According to a recent study, 91% of business failures are related to influences that management could control, and 52% are internally generated problems that management did not control.
What truly sets David apart is not only his extensive knowledge but also his exceptional communication
skills. Throughout the entire journey, he kept us informed at every step, patiently addressing our concerns
and providing valuable guidance. His ability to translate complex financial details into understandable
terms made the entire process transparent and accessible.
In our recent healthcare M&A transaction, where I was on the buying side, David's role was crucial. Representing the sellers, he excelled in organizing and expediting the due diligence process, ensuring everything progressed smoothly and efficiently. His expertise in managing these critical stages was evident and greatly appreciated.
Moreover, David's ability to clearly demonstrate the growth potential of the merger was exceptional.

Hiring Nissen Consultants started as an exercise toward growth and development and ended with the successful sale of our business. The thought of expanding our company with the intent to sell while running the business was overwhelming, but David provided the foundation to make it all possible. David directed the process, timeline, categories and organized information to allow us, and equally important, others, to see our company with a renewed intention. This allowed us to focus on current demands while supplying information requested in a timely manner. To be clear, it required a lot of effort and would have been far more stressful in comparison without David's guidance and expertise. As David guided us from the planning stage to action steps he counseled us to have him concurrently promote the sale of the company. As interest developed and requests for NDA's came in, we could quickly respond with confidence knowing we had done our due diligence. Before long our ultimate goal of selling became a reality. It is truly remarkable what directed effort and knowledgeable people can accomplish. Nissen Consultants was the driving force for our positive and timely outcome.
