How does an investment banker work with a business to obtain financing?
An investment banker has experience and contacts to know what might be available, what different lenders are looking for and their appetite for the business (or transaction) at a given time. They can help bridge the needs of the lenders and those needing financing. For this to work, your interests must be aligned with your investment banker’s. He or she has the responsibility to help you properly prepare to obtain the needed funds and to work with you throughout the life of your transaction. KEVIN J.
