We advise small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from both financial and business perspectives and contribute to the revitalization of the Japanese economy through the progress of SMEs’ mind-set.
We support the start-up of "expandable companies" and the reboot of "companies to start capitalization" within Japanese SMEs. It is “Jump Scale-up” and “New Deal”.
We consider the exchange of goods and funds not only within Japan but also broadly and realize the start-up and reboot of businesses by fully utilizing the global concept which is centered on the financial aspects of businesses potential and the net present value of cash flows.
Contributing to the reboot and the globalization of the Japanese economy by supporting the survival and development of SMEs
Amid concerns about the relative shrinkage of the Japanese economy, what is necessary for the future reboot of the Japanese economy is nothing but the survival and development of domestic and foreign owned SMEs.
Of course, it is important that many large corporations and financial institutions that have brought great benefits to all the people so far continue to exist. However, it is indispensable not only to have the significance of being a SME with a large enterprise as before, but also to form a thick layer of domestic and foreign owned SMEs that can take risks and confront themselves in the global economy stage.
The number of SMEs that can be expanded to global will increase as much as possible, and we will contribute to building up the layer that can be said to be Japanese SMEs in the world.
