MBSL Bank provides specialized corporate advisory services
For Sri Lankan businesses:
Backed by the strength of the Bank of Ceylon, Merchant Bank of Sri
Lanka (MBSL) has grown in stature to be regarded today as a key player
in corporate finance and advisory services, providing stability and much
needed financial capital to Sri Lanka's corporate sector.
Guided by a cadre of consummate banking professionals with a wealth
of experience, MBSL has established itself as a frontrunner within
banking circles. The bank's cumulative intellectual capital of qualified
and experienced professionals has propelled the bank to offer specialist
services in corporate advisory services as well as capital markets and
trade and project finance.
Among these services, MBSL counts its corporate advisory service as
being a key component to its continued success. The financial services
organization's unblemished record of trust and integrity stand testament
to MBSL's success in this area. Within the scope of its advisory service
MBSL offers comprehensive advisory during all business transactions,
including pre-deal evaluation, which involves bidding strategies,
transaction structures, and valuation and negotiation.
Other components within this advisory service include but are not
limited to financial restructuring, where the bank assesses key issues
faced by the business, evaluates and determines the primary assumptions
for the transaction(s), as well as sale assistance.
This comprehensive and thorough service encompasses all activities
from the pre-sale stage up to and including post-sale closing, a
spokesperson for the bank says.
MBSL is also a leader in finance for start-up ventures, business
expansion and acquisitions across the board. The bank's financial acumen
and strength also lie in restructuring advisory services, where the bank
excels. Other services within this scope of activity include advisory
services on privatization of state entities, as well as large-scale
mergers and acquisitions.
MBSL also provides financial and management expertise and a
well-geared team of professionals who are ready to deliver a host of
services to start-up ventures as well as new businesses through the
provision of formulating business plans, conducting feasibility studies
on the viability of proposed ventures and in the preparation of
proposals.
To its immense credit, MBSL was recently instrumental in assisting a
noted public utilities company in restructuring its business processes
and practices and identifying revenue dropouts, resulting in minimized
overheads, improved sales through the identification of viable projects
that "contributed positively to the bottom line".
MBSL also deserves praise for its restructuring of a loss-making air
carrier, whereby the bank's assistance and advisory services has
resulted in a complete turnaround of the venture to make it a profitable
enterprise today.
Elaborating on the bank's continued focus on assisting Sri Lankan
businesses to grow and contribute to the growth of the economy, a
spokesperson for the bank said: "MBSL has and will continue to leverage
on its core competencies to provide the best in services to small,
medium and large corporate in Sri Lanka. We will continue to assist
these key players of our economy to grow and enrich the economic
landscape of our country".
