CB Holdings

What CB Holdings does

CB Healthcare Co., Ltd. (株式会社ＣＢヘルスケア), previously referenced as CB Holdings, is a Tokyo-based professional services firm founded in 1999 that specializes in M&A brokerage and hands-on management consulting for Japan's healthcare, nursing care, and welfare sectors. The company intermediates business succession and growth transactions across four core verticals: pharmacies, hospitals/clinics, nursing care facilities, and disability welfare providers. Its core product is M&A intermediation, supported by adjacent offerings that include pharmacist/physician succession consulting, community integrated care system development, on-site (hands-on or semi-resident) management consulting, HR system design, and an industry news/seminar information service. All services are delivered by domain-specialized consultants rather than via proprietary technology or software.

Revenue is generated through two streams: transaction-based fees on completed M&A deals in healthcare/nursing care/welfare, and professional services fees for consulting engagements such as business diagnostics, HR system development, and community care coordination. The company serves primarily independent operators and small-to-mid-market facility owners across Japan, with nationwide consultant coverage spanning Hokkaido/Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku/Shikoku, and Kyushu/Okinawa. Go-to-market is content-driven — seminars (live and archived), industry columns, downloadable materials, and a toll-free free consultation line (0120-987-460) feed enterprise field sales. CB Healthcare operates as part of the Fuyo Lease Group, with Fuyo General Lease Corporation (TSE Prime: 8424) as its parent, and in April 2026 underwent a CB Group reorganization and trade name change.
