Corporate Finance Advisory Branch

Would you rather represent a global corporate finance advisory firm or setup your own firm / brand? I am based in Turkey, have the network and closed 2 deals in the past 12 months as an independent advisor. Now considering to switch to corporate finance advisory full time.

"AbrahamGrinzaid" Transactions for a boutique firm are small in the range of 10M to 100M.

At that level, you can likely win the mandate and run the deal independently. The only reasons you need to become part of something larger is if you need to:

  1. Tout access to private equity or foreign strategics

  2. Compete in bake offs and demonstrate industry or vertical expertise
