53 Certified Tax Corporations Registered with the M&A Support Institution System [2026 Edition] – M&A Succeed

News Highlights

The 2026 edition of M&A Succeed has released a list of 53 tax corporations registered with the M&A Support Institution System. This highlights the importance for healthcare facility managers facing succession issues to consider third-party succession as an option early on, rather than closure or廃業 (haigyō – ceasing business). Particularly for directors and presidents around age 60, preparing over 5-10 year periods requires leveraging specialized advisors focused on the medical industry.

M&A Medical Editorial Department’s Perspective

The list of 53 tax corporations registered with the M&A Support Institution System prompts concrete actions beyond the abstract concept of “succession issues” in healthcare facility business succession. While previously the listing of M&A support institutions was primarily led by financial institutions and M&A intermediaries, the registration of tax corporations suggests a trend where tax and financial experts are increasingly involved in the business succession process in a more formalized manner. For example, in the case of medical corporations, complex tax and accounting procedures and the utilization of organizational restructuring tax systems are indispensable. The listing of tax corporations with this expertise can serve as a new standard for healthcare facility managers in selecting reliable partners. The number 53 indicates a wide range of options while also suggesting the necessity of identifying the most suitable expert for one’s own situation.

If your institution’s director or president is around 60 years old and does not yet have a concrete successor, or if a successor candidate exists but you are concerned about the transfer of management rights or changes in executive positions, this list can be a catalyst to take the first step towards business succession.
