M&A Medical Editorial Department’s Perspective

The future-oriented theme of “2025 Trends” reflects a high awareness of the pressing issue of “lack of successors” facing the healthcare industry, particularly medical institution management. It is significant that they not only present M&A as “one option” but also clearly articulate the “value of choosing third-party succession” in comparison to closure or cessation of business. For example, it can be inferred that they are suggesting concrete benefits unobtainable through business closure, such as maintaining the continuity of regional healthcare, securing employee employment, and realizing founder’s profits. Considering the scale and complexity of medical institutions, preparation over a 5-10 year period starting around age 60 might even be considered “late.” Especially for medical corporations, changing the chairperson and formulating a business succession plan take time, making early collaboration with specialists (such as medical M&A brokerage firms) indispensable.
