Lecture at Seminar Hosted by the Medical Management Consultants Association | Keisuke Komura – mbp

News Highlights

At a seminar hosted by the Medical Management Consultants Association, Keisuke Komura lectured on the value of third-party succession for successor issues. He recommended early consideration over a 5-10 year span starting around age 60, and the utilization of healthcare industry-specialized advisors as alternatives to closure or business cessation.

Perspective from M&A Medical Editorial Department

Mr. Komura’s lecture is significant in that it clearly positions “third-party succession” as a realistic solution alongside the options of “closure or business cessation” for the universal challenge faced by medical institutions: the lack of successors. The point that directors and presidents should plan for a 10-year preparation period starting around age 60 is particularly concrete, considering the current reality that successor development takes time. This will serve as an opportunity to make management recognize that medical M&A is not merely a “sale” but a “business succession” for the continuation of operations and the maintenance of the regional medical provision system. The engagement of healthcare industry-specialized advisors is indispensable for understanding complex medical regulations and remuneration systems and achieving appropriate matching, suggesting the importance of the role of specialized intermediaries like M&A Medical.

If You Feel “Should I Consult Too?”

Medical institution managers and directors who have vague anxieties such as “I need to think about a successor soon, but I don’t know what to do” or “I’m considering closing down, but I’m worried about the impact on the region” should consider consulting with specialists based on the content of this lecture. This is a timely moment to do so. In particular, those who are over 60 or will be reaching 60 in the near future may find a path other than closure by exploring the possibility of early third-party succession.
