政治資金パーティー禁止は政治活動の制限か　規正法改正で与野党論戦【自民】【立憲】【公明】【維新】：朝日新聞デジタル

In a bid to address the rising number of disputes arising from mergers and acquisitions facilitated by intermediaries, the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency has launched an initiative to better understand the situation. The agency has noted a trend of troubles emerging in small businesses that have been acquired by the same group through M&A transactions. To tackle this issue, the agency is urging caution against repeat offenders and is considering revising the guidelines for small and medium-sized enterprise M&A transactions.

The agency’s move comes in response to a series of incidents where small businesses faced challenges after being acquired through M&A deals. By gaining a deeper understanding of the situation, the agency aims to prevent further disputes and protect the interests of small business owners.

In addition to raising awareness about the risks associated with M&A transactions, the agency is also looking into revising the guidelines to provide better protection for small and medium-sized enterprises. This proactive approach by the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency underscores the importance of ensuring a smooth transition during M&A transactions to safeguard the interests of all parties involved.
