How an Investment Banker Really Works

Many of us already have a good idea of what an investment bank is, but how they differ from a business broker or other firms specializing in mergers and acquisitions may not be so clear.

How does the transaction process work, and how are you—the owner—involved? What are some of the common misconceptions about working with an investment bank? For answers to these and other questions, we turn to Ann Hanna, Managing Director of Schenck M & A Solutions. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss on this edition of “Deal Talk.”
