Transferor Company
Four merits of the completely success-based fee system
Many M&A intermediary firms claim to have a success-based fee system.
However, in addition to the success fee, there may be a retainer fee, interim fee, monthly fee, etc.
We believe that a cost structure that forces you to bear the burden regardless of the results is a major issue in the M&A industry.
For transferor companies, we have supported M&A with a completely success-based fee system since our founding.
Until the M&A is concluded,
you don't need to pay.Many M&A intermediary companies charge a "retainer fee", "interim fee" and "monthly fee" regardless of the results.
Even if the M&A is not closed, the transferor company may have to pay fees of millions to tens of millions of yen.Our fee system is a "completely success-based fee system", so if the M&A is not closed, we will not receive any fees from the transferor company (seller), Since we are confident in closing M&A deals.
We will also waive the retainer fee for the transferee company.The transfer amount is accurate,
and transferability is excellent.Some M&A intermediary companies take a retainer fee to satisfy a quota. Such intermediary companies tend to offer a transfer price that exceeds the owner's desired price, or even a reasonable price, so the transferor company will not know the true transfer price and the transferability.
There are many intermediaries that aim to earn retainer fees. This kind of intermediary tends to offer transfer prices that exceed the owner's desired price or fair price, so the seller is unaware of the true price and potential.We will honestly discuss the appropriate transfer price and possibility. This is why we have high customer satisfaction and conversion rates.
Wider range of potential buyers
M&A Research Institute is a retainer fee-free M&A intermediary.
If the intermediary charges the retainer fee to the buyer, in many cases they feel the reluctance to pay and do not consider the acquisition. As a result, they lose their opportunities for the deal.
We do not receive retainer fees from buyers, so we have more potential buyers for finding great matching.
You can close more quickly
Many intermediaries do not list their fees clearly on their websites. When business owners consult with an intermediary, they will be told they need to pay a retainer, an interim, and a monthly fee. In addition, it takes time to receive an explanation of the fee structure that is not easy to understand, nor to negotiate the fee. We do not receive any of the above-mentioned fees, so you can start searching for potential buyers immediately after receiving your request.
As a result, we are able to help you with speedy transfers and sales in as little as 49 days from request to project contract.
M&A Research Institute is
free of charge until your deal closing
We are a "completely success-based" fee company.
There are no "retainer fees" or "interim fees", and we do not receive any fees until the M&A is closed.
When comparing you to other intermediary companies,
please check the retainer fee and interim fee, and the amount on which the performance fee calculation is based.
