Funai Consulting Agata FAS Launches a Specialized Due Diligence Site

Funai Consulting Agata FAS, based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, has officially revealed its dedicated site for industry-specific business due diligence (DD). This initiative aims to support companies and investors in making informed decisions during M&A transactions by leveraging profound industry insights that have been cultivated over more than 50 years in assisting 200 different industries.

Overview of the New Due Diligence Service

The newly launched website (https://lp.fa-fas.co.jp/dd/) provides a comprehensive overview of how the business DD will function, the target audience, and pricing structures. Unlike traditional DD processes that primarily focus on verifying financial and legal aspects against the average standards of an industry, Funai Consulting distinguishes itself by analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs), thus allowing for a clear assessment of a target company’s profitability.

The process begins before any formal agreement, typically spanning 1 to 2 months, and is structured in six steps: inquiry reception, signing an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), sharing a company overview document (IM), submitting proposals and estimates, signing contracts, and finally starting the DD.

Highlights of the Service

Through this specialized DD service, clients can expect:

• - Evaluation Against Industry Success KPIs: This aspect allows clients to rationally articulate why a target company is a worthy acquisition based on quantifiable numbers and logical reasoning.
• - Identification of Critical Risk Factors: The assessments will not only rely on superficial financial data but will delve into identifying unavoidable pitfalls and red flags that could indicate high-risk acquisitions.
• - Growth Scenarios Development: Funai’s industry specialists continue their involvement beyond the DD phase, offering post-acquisition integration support (PMI), ensuring a seamless transition.

The Need for Industry Knowledge in Due Diligence

In the current landscape where M&A is garnering popularity as a strategy for growth and succession, accurately determining the genuine capabilities of a target company poses a considerable challenge. Conventional approaches often stop at comparing firms to industry averages, neglecting unique strategies and triggers that define success or failure within specific sectors. Misjudgment along these lines can lead to inflated valuations and unexpected hurdles post-acquisition.

By summing up their extensive knowledge of various industries, Funai Consulting Agata FAS is committed to executing a more detailed and insightful DD approach, reflected in the launch of their new dedicated site.

Service Details and Support

The new site not only offers details on how the industry-specific business DD is conducted but also outlines its advantages. The target audience includes acquiring companies in M&A, investment funds, financial institutions, and corporate investment departments. The executed projects vary in scope, with costs assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on the client's requirements such as the size, industry, and duration of the DD process.

For example, a recent project involving a healthcare provider combined various aspects of DD— financial, tax, labor, and business— and integrated insights from Funai’s industry consultants to validate market conditions, competitive landscape, and business viability.

Implications of Funai’s Specialized Approach

Funai Consulting Agata FAS operates as a comprehensive FAS company, adhering to the collaborative synergy between Funai’s management consulting division and Agata Group's expertise in finance and accounting. This integrated approach allows for a thorough analysis, offering insights that extend from the financial metrics to vital strategic performance aspects that genuinely measure potential profitability.

With its achievements recognized in the industry, including a notable award from BATONZ for M&A excellence in 2025, Funai Consulting aims to continue providing comprehensive DD solutions that address all stages leading from initial consideration to growth following acquisition.

For those looking to learn more about the industry-focused business DD service, inquiries can be made via the dedicated site mentioned above (https://lp.fa-fas.co.jp/dd/), with preliminary consultations available even before formal agreements.
