Within Japan’s dynamic and thriving business landscape, mergers and acquisitions are gaining more and more popularity. Businesses across the world are engaging in M&As with Japanese companies to benefit from their superior technology. However, at the same time, Japanese companies remain relatively reserved in their exploration of foreign markets and partnerships. Moreover, a lot of businesses also prefer quick auctions to buy or sell assets rather than lengthy M&A procedures, with the aim to swiftly ‘close the deal’.
However, buyers often struggle with post merger integration processes after closing, which can be prevented by opting for a proper M&A procedure. This is where Crosslink, established in 2022 by Sachie Hasegawa emerges as a one-stop solution. Crosslink offers tailor-made, flexible, and ’time consuming’ M&A advisory services for the benefit of its clients. The company offers comprehensive consulting services related to domestic and international corporate acquisitions and alliances (M&A) and real estate investment, and aims to bridge the gap between parties, to establish trust, and help businesses find the ideal partner that promotes their long-term growth.
Connecting Parties
The name Crosslink has been carefully chosen by Sachie to reflect the key strength of the company, which is connecting both parties in an M&A transaction through efficient and effective communication. The company’s strength lies in facilitating trust building among parties, ensuring that they develop a good relationship which translates into mutual success. An experienced trailblazer, Sachie brings an innate gift and a stellar record of connecting parting for mutual benefit, and aims to use her tailor-made services approach to enhance the focus on ‘connect’ between parties for greater success.
“Before establishing my firm, I worked on several advisory projects across numerous countries (14 countries/40 projects), and established trust-based relationships with external parties. Such parties still support me a lot, and give referrals to new clients. I really enjoy ’connecting’ company to company, people to people. These experiences and the network I established with leading organizations have shaped my approach, and provided a supportive launchpad for my entrepreneurial journey”, shares Sachie Hasegawa, Founder & CEO, Crosslink.
Taking a comprehensive step-by-step process to helping businesses find the ‘ideal’ partner in Japan, Sachie and Crosslink not only ensure that clients spend their time with the optimal few candidates, but also offers them time to understand exactly what qualities or strengths they want from a partner, thereby making the best choice for their advancement.
Apart from M&A, the company also excels in real estate investment advisory services, which also stem from Sachie’s deep industry knowledge and experience in the domain, having worked for the real estate investment unit of a US-based multinational corporation.
