Sharing Among the Banks

Abstract

Equitable treatment among banks is vital to any plan. It is easy to say, not always easy to define, particularly where inherent inequalities arise from the underlying situation, not from the plan. Domestic banks or those with a major local branch naturally have advantages over banks lending from outside the country; banks with active corporate finance departments, or familiar with the company’s more saleable assets and with interested buyers, are at an advantage over banks which lack this expertise. And big banks put more resources into researching or following up opportunities than small banks. These are facts which in no way depend on the details of a particular plan.
