M&A Strategy of
Money Forward
We aim to enhance our corporate value not only through organic growth, but also through M&As or “group-joins” with companies that share our mission and vision. We set the following M&A strategies and execute disciplined investments based on these strategies.
To up-sell products to our existing customers (partners and corporate clients) in order to increase ARR, and also to further expand our product lineup mainly for mid-sized companies, companies preparing for IPO and listed companies.
In order to pursue future business opportunities, we will strengthen our partnerships through access to the back-office SaaS market, focusing on Southeast Asia and North America.
We will proactively seek to enter business areas where further market expansion is expected, such as the SaaS marketing business.
