Outsourced M&A Research and Support/CIM Drafting

Hey all,
I was approached by a friend from a boutique (read "small") M&A shop asking about how they might outsource the drafting of a CIM. They appear to be reasonably busy but don't want to hire. Are there any reputable businesses that will draft a CIM for a fee? Former bankers? Thoughts and suggestions are welcome...
Thx.

He should reach out to one of their former junior employees who does not currently work in the industry and offer a fee.

He presumably has and struck out...

Did he mention what they're willing to offer? Haha

As mentioned client confidentiality is a key issue, but also the potential detrimental effects it can have on the reputation of the firm if the client finds out. On a live deal, they are paying you as the investment bank the retainer/succession fees to assist them with the process in entirety. How do you justify your value proposition if you're outsourcing majority of the work to a third party? Not to mention all the legal hurdles that may come along if the deal blows up. If I were your friend, I would stay away.

I will start off by apologizing if this isn't the right location for this post. I tried to search for similar topics, but couldn't find anything for my specific questions. I am in the process of starting an embroidery company. The plan is to embroider hats, shirts, patches, etc. Currently, I solely have done design work for a lot of clients who have gotten my designs embroidered. I would like to start doing my own embroidering, but would like to build a clientele base prior to spending the money on the necessary equipment. For now I would like to outsource all my embroidering needs to another company, but do no know the legalities behind it. If a client sends me a design and I just send it to the embroidery company, I wouldn't really play a role other than essentially being a middleman.

My main questions are, how do I do this legally? Do I need to let a client know that the embroidery work isn't mine, but another company? Do I need to let the embroidery company know that I am selling their product to someone else, but under my name?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
