Not capital efficient.
IBs make peanuts compared to ads.
yea, but there's a reason why some firms use independent advisory services to limit additional costs due conflict of interest (e.g. that time i think BBs workers shared information between departments that should be siloed). considering how expensive selling and buying companies are for companies, and the fees paid out to IB firms, why don't they just have their own IB arm to do their M&A? by having an in house m&a arm they can probably better train deal-workers to access deals in a way that's better fit for their company, as opposed to a firm that does this for multiple companies.
You just invented corporate development
You are also overestimating the number of deals these companies do on a yearly basis. You would have staff sitting in their chairs doing practically nothing for a good portion of the year.
good point
f
it would be in house, and probably just for the company
Aka corporate development………
