News Highlights

Tsukiji-Hongo Tax Corporation has been featured in the Bungeishunju Mook “The Reader’s Digest for Successful Inheritance and Business Succession 2026.” The firm highlights specific schemes unique to medical corporations (such as transfer of membership interests, changes in members, and refund of funds), appropriate business valuation that comprehensively assesses medical practice profits, fixed assets, licenses, staff, and patient base, and the importance of post-succession follow-up. This addresses the complex challenges faced in the business succession of medical institutions.

M&A Medical Editorial Department’s Perspective

The feature of Tsukiji-Hongo Tax Corporation in Bungeishunju Mook, a publication reaching a general audience, discussing business succession with a focus on medical institutions, is a development that cannot be ignored by the management of medical corporations. The “schemes unique to medical corporations” pointed out by the firm, exemplified by the transfer of membership interests, involve a complex interplay of tax, legal, and medical regulatory laws, while balancing non-profit objectives and public interest contributions like regional healthcare. It is essential to conduct a business valuation that covers not just medical practice profits, but also the value of regional licenses, long-standing relationships with staff, and, most importantly, the maintenance and development of the patient base, from the perspective of continuing the medical care system, rather than mere asset succession. The success of business succession hinges on stable operation after the deal is closed, and the firm emphasizes the importance of accompanying support for a smooth transition to a new system, suggesting that M&A intermediaries are also required to build long-term support structures, not just focus on short-term deal closures.
