Sell-side meaning you are working on behalf of a seller, could be for an M&A transaction, debt offering, equity raise, strategic alternatives etc.

For example, XYZ company wants to sell themselves (or they have an offer from a buyer) so they hire an investment bank to help them evaluate the offer. If a company raises debt or equity, then they will hire an investment bank. These are sellside mandates.

Buyside mandates are the opposite, when you work on behalf of the buyside. For example, advising a company or PE firm when they are evaluating the acquisition of a company.
