In our previous posts, we've delved into how being part of a dealmaking network significantly enhances your business opportunities, whether you're an independent dealmaker or part of a small team. It's clear that the growth of profits in investment banking is closely linked to the power of networking. And what about being part of a dealmaking ecosystem?
The power of being part of a dealmaking ecosystem
Networking is a key aspect of the Finalis ecosystem, one built to provide knowledge, collaboration, and where the necessary tools converge to fulfill your needs and amplify your activities in the investment banking sector. Finalis’ network provides these three pillars so that members can focus their time and resources on what they do best:
- Dealmaking data to boost opportunities (provided via our Finalis Marketplace)
- Networking (provided via Finalis Directory and Cap Intro)
- Tools, resources and services accessible with Finalis Perks
Given that we have already covered how to access dealmaking data and take advantage of networking, in this blog post we will introduce our Perks section, to show just how you can take your dealmaking process to the next level.
How to access the right tools and the right services?
In the day-to-day of dealmaking, there are these inherent needs:
A) streamlining information search processes to identify new opportunities;
B) preparing for exams and acquiring licenses;
C) accelerating your firm's visibility through effective branding and marketing strategies;
D) utilizing tools to streamline operations and processes.
We understand this because we've experienced it ourselves. Finding quality tools and services takes time and several iterations, which also involve spending money and resources.
In this regard, Finalis' ecosystem offers its members a Perks section where they can access curated options to meet their daily needs, with discounts and direct communication with providers.
