All - I was wondering what the success fee would be for investment banks on raising capital/debt issuance on a deal in the $100M to $200M range (specifically for banks in Asia).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Reasonable success fee (for sale of business) paid by seller to investment banker? (Originally Posted: 05/18/2013)
What do you think would be the range of reasonable success fees in the following cases of a sale of a company (which transaction would be very very straightforward and not involve much due diligence at all)? -acquisition price of $20 mil? -acquisition price of $40 mil? -acquisition price of $60 mil? -acquisition price of $80 mil?
How big a shop are we talking about, here? Some place with sizeable overheads, or just a 3-man outfit in one city?
I mean a mid-market/boutique investment bank - one is a 12 person shop with 3 locations; another is a one location shop with 9 folks. The thing is - the deal ought to be relatively straightforward in terms of structuring and due diligence, and I think it needs to be a big factor in the fee for the banker... thanks
