History

ONDECK was founded in July 2005 by Ryosuke Kubo and Masao Funato as a sole proprietorship to provide M&A advisory services for small and medium-sized enterprises. At the time, few companies specialized in SME M&A, and the market was still nascent. In August 2006, ONDECK participated in the launch of the "Kyosho M&A Market" operated by the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and Industry and was approved as a certified advisor. In December 2007, the company was incorporated as ONDECK Co., Ltd. and began formalizing partnerships with regional financial institutions and professional networks. In February 2011, ONDECK proposed the creation of the "Small M&A Market" operated by the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry and registered as an M&A handling company. In June 2011, it participated in the launch of the "Sakai M&A Market" by the Sakai Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In May 2014, it registered as a regular handling company for the "M&A Market" of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In November 2014, Representative Director Kubo participated as a committee member in the study group for the formulation of the "Business Succession Guidelines" by the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency. From 2015, ONDECK expanded its collaboration with the government's business succession support program. In February 2015, it opened a Tokyo office. In March 2015, it relocated its Osaka head office. In May 2018, it implemented a third-party allotment of new shares to Teikoku Databank Group and formed a capital and business alliance with Angel Bridge Co., Ltd. In December 2020, ONDECK listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers (now Growth Market). In October 2021, it relocated its Osaka head office to its current location. In October 2023, it relocated its Tokyo office to Akasaka, Minato-ku.
