"I am very satisfied with the services provided by Mergium Advisors. Luis made the process seamless and ensured success during the entire process. He provided his services throughtout the sale of my company and provided an honest and accurate representation of the value our company held. He ensured buyers in our market were presented with the best information to entice potential buyers to see the value of my company. Luis is very detailed oriented and was steadfast in finding a quality fit for my selling process. I am pleased with the results and would recommend his services".

Testimonial from the managing member of Speech Works Pediatric Therapy - Ms. Karen Horton:

"Luis and I worked together on the sale of my pediatric therapy practice. I found him to be honest, knowledgeable, and attentive to the needs of both the buyer and myself as the seller. Luis brings incredible value to both sides of the transaction, and I always felt comfortable with every step in the sale process. I often felt that on many occasions he was an advocate and a teacher since this process can be emotional and overwhelming. Having the unique experience of working with Luis, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is considering selling their business."
