Update: The M&A fee survey is now closed, and the results from 470+ investment bankers and advisors have been published in the 2017 M&A Fee Guide now available.
Information about M&A advisory fees can be surprisingly difficult to track down. The lack of transparency makes it tough for M&A professionals to assess their own fees relative to their peers or learn about different types of fee structures they might not have considered.
Without an authoritative, up-to-date source of data on average cost structures, how can buyers and sellers make informed decisions about what is being charged and why?
That’s why Firmex teamed up with Divestopedia last year to publish the groundbreaking research report into M&A advisor fee structures within North America: Merger and Acquisition Fee Guide 2016.
A Must-Read on Negotiating Fees
To whet your appetite for all things fees, the good folks over at Divestopedia recently published a tremendously useful article on “How to Structure the Right Investment Banking Engagement Letter” with detailed information on the nuances of success fees and negotiating a fee structure.
