Successful Deal Interview No. 112 – Strike

News Highlights

The successful deal interview No. 112 released by Strike suggests the value of healthcare institutions facing succession issues choosing third-party succession rather than closure or廃業 (going out of business). It conveys the importance of early preparation over a 5-10 year span starting around age 60 for the chairman/director and hospital director, and that utilizing specialized advisors focused on the medical industry is key to smooth business succession.

Perspective from M&A Medical Editorial Department

This interview is noteworthy as a case that concretely demonstrates the effectiveness of “third-party succession” in the business succession of healthcare institutions. Successor absence is a universal challenge faced by many healthcare institutions, but this suggests a path to pass on the business to the next generation in a way that continues regional medical care, not just by closing down or going out of business, but through specialized intermediaries like Strike. In particular, the importance of preparing with a long-term perspective of 5-10 years starting around age 60 for the chairman/director and hospital director provides a concrete solution to the “time constraints” that many healthcare institution managers face. The utilization of medical-specialized M&A advisors is likely an indispensable element for enabling smooth succession, not only in finance and legal matters, but also by achieving matching that takes into account specific medical institution permits and characteristics of medical departments.
