Middle-market investment banking explained by process rather than mystique. Positioning a business for sale, running a competitive process, valuation and deal structure, mapping a buyer universe, and the specific places transactions die. Each episode takes one stage and walks through what actually happens and why — the diligence question that reprices a deal, the earnout that satisfies nobody, the buyer who was never real. Written for owners approaching a transaction and the advisors guiding them. Five or six minutes an episode, no jargon for its own sake. Topics include preparing a business for sale, running a competitive process, valuation and comparables, deal structure and consideration mix, buyer universe mapping, quality of earnings, and the specific places transactions die. Produced by InvestmentBank.com, middle-market investment banking. Full details, services and further reading at https://investmentbank.com
