Our overwhelming advantage over other companies is that we have:
Exclusive access to quality overseas deals from our partners around the world and can offer them directly to you.
Our strength comes from our business model that we have worked hard to build since our establishment.
Our business area covers 20 countries in Asia, Oceania and Europe. Not standing still, we are working to further expand our business globally.
Our cross-border M&A professionals, who have accumulated experience and know-how in this field, will do everything to make sure your M&A strategy is successful.
We have over 200 local partner companies so far, and this number will continue to grow as AIBJ’s geographical reach expands. We are thus able to obtain numerous cross-border deals through our network with overseas partners.
AIBJ continuously receives a large number of deals from our global overseas partner network and can boast access to more than 500 deals per year. Of these, AIBJ introduces only the best deals that we ourselves initially scrutinize, so as to provide only top-quality deals for our clients.
Since establishing our base in Hong Kong in 2011, this region has been our oldest and the one in which we have the most experience. In 2012, we established a base in Singapore, the gateway to Southeast Asia, and began full-scale operations. We currently have offices in most major ASEAN cities, including Singapore, where our group headquarters is located, as well as Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Manila, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, and Vientiane, and have built one of the largest networks of local partners. In 2019, we began sourcing high-quality projects in Vietnam. This is in tandem with the strong demand from Japanese companies for projects in Vietnam. Furthermore, following Indonesia’s significant relaxation of foreign investment restrictions, we are focusing on acquiring M&A projects there. Starting in 2023, we have been focusing on expanding our network in India, where high growth continues, and where the number of high-quality projects in the country has rapidly increased.
Having established operations in Australia in 2017 and New Zealand in 2018, AIBJ has focused on building our network by developing partners and obtaining projects. Currently, we are handling a large number of projects in Australia where we have built a strong track record. We feel that since 2018, Japanese companies have increased their interest not only in Southeast Asia but in Australia, as an extension of Southeast Asia and as a prelude to expansion into the US and elsewhere. One of the advantages of Australia is that, unlike some parts of Southeast Asia, the country has a good business infrastructure, including accounting, financial and legal infrastructure, making it easier for Japanese companies to expand there.
In order to diversify our regional portfolio, we began preparations for a full-scale expansion into Europe in 2018. Using the establishment of a local subsidiary in the Netherlands as a foothold, we proceeded to cultivate partners in the Netherlands and Belgium. However, the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 made local activities extremely difficult, forcing us to suspend them until 2021. Subsequently, as the COVID-19 crisis subsided and our internal resources strengthened, we resumed full-scale business activities in Europe in 2022. In addition to our traditional areas of operation, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, we have designated the UK, Germany, Switzerland, and Estonia as strategic regions and have opened offices in major cities in each country. We are working to deepen our network with local partners and in 2025, we dispatched a representative to the UK. Our network in the region is further expanding, including the handling of new projects in Spain.
Countries and regions targeted for overseas M&A deals have a life cycle.
In today’s world, where global conditions are changing at an ever-accelerating pace,
AIBJ is able to respond immediately to the M&A requirements of our client Japanese companies.
This is one of our unique strengths, as we have a large overseas network.
With our forward-looking expansion strategies into other regions, we will be better able to provide our clients with the support they need to grow their companies and accelerate their overseas expansion strategies.
We therefore can contribute to the acceleration of our clients’ corporate growth and overseas expansion.
