Alliances, Partnerships & M&A

Most deals fail after signing. We stay for the part that decides.

Agent, distributor, joint venture, acquisition or your own entity: we help you choose the right step, negotiate it in both cultures and make it work after closing.

Your situation

You are buying, selling or integrating a company across the border.

  • You need a partner, a distributor or an acquisition target in Japan or Europe.
  • The deal is signed, but the two organisations don't work as one.
  • A joint venture partner has different goals than you.
  • Financials look fine; people, customers and culture are not on the checklist.
What we do

Target search, negotiation in both cultures, closing, and the post-merger integration most deals fail on.

M&A project management

Partner search, due diligence, negotiation and closing, run as one project.

Joint ventures

Structures built on complementary strengths and clear goals for both sides.

Post-merger integration

One leadership team, one system, one sales approach, measured with KPIs.

Conflict resolution

When a partnership stalls: realign the stakeholders and the rules of cooperation.

Risk review before the deal

Failure modes analysis on relationships, people and operations, not only on numbers.

Distributor and partner search

Reliable partners from our network in Japan and Europe.

Weeks 1–6

First 100 days +

Integrate

One team, one system, targets everyone signs up to.

Where we did it

Two companies, one team.

A logistics-services group bought its largest competitor in Japan. We ran the integration on the ground, formed one leadership team out of two and brought both onto one system and one sales approach, steered by KPIs (2022–23).
