Business
Live Consulting Co., Ltd. was founded in 2012 and operates its Consulting Business as a single segment both domestically and internationally, guided by its management philosophy. The company serves a broad client base ranging from venture companies to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and large corporations, with cumulative support projects reaching 10,000 since its founding. Its client base spans nationwide, and the company is characterized by "hands-on support" that goes beyond strategy formulation to engage directly with clients on the ground. The group has sales agency and DX implementation functions, and advances its business through a six-company structure consisting of the company itself and five consolidated subsidiaries. The company listed on the TSE Growth Market in December 2025, aiming to strengthen its financial foundation and creditworthiness.
Business Model
The majority of revenue consists of fees for consulting services provided. The company manages revenue per consultant (¥26.2 million in FY2025) as a productivity indicator, aiming to expand sales through both workforce expansion and productivity improvement. The structure enables consistent support from strategy formulation through the execution phase in collaboration with group subsidiaries (Goofy, Prucell, Flow Group, etc.), aiming to increase customer unit prices and retention rates.
Company Strengths
The company advocates "hands-on support," going beyond strategic proposals to embed itself in client operations and work alongside clients until results are achieved. It has built a "three-in-one support system" that mutually feeds back growth know-how cultivated through venture support and advanced methodologies from large enterprise support, and the cumulative number of support projects since founding has reached 10,000.
Sales per consultant improved significantly in the most recent period, moving from ¥24.0 million in FY2022 → ¥23.4 million in FY2024 → ¥26.2 million in FY2025. This was driven by the use of generative AI in operations and organizational reinforcement by client size, and with 188 consultants at fiscal year-end (end of FY2025), the company achieved net sales of ¥6,109 million and operating profit of ¥839 million.
The company has been recognized in the "Great Place to Work" ranking (Japan mid-size company category) by the Great Place to Work Institute, one of the world's largest workplace survey organizations, for 12 consecutive years since 2015. It has earned high evaluation within the industry for recruitment, development, and retention of talent, which form the foundation of the consulting business.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
From net sales of ¥6,109 million and operating profit of ¥839 million in FY2025 (ended December 2025), the full-year forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) anticipates accelerating growth to net sales of ¥7,086 million (+16.0%) and operating profit of ¥1,111 million (+32.4%). Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026) results were net sales of ¥1,805 million, EBITDA of ¥324 million, operating profit of ¥295 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent of ¥201 million. Year-on-year comparison is not possible because quarterly consolidated financial statements were not prepared for the prior-year period. As for external factors, consulting demand is trending at a high level against a backdrop of improving corporate earnings and a recovering employment and income environment, while uncertainty is increasing due to geopolitical risk, persistently high resource and energy prices, and foreign exchange volatility, among other factors. On the financial front, the company maintained soundness with an equity ratio of 82.9%, while the issuance of new shares (247,500 shares) through the over-allotment at the time of listing increased both capital stock and capital surplus by ¥114 million each.
Growth Strategy
Aiming for a revenue CAGR of 20% and operating profit CAGR of 40% through FY2028 (ending March 2028), driven by three pillars: marketing, DX, and M&A
Strengthening the organization by customer scale enables fine-grained responses to each growth stage, from ventures to major corporations. New project acquisition—such as Growth Support Consulting and DX implementation support—built on continued engagements with existing clients has progressed steadily, with Q1 revenue of ¥1,805 million representing 25.5% progress against the full-year forecast of ¥7,086 million.
To capture demand for the societal implementation (DX) of technologies including generative AI, the company is rolling out AI utilization support services through a business alliance with Preferred Networks. Demand for business process reform and support in overcoming labor shortages remains high across the industry as a whole, and the company is focusing on providing high-value-added services.
The Group-in transaction of Flow Group Inc. (June 2025) has strengthened the framework for utilizing external specialized talent. Backed by improved financial foundation and creditworthiness following the listing on the TSE Growth Market (December 2025), the company plans to continue pursuing business domain expansion and enhanced specialization through M&A. Net assets of ¥3,770 million and an equity ratio of 82.9% as of the end of March 2026 underpin its investment capacity.
