M&A approval support
Updated: July 2026, 1
There has been an increase in consultations on the sale and acquisition (M&A) of companies that hold licenses and permits.
In many cases where clients come to us for advice after an M&A transaction has been completed, they do not understand the requirements for each license or permit, or the actual situation of the company they are acquiring, and end up encountering ``unforeseen difficulties'' after the M&A transaction has been completed.
[Commonly disastrous M&A]
- Unable to meet the personnel requirements, we decided to file a suspension notice early on...
- Due to improper management of legal records, we had to file an accident report early...
- Suddenly, an inspection was conducted and I received administrative sanctions...
- There were problems that were not visible on the surface (e.g., risk of litigation, etc.)
Positive M&A that was supposed to aim for the early launch and profitability of new businesses can, before you know it, turn into a situation where it is no longer possible to even start operations.
Let's realize proper and proper M&A!
Our company has a specialized team that is familiar with various licenses and permits, and provides appropriate and suitable M&A and post-M&A business growth support.

[Limited release] Proposal for "Due diligence for approval" to prevent risks after M&A
What is the "license risk" that is not included in financial statements?
When it comes to M&A with licensed companies, are you reassured by the mere fact that they hold the licenses?
There are many cases where companies are forced to close down or go out of business immediately after an M&A is completed due to risks that do not surface during financial and legal due diligence, such as ``we lacked the necessary personnel'' or ``an accident report was required due to improper management of legal books.''
For a limited time, we are making available free of charge a document that systematically identifies and addresses "license and approval risks" to avoid these risks and make M&A successful.

Option: Information on comprehensive management of licenses and qualifications
Companies that hold multiple licenses and licenses tend to have a large company size and number of bases, while a limited number of people in charge repeat excessive searches, investigations, and internal checks, relying on their own experience and sense. , in many cases they somehow manage permissions and licenses.
In addition, personnel transfers have combined with work becoming individualized and a black box, and employees with no experience in licensing who have only been on the job for a few months are dealing with licensing management, which is the core of the company, by imitation, with insufficient handover. Things are happening too.
Do you have these problems?
- Work is being left to a few people and becoming a black box...
- The appropriate amount of work and time is not understood, and it becomes just a "task"...
- The quality (consistency of application contents, procedural omissions, etc.) cannot be verified because it is left to the person in charge...

- A person in charge of license management is always on duty.
It is not possible to train other personnel or flexibly allocate personnel, resulting in organizational constraints... - On-site staff are so focused on the procedural tasks that are important that the strategic use of permits and licenses and the increase in sales in the permit and license business are put on the back burner...

For companies that hold permits and licenses, missing procedures or missing deadlines is a major risk that can lead to a loss of trust in the company.
In the unlikely event that there is a blank period in an important license due to a mistake or omission in renewal procedures, etc., not only will you lose profit opportunities, but your business will come to a halt and you will be liable for damages, which could have a huge impact. There is a possibility that it will come.
Nowadays, when compliance is being called out loudly, a movement is underway, mainly among major companies and listed companies, to review their license management operations and aim for appropriate risk management and strategic utilization.
