It’s okay if you don’t have a specific issue in mind.

Please feel free to contact us if you’re at any stage like:

• You're wondering whether you should enter the Japanese market.

• You're considering an M&A, but haven't organized your thoughts.

• You’re looking for someone to bounce management decisions off of.

Yes, it is.  

All of Glovation’s consultants are globally-minded professionals, and we are fully equipped to handle projects in English with foreign-affiliated companies and overseas clients.

Yes, they can.

We frequently receive inquiries regarding the following types of cases:

• Investment in or acquisition of overseas startups and companies

• Strategic planning for overseas expansion

• Initial evaluation of cross-border transactions

We place greater emphasis on whether critical business decisions need to be made rather than on the size of the company itself.

Even for small startups, we are able to provide support if the decisions involved—such as entering the Japanese market, forming partnerships, or making investment decisions—are of high importance.

Estimates are provided individually based on the project content and scope of involvement.

In our initial consultation, we will clarify the following points and then provide a transparent proposal:

• Scope of support

• Expected duration

• Level of involvement

While this varies depending on the project, the following are typical:

• One-time consultations or brainstorming sessions (short-term)

• Project-based advisory services

• Medium- to long-term, collaborative support

We design flexible plans according to the challenges and phases, rather than offering a uniform plan.

We do not primarily focus on FA services focused on brokerage or negotiating terms.

Glovation’s role lies in:

• Clarifying the strategic significance of M&A

• Evaluating opportunities from a business and growth perspective

• Supporting management in decision-making.

We collaborate with FA and financial institutions as needed, engaging as a partner on the management and business sides.

Our main clients include foreign-affiliated companies, overseas startups, companies in their growth phase, and companies and investors considering cross-border M&A and investments. 

We prioritize whether “a significant decision needs to be made in the Japanese market,” rather than industry or company size.

Yes, you can.

In fact, we often receive inquiries from clients who are still considering whether they should enter the market at all.   We provide support not only for market research, but also for organizing management decisions such as:

• Deciding whether to enter the market  

• Determining the optimal entry strategy  

• Timing

While Glovation itself does not handle legal or tax matters, we collaborate with trusted specialists (attorneys, tax accountants, judicial scriveners, etc.) depending on the project.

From a strategic and decision-making perspective, we take on the role of determining “which specialist to contact, what to ask, and when to do so.”
