What Nihon M&A Center does

Japan's largest M&A advisory firm, matching small and mid-size business owners with succession buyers.

Is paid by both sides of a deal: an engagement retainer, then a success fee on completion calculated from the transaction value. Its edge is a database of owners and potential buyers that Japan's regional banks and accountants help feed. The number of consultants limits how many deals it can handle.

In one line: A business-succession-focused Japanese M&A advisory boutique.
