Mitsuki Consulting Teams Up with Shimane Bank for M&A Support

Mitsuki Consulting, a leading M&A intermediary firm, has recently established a partnership with Shimane Bank to bolster their capabilities in facilitating mergers and acquisitions (M&A) across the San'in region. This collaboration aims to combine Mitsuki Consulting's extensive nationwide M&A expertise and Shimane Bank's robust local network, thereby enhancing the support available to companies facing business succession challenges in the area.

Background of the Collaboration

The San'in region, which includes Shimane and Tottori prefectures, is facing significant challenges related to the lack of successors in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This issue not only threatens the continuity of these businesses but also risks job losses within the local community. As the demand for M&A solutions grows, there is an increasing need for specialized expertise that can effectively navigate the complexities of identifying suitable partners and executing transactions.

Financial institutions play a crucial role in promptly identifying these challenges while M&A firms, like Mitsuki Consulting, provide the necessary execution support. This partnership aims to bridge that gap, ensuring a comprehensive approach to tackling the succession dilemma in local businesses.

Objectives of the Partnership

The primary goal of this collaboration is to offer tailored, localized, and professional M&A support to client companies in the San'in area grappling with succession issues. By expanding both the options available for sellers and buyers and streamlining the succession process, the partnership aspires to facilitate a smoother transition of ownership.

Details of the Partnership

Shimane Bank will focus on early identification of business succession needs among its corporate clients and help ascertain compatible M&A opportunities. Meanwhile, Mitsuki Consulting will manage the entire M&A process, from candidate search and business valuation to structuring, negotiation, due diligence, and contract finalization.

Value to Client Companies

Client companies stand to benefit from localized introductions and matching, ensuring alignment with cultural and regional contexts. With the backing of certified public accountants and tax professionals, clients can rely on thorough support in areas ranging from taxation and accounting to contract governance. Importantly, sellers benefit from a no upfront fee structure, with a success-based compensation model that allows them to engage high-quality M&A services without initial financial burdens.

Strengths of Mitsuki Consulting

With a proven track record of over 500 M&A transactions across various sectors, Mitsuki Consulting brings a wealth of cross-industry expertise to the table. Their corporate valuation methodologies integrate various approaches to ensure that clients can negotiate favorable terms. Furthermore, as a part of the Mitsuki group, which includes Mitsuki Tax Corporation in Tokyo and Matsue, they are well-equipped to design practical tax structures and organizational reformation plans.

Strengths of Shimane Bank

As a regional financial institution, Shimane Bank has established strong relationships within the community, allowing for in-depth understanding of local issues and reliable introductions to potential partners. The bank is well-positioned to facilitate the necessary financial arrangements related to M&A, ensuring that companies can access the capital needed for post-merger growth and sustainability.

Roles and Responsibilities

In this partnership, Mitsuki Consulting will oversee M&A brokerage activities, including candidate searches, valuations, terms design, negotiation, and contract support. Shimane Bank will be responsible for timely identification of business succession needs, client referrals, financing support, and collaboration with regional networks.

Key Support Services Offered

The partnership will offer a range of support services focused on business succession M&A, including:

• - Design and execution of various schemes such as share transfers, business transfers, and spin-offs.
• - Advisory services for sellers, encompassing business valuation, creating non-name documents, investment memorandums, buyer selection, and negotiation of terms.
