Boutiques operates three main business segments. First, in the exhibition business, the company organizes trade show-style exhibitions in the nursing care and health treatment industries. Representative events include "CareTEX" and "CareTEX One," which attract nursing care product manufacturers and equipment suppliers for senior care facilities. These exhibitions are conducted in a hybrid format combining in-person and online experiences, providing an efficient venue for business negotiations.

Second, in the M&A brokerage business, the company provides services addressing business succession needs across the nursing care, medical, disability welfare, childcare, construction, IT, and pharmacy industries. Boutiques conducts M&A brokerage at industry-leading low fee rates and leverages a buyer list of over 17,000 companies to achieve rapid and efficient matching. This supports transactions on favorable terms for both sellers and buyers.

Finally, in the human resources recruitment support business, the company operates "JobTra," a recruitment event for new graduates, and "JobTra Academy," a job search information website. These services aim to improve matching accuracy between job seekers and recruiting companies. JobTra notably allows recruiters to assess job seekers' abilities and aptitudes through business games. The service is characterized by attracting many growth-oriented students through anonymous company recruitment.

Boutiques operates under the corporate philosophy "Matching First," aiming to revitalize industries and create a prosperous society through optimal matching. Based on this philosophy, the company has established management principles focused on maximizing matching satisfaction, creating new services, sustaining profit growth, eliminating fraud, and adapting to change.

Amid intensifying competition and talent recruitment challenges in the care services industry, Boutiques hosts business-focused trade shows to promote matching between care service providers and suppliers. This exhibition business operates a unique business model that delivers diverse services, including M&A advisory and recruitment support.

Boutiques has formulated a medium-term management plan called "Vision2025" with the fiscal year ending March 2026 as the final year, targeting specific revenue and operating profit goals. In the fiscal year ending March 2024, the company revised its M&A advisory business plan and extended the final year by one year. The company is working toward listing on the Prime Market while advancing its corporate philosophy.

In the exhibition business, Boutiques plans to expand the "CareTEX" event in the care services sector and develop hybrid exhibitions for "DXPO" in the IT field. In the M&A advisory business, the company is leveraging process management systems and new training programs to strengthen consultant development and ensure project progress certainty.

In the recruitment support business, Boutiques has completed the merger of Realive and is advancing management integration. While strengthening recruitment event operations and developing new businesses, the company is also making full-scale entry into mid-career placement services alongside new graduate placement services. Revenue expansion is anticipated from the fiscal year ending March 2027 onward.
