Can anyone explain the difference between an IB and consulting/advisory firm?
Often times I read the news and see "company x was the financial advisor on transaction y for company z."
Is the main difference between an advisory firm and an IBD simply the IBD is able to raise capital for company x AND provide advisory services, while the other can only provide advisory services?
As you could probably tell by now my knowledge in these areas are grey and I'm having a bit of a hard time to really understand the role of the parties involved in an M&A deal.
Yes, you're right. For example, a bank like Citi will be able to provide advisory services AND financing (which, depending on deal size, will likely be syndicated - other banks will chip in) and an independent advisory firm like Greenhill won't provide financing, just advice.
Thank you!
Sure. Often, a bank will only be hired for the M&A advisory BECAUSE they're providing the financing for the deal
Why do you want to do M & A if you don't know what it is?
Is it because it is the Goldman Sachs?
