Services

U.S. M&A Plan Development and Execution

We analyze the feasibility of M&A as a strategy for U.S. market entry or expansion and support the development of executable plans.
Our services include evaluating market size, growth potential, and competitive dynamics; identifying candidate targets; and facilitating deal negotiations—not with the goal of merely closing a transaction, but to achieve the client’s long-term investment objectives. Where needed, we involve legal and other experts to ensure a comprehensive support framework.

Financial, Business, and Operational Due Diligence

For unlisted company acquisitions, due diligence (DD) to assess the target’s business and risk profile is critical.
USJP offers a comprehensive DD service with the following strengths: (1) Beyond financial data, we assess organizational, HR, operational, and IT factors. (2) When audited financials are unavailable, we can construct financial documentation from existing internal data. (3) The depth and scope of review are flexibly scaled to match the deal size and risk level. (4) Legal DD can be integrated into the process by incorporating external legal counsel. (5) Our consultants who lead the DD can also stay involved post-acquisition to support integration and operations.

Post-Merger Integration and Business Operations Support

While due diligence and contract negotiation are typically completed within a year, achieving M&A objectives often takes several years. This is especially true in the case of acquiring privately held companies, where differences in scale, organization, culture, and management style can create friction.
USJP joins the client’s integration team to help identify and address these gaps, facilitate trust-building, and support integration of management structures, teams, business processes, and IT systems. We develop tailored PMI programs specific to each deal and assist in execution.

Exit and Downsizing Support

We provide end-to-end support for clients exiting or downsizing their U.S. operations. We assess financial conditions, market benchmarks, and viable exit strategies such as business transfers or asset sales. Once a direction is set, we assist with documentation, buyer search and negotiations, and transaction-related processes. We also work with legal and other professionals to minimize risks and avoid unexpected surprises, ensuring a smooth and secure exit process.
