buyers and brokers, the service aims to increase the overall closure rates in M&A transactions.

Future Prospects

The launch of "Many for Buyers" signifies a major evolution in the M&A sector, fostering efficient and transparent connections between brokerage firms and buyers. As it aims to eliminate systemic information gaps in the M&A industry, the service is also projected to enhance the success rates of transactions. The goal is to cultivate an environment where small and medium-sized enterprises feel secure and confident in exploring M&A opportunities.
