In Japan, hundreds of thousands of well-run small and mid-sized businesses face the same quiet problem: a founder ready to retire, and no one to hand the company to. Many of these businesses never look beyond their own prefecture for a buyer ā not because no buyer exists, but because the introduction never happens.
Kaikou & Co. exists to make that introduction ā connecting these businesses with the capital and partners outside Japan who can carry them forward.

We identify Japanese businesses facing succession without an heir, and introduce them to buyers and partners from outside Japan who can carry the business forward ā handling structure, translation of intent, and the early groundwork that a purely domestic broker often can't.

Where a business fits our own thesis, we invest directly ā building it into an operating business with real reach beyond Japan, rather than passing every opportunity along.

We think about who runs the business ten years on, not just who signs the closing documents.

Deals stall when one side can't read the other's intent. We sit close enough to both sides to catch that early.

Succession is personal for the people selling. We treat it that way.
