INTRODUCTION
Original Definition: A Merchant Bank is a British term for a bank providing various
financial services such as accepting bills arising out of trade, providing advice on
acquisitions, mergers, foreign exchange, underwriting new issues, and portfolio
management.
The Focus Definition: A Merchant Bank can be generally described as a financial services
company with a private equity investment arm offering investment banking and ancillary
services as well. Because a merchant bank acts not only as an advisor and broker but also
as a principal, a merchant bank has a longer term approach than a typical investment bank
and is highly concerned with the viability of each investment opportunity and providing
the right advice for a strong partnership with each client company.
In banking, a merchant bank is a traditional term for an Investment Bank. It can also be
used to describe the private equity activities of banking. This article is about the history of
banking as developed by merchants, from the Middle Ages onwards.
Amidst the swift changes sweeping the financial world, Merchant Banking has emerged as
an indispensable financial advisory package. Merchant banking is a service-oriented
function that transfers capital from those who own to those who can use it. They try to
identify the needs of the investors & corporate sector & advice entrepreneurs what to do to
be successful.
The merchant banking has been defined as to what a merchant banker does. A merchant
Banker has been defined by Securities Exchange Board Of India (Merchant Banker) rules,
1992, as “Any person who is engaged in the business of issue management either by
making arrangements regarding selling, buying or subscribing to securities or acting as
manager, consultant, advisor or rendering corporate advisory services in relation to such
issue managemen
The Jews could not hold land in Italy, so they entered the great trading piazzas and halls of
Lombardy, along side the local traders, and set up their benches to trade in crops. They had one
great advantage over the locals.
Christians were strictly forbidden the sin of usury. The Jewish newcomers, on the other hand, could
lend to farmers against crops in the field, a high-risk loan at what would have been considered
usurious rates by the Church, but did not bind the Jews. In this way they could secure the grain sale
rights against the eventual harvest. They then began to advance against the delivery of grain shipped
to distant ports. In both cases they made their profit from the present discount against the future
price. This two-handed trade was time consuming and soon there arose a class of merchants, who
were trading grain debt instead of grain.
Merchant Banking, as the term has evolved in Europe from the 18th century to today,
pertained to an individual or a banking house whose primary function was to facilitate the
business process between a product and the financial requirements for its development.
Merchant banking services span from the earliest negotiations from a transaction to its
actual consummation between buyer and seller.
In particular, the merchant banker acted as a capital sources whose primary activity was
directed towards a commodity trader/cargo owner who was involved in the buying, selling,
and shipping of goods. The role of the merchant banker, who had the expertise to
understand a particular transaction, was to arrange the necessary capital and ensure that the
transaction would ultimately produce "collectable" profits. Often, the merchant banker also
became involved in the actual negotiations between a buyer and seller in a transaction.
Since the 18th century, the term merchant banker has, therefore, been considerably
broadened to include a composite of modern day skills. These skills include those inherent
in an entrepreneur, a management advisor, a commercial and/or investment banker plus
that of a transaction broker. Today a merchant banker is who has the ability to merchandise
-- that is, create or expands a need -- and fulfill capital requirements. The modern European
merchant bank, in many ways, reflects the early activities and breadth of services of the
colonial trading companies.
Most companies that come to a U.S. merchant bank are looking to increase their
financial stability or satisfy a particular, immediate capital need.
Professional merchant bankers must have: 1) an understanding of the product, its industry
and operational management; 2) an ability to raise capital which might or might not be
one's own (originally merchant bankers supplied their own capital and thereby took an
equity interest in the transaction); 3) and most importantly, effective skills in concluding a
transaction - the actual sale of the product and the collection of profit. Some people might
question whether or not there are many individuals or organizations that have the abilities
to fulfill all three areas of expertise.
-Their primary sources of income are PIPE (Private Investment In Public Entities)
financings and international trade.
-Their secondary income sources are consulting, Mergers & Acquisitions help and
financial market speculation.
-Because they do not invest against collateral, they take far greater risks than traditional
banks.
-Because they are private, do not take money from the public and are international in scope,
they are not regulated.
-Anyone considering dealing with any merchant bank should investigate the bank and its
managers before seeking their help.
-The reason that businesses should develop a working relationship with a merchant bank
is that they have more money than venture capitalists. Their advice tends to be more
pragmatic than venture capitalists.
It would help us to develop the ability to study the functioning of Merchant Banking
in India & learn & apply multidisciplinary concepts, tools & techniques to solve
vital problems.
It familiarizes with the various services provided by Merchant Bankers.
They would help us to draw comparison between public & private sector companies
engaged in Merchant Banking activities.
Based upon the comparison, it would help us to determine which sector has more
growth potential & where should one invest his/her funds to maximize the return at
minimum risk.
MERCHANT BANKING

similar activities in UK & USA. Currently Merchant Banking activity has mushroomed in
the Indian capital market with both public & private sector settings up their respective

Companies raise capital by issuing securities in the market. Merchant bankers act as
intermediaries between the issuers of capital and the ultimate investors who purchase these
securities.
Merchant banking… is the financial intermediation that matches the entities that need
capital and those that have capital. It is a function that facilitates the low of capital in the
market.
Public Sector: - Commercial banks (24), Financial Institutions (6), State Institutions (4)
Private sector: - International bankers (10), Banks (10), finance & investment (231)
Placement and distribution- The merchant banker helps in distributing various securities
like equity shares, debt instruments, mutual fund products, fixed deposits, insurance products,
commercial paper to name a few. The distribution network of the merchant banker can be classified
as institutional and retail in nature. The institutional network consists of mutual funds, foreign
institutional investors, private equity funds, pension funds, financial institutions etc. The size of
such a network represents the wholesale reach of the merchant banker. The retail network depends
on networking with investors.
Issue Management:
Management of issue involves marketing of corporate securities viz. equity shares, preference
shares and debentures or bonds by offering them to public. Merchant banks act as an intermediary
whose main job is to transfer capital from those who own it to those who need it. After taking action
as per SEBI guidelines, the merchant banker arranges a meeting with company representatives and
advertising agents to finalize
Arrangements relating to date of opening and closing of issue, registration of prospectus, launching
publicity campaign and fixing date of board meeting to approve and sign prospectus and pass the
necessary resolutions. Pricing of issues is done by the companies in consultant with the merchant
bankers.
Financial structuring includes determining the right debt-equity ratio and gearing ratio for
the client; the appropriate capital structure theory is also framed. Merchant bankers also explore
the refinancing alternatives of the client, and evaluate cheaper sources of funds. Another area of
advice is rehabilitation and turnaround management. In case of sick units, merchant bankers may
design a revival package in coordination with banks and financial institutions. Risk management is
another area where advice from a merchant banker is sought. He advises the client on different
hedging strategies and suggests the appropriate strategy.
In order to meet the growing demand for broad-based finacial services from the corporate
sector more effectively, the merchant banking division of the nationalise banks have stated

New York, Feb 17 08 /PR Newswire/ Emissary Capital, LLC A merchant bank based in
New York City and specializing in Indian Companies, is a pioneer firm leading the charge
for Indian Companies to obtain stock market listings in the U.S and European investors in
conjunction with a U.S public company with market listing. This turns a fast growing
Indian company into U.S public company with the prestige and capability to raise money
from U.S and European institutional investors. Focus on small and medium enterprises
(SMEs). SMEs are dynamic force in India fall under this category.
India’s strength in Information Technology sector is well known, but it is India’s fast
growing manufacturing sector, driven by approximately three million SME`s in sectors
ranging from auto components to industrial goods, that is rapidly India a leading global
manufacturing hub. Debt Financing is not the answer for SME`s. There seems to an across
the board consensus that Indian SME`s have not been able to fully tap their potential and
keep pace with India’s growth because of their inability to access greater sources of
financing. For vast majority of Indian SME`s, the high domestic interest rate regime (prime
rate of 12.75% to 13.25%) continues to be a substantial hindrance. Furthermore, the ability
to raise debt financing outside India (typically referred to as External Commercial
Borrowings (ECBs) is strictly regulated by RBI. No IPO boom for Indian SMEs in Indian
stock markets. The Indian stock markets including the BSE & NSE have essentially
ignored robust Indian SMEs. The avg. size of Indian IPO rose to approximately $100
million in 2017-09. Meanwhile smaller Indian companies seeking to raise funds of less
than that amount have found it increasingly difficult to raise funds through Indian Stock
Markets listings.
According to SEBI only 104 companies raised capital in the range of $2.5 million to $125
million in March 2007 fiscal year. No companies have raised money in the $1.25 million
to $2.5 million range since April 2007. Finally, only 52 companies have been able to raise
funds in the range of $2.5 million to $125 million in March 2017 fiscal year. There are few
smaller Indian IPOs because Indian merchant bankers prefer to work on bigger IPOs that
earn them bigger, as the work required for a small IPO compared to a large IPO is relatively
the same. Also the regional stock exchanges, where the majority of SMEs would list
themselves if possible, face stiff competition from India’s two major stock exchanges BSE
& NSE.
Emissary Capital Ltd. Is a full service merchant banking firm which specializes in assisting
fast growing Indian companies in obtaining financing and U.S stock market listings as well
as identifying and advising on mergers & acquisitions transactions for such companies.
The main focus of the study would be on functioning of the Merchant Banking companies.
The study would have information and details of Merchant Banking of public sector and
private sector companies and then an analysis will be done on the collected information
and finally a comparison between these two categories will be done. After comparison it
would be find out which category has more growth potential in present scenario as well as
in future.
CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE STUDY
Amidst the swift changes sweeping the financial world, Merchant Banking has emerged as
an indispensable financial advisory package. Merchant banking is a service-oriented
function that transfers capital from those who own to those who can use it. They try to
identify the needs of the investors & corporate sector & advice entrepreneurs what to do to
be successful. New players are entering in this field day by day. Merchant Banking in
India has a great demand over the globe. So many companies in India are trying their hands
in this field. Some companies have built their strong image and some are still in process to
leave their mark in the international market.
LITERATURE REVIEW
A Few of literature are Form of banking where the bank arranges credit financing, but does
not hold the loans in its investment portfolio to maturity. A merchant bank invests its own
capital in leveraged buyouts, corporate acquisitions, and other structured finance
transactions. Merchant banking is a fee based business, where the bank assumes market
risk but no long-term credit risk. A common form of banking in Europe, merchant banking
is gaining acceptance in the United States, as more banks originate commercial loans and
then sell them to investors rather than hold the loans as portfolio investments. A banque
d'affaire is a French merchant bank, which has more powers than its British counterpart.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act allows financial holding companies, a type of Bank Holding
Company created by the act, to engage in merchant banking activities.
Okay so you want to accept credit cards from your customers, and are interested in
establishing a merchant account. Whether you own a brick-and-mortar retail store, mail
order outlet, or internet shopping operation, there are a few things to consider when
choosing a credit card processing provider.
First of all, you should make a list of several providers that offer the features you want, and
then compare the variable fees that may differ depending on the company you deal with.
These fees include things like set-up, cancellation, and monthly minimum, and may be
negotiable based on your unique circumstances.
Once you have determined what your business will be charged for its merchant account,
it’s often a good idea to do a few sample calculations to work out your total credit card
processing costs during a good, bad, and average month.
Finally, you should read and double-check the contract, including small print and detailed
terms. Don’t sign anything until you are confident that you understand all the fees,
minimums, termination clauses, and other details. It’s important to keep in mind that
merchant account providers won’t go over every single point with every single customer,
and that it is ultimately your responsibility to read and understand the terms.
