The misconception that “medical corporations cannot relocate

Many judicial scriveners and tax accountants, as well as sole practitioners and business owners, believe that it is impossible to move the head office of a medical corporation to another prefecture.

In fact, some of them may have experienced being flatly refused by the regulatory authorities, saying, “That is difficult.

However, by law, medical corporations can relocate to any prefecture in Japan.

There is no prohibition or in principle disapproval.

Then why is there a widespread misconception that they cannot relocate?

It is because the administrative examination is “careful” and “has its own criteria.

In other words, it is not legally NG, but if the form, procedure, and actual conditions are not in order, it will not be easily passed.

This is the cause of many misunderstandings in the field.

The real issues are “lack of preparation” and “administrative response.

The following hurdles must be cleared in order to relocate a medical corporation in a rural area to a desired location such as Tokyo, Osaka, or Nagoya.

• Appropriateness of the business plan and medical treatment system after relocation
• Consistency with the medical demand and regional characteristics of the new location
• Appropriateness of the composition of board members and employees
• Cooperation between the regulatory authorities at the old location and those at the new location

With these carefully developed and compelling documents, approval of the relocation and change of articles of incorporation is a realistic possibility.

Solution: Logical Preparation x Experienced Assistance

It is natural to feel that “the administrative barriers are high.”

However, the many successful cases we have conducted have proven that– “the barriers are high.

With proper preparation and proper explanation, it is possible to relocate to the desired area.

The specific solutions we propose are as follows

(1) A close examination of the current Articles of Incorporation and identification of items that need to be changed.

(2) Develop a medical business plan for the new head office location

3. review of board members and employees (in accordance with the medical care law)

(4) Design a story that communicates the rationality and public interest of the relocation

(5) Preliminary discussion and coordination with the regulatory authorities at the new location

By preparing these items in a legally correct manner and taking into account the decision criteria of the government, the relocation and change of articles of incorporation will proceed smoothly.

Finally, I would like to say to you who are worried

To all judicial scriveners and tax accountants who have been told by supervisory authorities that “it is difficult” and are feeling discouraged.

To medical practitioners and business owners who are trying to put the brakes on their dreams.
