What ABISA does

ABISA LLC is an independent healthcare consultancy founded in 2007 and headquartered in New York. The firm advises physicians and medical practice owners on the business side of medicine, providing strategic planning, financial projections, valuations, practice governance, succession planning, and transaction advisory across mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and Management Services Organization (MSO) formations. It serves three primary customer segments: independent physicians and medical practice owners (SMBs), healthcare-focused financial investors including private equity, hedge fund, venture capital, growth equity, and investment management firms, and hospital systems exploring joint ventures with physicians. Investor clients have been located across at least ten countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Turkey.

The firm operates without any proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI capability — its offering is professional services only. Its core technology is the consulting expertise of founder and CEO Nick Hernandez, whose credentials include US Naval Academy graduation, former US Marine Corps Captain service, dual MBAs from Wake Forest University, Board Certification in Healthcare Management, and Fellow status in the American College of Healthcare Executives. Marketing is conducted through conference presentations, published articles in the firm's "Reading Room," social media, and professional referrals.

ABISA makes money exclusively through professional consulting fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The firm has no funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed financial figures. Headcount remains at 1–10 employees, consistent with a boutique founder-led practice rather than a scaling consultancy. The business has operated continuously since 2007 with no recorded acquisitions, restructurings, or leadership transitions.
