M&A Research Institute Relocates Osaka Office to Grand Front Osaka Tower B to Support Business Expansion

M&A Research Institute relocated its Osaka office to the 13th floor of Grand Front Osaka Tower B and commenced operations at the new site on June 23, 2025. Since opening its Osaka branch in November 2020, the firm has steadily expanded its succession advisory business in the Kansai region, prompting the decision to expand office space.

The company operates under a fully success-based fee model and leverages its proprietary digital transformation (DX) system to handle a high volume of M&A transactions. As part of its medium-term strategy, the firm is targeting a 700-advisor workforce by the fiscal year ending September 2026. The relocation is expected to accelerate hiring in the Kansai region. By enhancing face-to-face consultation capabilities alongside its AI-driven matching system, the firm aims to deepen its presence in the small-scale M&A market and improve service quality.

Founded in 2018, M&A Research Institute went public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market in June 2022. It transitioned to the Prime Market in August 2023 under the holding company M&A Research Institute Holdings. The firm has sustained high growth, with consolidated revenue reaching JPY 16.5 billion in the fiscal year ending September 2024 and a workforce of 456 employees. Looking ahead, the company plans to maintain its high-margin business model by leveraging AI for operational efficiency while tapping into M&A demand in regional cities.
