In this part, we will examine the issues an investment banker deals with on a daily basis when assisting a company in its strategic decisions which include:

organising a group;

• launching an IPO;¹
• selling assets, a subsidiary or the company;
• merging or demerging;
• restructuring and more.

We do hope that our readers will not spend whole nights on these topics, unlike investment bankers!

The latter will also find in this part some ideas on the financing of start-ups. Perhaps not their cup of tea unless they have to reinvent themselves!

As you will soon realise, financial engineering raises and solves many questions of corporate governance.
