We associate with investment banks for identification of the investors our small and medium enterprises for equity investment. The network of investors of the investment banks with deep insight into their investment preferences can help in quicker closure of the assignments.

MOU:
Apohan invites your investment bank to sign an MOU for mutual cooperation in quick closure of merger and acquisition deals.
Exclusivity:
Apohan has maximum number of sell-side mandates, the selling businesses would require a wide variety of investors as per their preference. Also, an investor may have specific preference for investment ticket size, location, sector, etc. Similarly, an investment bank may be specialised in particular function or sector. Exclusive engagement would handicap Apohan’s capability to explore the most attractive investors for the business. Hence, Apohan does not get associated with anyone investment banker as their exclusive agents.
Also, the engagement of our client with an investment banker either as the advisor of the investor or as the joint advisor of the seller with Apohan would not be exclusive right in the beginning. It will be non exclusive till the buyer and seller agree in-principle and in writing for a serious deal interest. The moment or stage when the agreement with the investment banker and the investor would become exclusive will be agreed in the mutual NDA.
