Even if a company draws up a fantastic M&A strategy, the enterprise value of the company will not improve unless the strategy is carried out. The company can only execute its M&A strategy when the opportunity for an actual deal has been created. And to turn an opportunity into an actual deal, a company must have highly accurate information and strategically conceived approaches. RECOF has gained the know-how and resources to originate transactions based in its in-depth knowledge of companies, including knowledge of their recent moves, strategies, historical backgrounds, and even the personalities of the top executives who run them.

RECOF has contacts with a wide range of companies, from hundreds of SMEs to major corporations in both Japan and abroad. As we try to understand the everyday moves of our clients, we compile information on deal opportunities. With the vast amounts of information it has accumulated as an M&A boutique, RECOF assists in the planning of highly rational strategies for approaching targets and originating optimal transactions for its clients.
Free of affiliations with any business group (or “keiretsu”), RECOF makes everyday contacts with companies as an independent M&A advisor. In this capacity, we originate projects with a purer understanding of the corporate and M&A strategies of companies based on the information we collect independently via our contacts—information unbiased by the interests of a specific business group or creditor.

RECOF is a member of the “Global M&A (GMA),” an alliance of M&A boutiques in 38 countries. We use our global network to help clients materialize their cross-border M&A transactions.
