Company profile
researched Aug 2026ビジョナル株式会社 (Visional, Inc.) is a Tokyo-based holding company established on 2020-02-03 through a share transfer by 株式会社ビズリーチ (BizReach, Inc.), which converted the BizReach business into a group structure. Under the transition, BizReach became a wholly owned subsidiary handling HR Tech and cloud businesses, while the incubation organization inside BizReach was spun out as ビジョナル・インキュベーション株式会社. The group operates under the mission "新しい可能性を、次々と。" and positions itself around promoting digital transformation across industries.
Group companies include 株式会社ビズリーチ (the BizReach recruiting site, the internal-scouting "社内版ビズリーチ", the HRMOS human-capital platform series, and the ビズリーチ・キャンパス OB/OG visit network), ビジョナル・インキュベーション (business-succession M&A platform ビズリーチ・サクシード / M&Aサクシード, the yamory open-source vulnerability management tool, BizHint, Future of Work), 株式会社スタンバイ (the スタンバイ job search engine), 株式会社トラボックス (logistics DX platform), 株式会社BINAR (platform for high-skill IT engineers), M&Aサクシード and アシュアード. The holding company itself is described as providing management support to group companies. Headquarters are at 渋谷2-15-1, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo (渋谷クロスタワー); the group's corporate number is 6011001132222 and its fiscal year ends 31 July.
The company is led by founder and representative director 南 壮一郎 (Soichiro Minami), who founded BizReach in 2009 and took the Visional CEO role in February 2020; 多田 洋祐 became president of BizReach at the same time (he died in July 2022 and was succeeded by 酒井哲也). Other listed officers include CTO 竹内真 and COO 村田聡.
Founding story
The group traces to 南 壮一郎, who graduated from Tufts University in 1999, worked at Morgan Stanley, joined the founding team of the Rakuten Eagles baseball club in 2004, and founded BizReach in 2009. He was selected as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader in 2014 and became representative director and president of the newly created holding company Visional in February 2020, saying the group structure was chosen to make it easier to launch new businesses and enter new domains via M&A, and that the new group name marked a restart with over 1,300 employees.
Business model
Visional is a pure holding company whose stated business is management support for its subsidiaries; operating revenue is generated by the group companies, principally through internet recruiting platforms and SaaS/cloud products (BizReach direct recruiting site, HRMOS human-capital platform, ビズリーチ・キャンパス, スタンバイ job search engine), plus M&A matching (M&Aサクシード), logistics DX (トラボックス) and cybersecurity (yamory vulnerability management cloud).
Group revenue comes from internet services: the BizReach site pioneered a job-seeker-paid (求職者課金型) model in Japan alongside employer/direct-recruiting fees, with subscription SaaS products such as HRMOS and the yamory vulnerability management cloud, and marketplace/matching services for M&A and logistics.
Traction
Group consolidated revenue was 66,146 million yen for the fiscal year ended July 2024 and 80,161 million yen for the fiscal year ended July 2025, with consolidated operating profit of 17,837 million yen and net income of 12,990 million yen in FY2024. Headcount grew from more than 1,300 employees at the time of the 2019 group-structure announcement to 1,821 consolidated employees as of 2022-07-31 and 2,808 as of 2025-07-31 (including temporary staff). Visional's market capitalisation at its IPO opening price was 254,476 million yen.
Latest developments
The company reported consolidated revenue of 80,161 million yen for the fiscal year ended July 2025 and 2,808 employees as of 2025-07-31. Its yamory vulnerability management cloud continued product expansion in 2026, adding support for detecting vulnerabilities outside the scope of Windows Update and cloud asset scanning for AWS Lambda, and announcing customer adoptions including DOWAセミコンダクター秋田 and フォトクリエイト.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Visional is a listed Japanese internet group whose BizReach service is credited with introducing and popularising the "direct recruiting" concept in the Japanese hiring market, and whose subsidiary トラボックス operates one of Japan's largest logistics data/DX platforms.
The group combines a holding-company structure that delegates authority to operating subsidiaries with an in-house incubation company dedicated to new business creation and active use of M&A, allowing expansion from its core HR Tech platforms into adjacent domains such as business-succession M&A, logistics DX and cybersecurity.
Technology
Products are internet platforms and cloud software: the HRMOS human-capital data platform covering hiring, placement, development and evaluation data; matching platforms for recruiting and M&A; a job search engine (スタンバイ); the トラボックス logistics data platform; and yamory, a vulnerability management cloud that scans open-source and cloud assets (including AWS Lambda coverage and detection of vulnerabilities outside Windows Update scope).
Go-to-market
The group sells directly to corporate customers and reaches individual users through large-scale consumer marketing, including long-running national TV advertising for BizReach; new business lines are built internally through an incubation company and expanded through acquisitions such as トラボックス.
Employers and corporate HR departments recruiting mid-career and immediately deployable talent, companies adopting HR SaaS and vulnerability management software, mid-market business owners facing succession issues seeking M&A counterparties, logistics operators, and individual job seekers and university students.
Geography
Headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo; subsidiary BizReach maintains offices in Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Shizuoka and Hiroshima in addition to the Tokyo head office.
