Gunma-based care services provider 孫の手 completed its listing on TOKYO PRO Market in March 2026. This article introduces a series of initiatives aimed at achieving sustainable growth by carrying on the founder’s vision, building a stronger organizational foundation and receiving ongoing support from the J-Adviser.
孫の手 decided to list on TOKYO PRO Market, with its founder, Urano (浦野), seeking to transform the company into an organization that does not depend on any individual. The company views the listing not as a capital policy measure, but as a way to build a structure that will enable the business to endure.
It chose TPM as its listing market because care services are a people-centered business and the company believes that gaining public credibility is the starting point. During the listing preparation process, it worked to strengthen governance and decision-making processes and build an organization that does not depend on the president. The listing is also regarded as an effective succession-planning measure, with emphasis placed on its role in strengthening the organization and its credibility when the business is passed on to the next generation.
The TPM listing is expected to expand opportunities to establish regional locations and collaborate with major companies, as well as lead to the creation of new businesses that leverage DX and insights from frontline operations. A growth strategy that draws on frontline expertise is regarded as important.
Nihon M&A Center’s J-Adviser places importance on a system under which it continues to support the company after listing, repeatedly stating its policy of supporting the creation of a foundation for corporate growth and business succession rather than treating the listing itself as the objective.
