Funai Soken Agata FAS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Takashi Mitsuda; hereinafter "Funai Soken Agata FAS"), an M&A and business succession consulting firm within the Funai Soken Group, will deliver an additional online seminar titled "How Kagohara Golf Transformed M&A-Acquired Facilities: Full Disclosure of Concrete Methods to Boost Performance," following high demand from the previous session.

This seminar features Akihiko Okitomi, President and Representative Director of Kagohara Golf Co., Ltd., which operates over 10 outdoor golf practice facilities. He will share, based on actual experience, the company’s unique M&A strategy and facility management know-how that drives performance growth through community integration and leveraging strengths—without relying on large-scale equipment investments.

Background and Purpose of the Seminar

In recent years, interest in M&A as a means of business succession and consolidation has grown in the outdoor golf practice facility industry, driven by lack of successors and diversification needs. However, many operators face practical challenges such as: "How to improve performance after M&A?", "How to calculate appropriate transfer prices including goodwill?", and "How to maintain good relationships with former owners and existing employees?"

This seminar will thoroughly analyze the success story of Kagohara Golf, which aims for ¥10 billion in annual sales through conglomerate management, combining outdoor golf practice facilities with related businesses such as indoor golf, fitness, and cafes. The company’s post-acquisition value-up strategies and synergy creation with other businesses will be clearly explained, with insights from consulting experts.
