Businesses in the HR service field will increase in the 2020s, including human resources introduction and recruitment-related businesses, HR tech-related businesses such as the centralization of personnel information that have become mainstream since the 2010s, and the promotion of human capital management. It covers a wide range of areas, including human resource development-related projects, and is said to offer over 1,000 related services. On the other hand, it can also be said that due to its “wide range”, there are many similar services. There are many HR-related startups that have been in business for more than seven years and are nearing the deadline for redemption of their VC funds, and cases of M&A such as business transfers and becoming subsidiaries are increasing.
To date, our company has supported M&A of multiple HR-related companies, including start-up companies. Leveraging our past experience in consultation and contract closing, we will support M&A such as capital and business alliances and business transfers for startups that provide HR services, and support the growth of startups and the HR market.
