CEO, HEH.com (Shokuninsan Co Ltd)
M&A Advisor in Tokyo, Japan
Interests:
We primarily focus on small and mid-sized companies in Japan, especially in the construction, architecture, equipment, and engineering (e. g. 3D CAD) sectors.
We look for businesses that:
- Have a mid- to long-term need for succession or generational transition (founder/owner aging, no clear successor)
- Generate annual revenue roughly in the JPY 100M – 3B range, with an existing customer base, technology, and skilled workforce.
- Maintain basic governance standards such as legal compliance and proper financial management.
- Are open to partnerships or capital alliances, including with overseas investors or strategic partners.
Rather than purely short-term exit opportunities, we prefer companies that share a mid- to long-term view, such as:
- Passing the business and employment to the next generation.
- Building sustainable synergies with domestic and international partners.
Background: Our company is a Japan-based company operating a platform and advisory services focused on the construction and architecture industry. With a long-established construction company in our group, we understand both the realities of job sites and the management side, and we support strategic planning, overseas expansion, and M&A / succession for SMEs. Our representative has experience in corporate planning, M&A, and overseas office setup for construction-related companies, and has acted as a bridge between Japanese companies and overseas investors/partners. We have particular strengths in construction, equipment, and engineering (including 3D CAD and BIM), and maintain networks with overseas partners, especially in Vietnam.
Our past work includes:
- Succession and strategic review projects for construction companies in Japan.
- Feasibility studies for capital and business alliances with overseas design/engineering firms.
- Support for Japanese companies setting up overseas entities.
We aim to provide advice that balances enterprise value maximisation with the long-term sustainability of the field operations and employees.
