About our mission "More sustainable growth companies"

Our founder, Yukio Funai, has proposed that the objectives of corporate management should be the pursuit of profitability, educational value, and social responsibility. The importance of these three elements is evident in recent trends such as ESG and SDGs. I believe that these three elements are something that small and medium-sized business owners can aspire to, regardless of their business environment, such as size, trade area, or industry, and that Funai Soken consultants are ready to support them in their endeavors.

Vision: "Aiming to become a comprehensive management consulting company that is indispensable for small and medium-sized business owners"

Funai Soken is a comprehensive management consulting company, but also a comprehensive "management" consulting company. We are not limited to specific themes such as human resources, digital, or finance, but focus on solving management issues and satisfying the wants of managers. Rather than simply being a general company, we aim to provide "management-specific" comprehensive management consulting that helps managers realize their dreams.
