M&A Bazaar

M&A Bazaar, founded in 2023 and headquartered in Tokyo, operates a Japanese M&A platform connecting businesses for mergers and acquisitions. The company aims to resolve issues within existing M&A processes by providing a new framework. Its primary services include a free matching service and an M&A advisor referral service.

The matching service connects business owners looking to sell with potential buyers. M&A Bazaar creates anonymized information sheets for seller companies and, upon the seller's approval, shares them with potential buyers to gauge interest. This matching process is provided free of charge to both the seller and the buyer, even if a deal is successfully completed. For sellers who require assistance with negotiations after a match is made, the company offers an M&A advisor introduction service. It refers sellers to suitable financial advisors from a network of approximately 3,000, specializing in facilitating the best possible outcome for the seller. This referral is also free for the seller, as M&A Bazaar receives a fee from the introduced advisor. The platform focuses on the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) market, which constitutes about 99% of businesses in Japan.
