Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Maximize transaction value while protecting corporate confidentiality.
As a Seller-Side Financial Advisor, TVC represents business owners and shareholders throughout the entire M&A lifecycle—from strategic planning and valuation to buyer identification, negotiation, and deal closing. Our objective is to maximize value, protect confidentiality, and ensure a successful transaction aligned with the seller's long-term goals.
We employ a multi-layered confidentiality protocol. Detailed information is only released after vetting prospective buyers and executing a binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Initial outreach is performed using highly anonymized teaser profiles, ensuring your company name and sensitive indicators remain secure.
A typical transaction takes between 6 to 9 months from initiation to closing. This timeline includes planning, teaser distribution, buyer screening, top meetings, LOI negotiations, formal due diligence, and final SPA executions.
We work with small and mid-market companies across ASEAN, South Asia and Japan, in sectors from manufacturing and logistics to consumer, healthcare and technology.
We draw on a live database of Japanese and international investors in VentureFlow, our deal platform, and screen each one for fit and capacity before presenting your company.
