Sakae Sushi chain owner diversifies into corporate advisory services

SAKAE Holdings, which owns restaurant chain Sakae Sushi, has diversified into corporate advisory services, and its first client is Q&M Dental Group.

In a statement on Tuesday, the group said its wholly owned unit, Sakae Corporate Advisory, has been appointed to serve as Q&M Dental Group's corporate adviser for two years.

Sakae Holdings founder Douglas Foo said Q&M has strong growth potential, and that many European and American family offices and fund managers are interested in investing in such companies.

Sakae Corporate Advisory's programme is a three-part, two-year one, he said.

The first part centres on highlighting clients' investment merits to targeted investors, while the second involves working with analysts and European brokerages to explore international growth drivers.

"Thirdly, we will then bring our clients individually to 'custom-made' investment roadshows in more than ten major European and American cities," Mr Foo said.
