What is a Confidential Information Memorandum?

Drafted by an advisory Merger and Acquisition company or investment banker, this document is used in the selling process, in order to advertise a business.

This is a crucial document as it carries the information needed for a prospective buyer to consider purchase, and also the terms of purchase to be negotiated. It thus does not just vie to sell, however attempts to increase the value of sale through an exemplary pitch.
