Читать книгу Selling Your Startup - Alejandro Cremades - Страница 28

Investment bankers can do a lot of things in finance. They can act as financial advisors, prepare prospectuses, aid in US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) paperwork when filing for an IPO, and advise acquirers on the best ways to structure purchases of other companies, helping them find the money to do so.

When it comes to the sell side of M&A, investment bankers can help you value your company, advise you on terms and deal structures, negotiate on your behalf, and help pitch and sell your business to other companies.

In essence, an investment banker is like an agent or broker who matches buyers and sellers and financiers for corporations.
