Revenue model

1. Private Investment Fund Management (ソーシャル運用®): The company manages unique social-impact investment funds targeting individual investors. These funds invest in SME successions, generating returns through long-term value creation of acquired companies. The funds provide the capital structure for acquiring and supporting successor businesses.
2. Management Support Services (ソリューションチーム): Revenue is generated through ongoing management support provided to successor companies via the company's Solution Team, which consists of experienced former executives and business leaders who provide advisory services to portfolio companies.

Core offering

Jigyosyokei Kiko acquires and permanently retains Japanese SMEs whose owners face succession challenges, using a proprietary Business Succession Platform® combined with impact investment funds sourced from individual investors. The company deploys its own management personnel and a Solution Team of former executives into acquired companies to provide ongoing Management Sharing® support, preserving founder legacies, employment, and regional economic activity. It also partners with regional financial institutions (e.g., Tokushima Taisho Bank) to co-invest through regional succession funds such as the Tokugin Future Succession Fund.

Product overview

Jigyosyokei Kiko operates as a financial services company offering a comprehensive business succession ecosystem. The core offerings consist of three interconnected pillars: the proprietary '事業継承プラットフォーム®' for permanent business retention, 'ソーシャル運用®' investment funds enabling individual investors to participate in succession deals, and '経営シェアリング®' providing ongoing management support to succeeded companies. The company also runs fund products (事業継承未来ファンドシリーズ) and partners with regional financial institutions on co-branded succession funds like 'とくぎん未来継承ファンド' with Tokushima Daishi Bank.

Direct peers

• Nihon M&A Center: Japan's largest listed SME M&A intermediary, directly comparable to JSK in serving SME owners with succession solutions. Differentiates JSK as a permanent-retention acquirer versus Nihon M&A Center's transaction-matching model.
• Yamada Consulting Group: Mid-cap Japanese advisory firm providing business succession and consulting services to SMEs. Directly comparable in succession advisory and supporting SME owners through ownership transitions.
• M&A Research Institute: Tech-enabled Japanese SME M&A intermediary directly competing for the same succession-deal flow. Comparable advisory-led model targeting SME owners with no internal successor — the same primary customer segment JSK serves.
• M&A Capital Partners: Listed Japanese M&A advisory firm with a focus on mid-market and SME succession. Directly competes for succession mandates from Japanese SME owners and is comparable in deal-size orientation and target customer segment.
• Strike Co. Listed Japanese SME M&A intermediary covering small and mid-cap succession transactions. Directly comparable customer base (SME owners) and product category (business succession/M&A advisory), and is publicly cited in JSK's earned media coverage.

Emerging players

• Aoyama Zaurus (青山綜合): Japan-focused SME succession and M&A advisory. Comparable in target customer (SME owners facing succession) but smaller scale; represents a niche competitor in the same succession advisory space.
• M&A Cloud: Japan-based M&A platform that digitally matches SME sellers with buyers/ successors. Comparable in serving the no-internal-successor SME segment, but uses a marketplace model rather than JSK's permanent-acquirer approach.

Others

• Industry Hatsu-Sōkeizai-sokushin-kyōkai / SME Succession Support Centers (事業承継・引継ぎ支援センター): Government-affiliated, METI-backed nationwide network of SME succession support centers. They are a free public-sector alternative for SME owners, setting competitive context for JSK's paid succession services.

Regional players

• Relo Group (700-Series Holdings / Succession Vehicle): Larger Japanese business that has engaged in succession-buyout activity. Less direct overlap than listed M&A specialists but operates in the same Japanese succession-M&A ecosystem with comparable deal characteristics.

Broad incumbents

• Funai Soken Research (船井総合研究所): Large Japanese business consulting group that has featured JSK successor Meiko in its '100 Billion Enterprise Project'. Provides succession-adjacent consulting to SMEs and acts as a thought-leadership partner, overlapping in customer base rather than directly competing.
