Your basis for
selecting the right investment banker should be founded in solid due diligence,
to wit:
-
How many
transactions essentially similar to your transaction (i.e.: projects in the
same industry, size and/or market) has the investment banking firm completed
in the last 12 months? Verify it.
-
How long did
it take the investment banking firm to complete these placements?
-
Was the
investment banker the lead investment banker or one of the firms that sold a
portion of the issue? You want the lead investment banker when all
else fails.
-
Are the fees
structured for payment based upon performance?
-
How much money
do they really need to offset their expenses?
-
What related
investment product types can the firm work with? (these would include
bonus depreciation expense allowance-based preferred equity floats,
tax-credit floats and grants)
Compare them all
and see what you have. If you aren't sure then contact Rainmaker Marketing
Corporation and speak to one of our capital finance consultants. Your
initial consultation is free and each and every question you have will receive
