We advise foreign companies making acquisitions in Japan or seeking to sell a Japanese entity. We also advise Japanese companies in assessing targets overseas and preparing for sale to foreign investors.

Whether you are buying or selling a business, we will work closely with you to understand the main drivers behind your deal, your strategic plan going forward and the associated risks to ensure the scope of work is robust and meets the needs of your board, your financial backers or potential acquirer. Typically our report will focus on a critical analysis of the historical and projected financial performance, including:

Identifying potential ‘deal breakers’.
Highlighting issues which may lead to a purchase price adjustment.
Understanding the working capital requirement of the business.

Acquisition financial due diligence

Through our financial due diligence, we help companies understanding an organisation’s historical financial performance, its on and off balance sheet assets and liabilities, and the key assumptions underpinning its projected performance is crucial to assessing the viability of a transaction and will ultimately influence the price you are willing to pay.
We also assist our clients during the purchase price adjustment phase through our procedures on the closing date balance sheet.

Vendor Assistance

We assist the vendor throughout the sale process with support to carve out accounting and financial data of the business considered for sale, assistance to set up the data room and develop a financial model to ensure the best price is obtained. Our advices aim also at reducing the business disruptions and accelerating the transfer to new owners.
