INCENTRUM GROUP - what is a MERCHANT BANK and what should I prepare for interview?

Hey Monkeys,

I have an interview coming up with Incentrum Group, a merchant bank in NY. There is almost no information online (not even a single glassdoor review..) and I have zero experience with merchant bank interviews.

Can someone please shed some light on what the group is about (or merchant bank in general, I think it is a small merchant bank) and what I should do to prepare for an interview?

My interview had no technical questions and lasted about 30 minutes (20-25 them asking me and the rest they opened up for me to ask questions). Very friendly analyst. Asked follow ups about things I would say regarding the industry and my thoughts on a particular topic. They asked what companies I thought were doing well in the industry I follow.
