WellBear announced that it has launched a US business succession and M&A support service for Japanese owner-managers operating businesses in the United States. In parallel, it will approach prospective buyers in Japan and the US to help owners consider potential buyers, while working with specialists to organize tax, legal and immigration-status issues in advance. Consultations are available in Japanese, along with support for preparing English-language materials and negotiations. Services are provided from 2 locations, Tokyo and Denver.
Against a backdrop of a growing Japanese population in the US and changes in the proportions of long-term residents and permanent residents, business owners face challenges including finding successors, immigration status, taxes and buyers. In response, the company aims to serve as a bridge connecting Japanese companies expanding into the US with prospective local buyers.
