When going about expanding business into Japanese market, getting local know-how and resources in the quickest time possible after starting up there is crucial for success.
Here, the most effective method for success is cross-border M&A, wherein you would either acquire or form a partnership with a Japanese company.
The different hurdles for that are…

1. Language　2. Knowledge of Local Culture　3. Geography　4. Reliability of Information

The greatest hurdle of these four is the reliability of information. Overcoming these hurdles is something that is extremely difficult for foreign companies when seeking for a Japanese partner.

At AIBJ, we have our headquarters in Tokyo, Japan meaning that we can clear these hurdles presented by cross-border M&A transactions with companies from foreign countries. We can get information that you can rely on regarding business culture and norms as well as various kinds of information about potential partner companies at different stages of economic development so that you can make informed decisions. Through this we make your project success.

There are several hurdles that must be overcome when going about finding & negotiating a good Japanese partner through M&A transaction. In order to make your search, negotiations and final transaction a success, it is imperative to not just passively wait for a deal, but to pro-actively and strategically go out and select find and negotiate with companies who could become potential partners as we do at AIBJ.

In other words, we don’t believe that anyone will succeed with a M&A with Japanese company by just waiting for a project to come along; rather, foreign companies must strategically and actively go out to look for companies and negotiate with them.
