Professional Services Not Offered by This Platform
The following professional services are outside the scope of InvestmentBank.com. Each requires engagement of a separately licensed professional.

No Tax Advice
The platform does not provide tax advice, tax planning opinions, tax return preparation, or guidance on the tax consequences of any transaction. All tax matters require a qualified CPA or tax attorney.
No Accounting Advice
The platform does not provide accounting opinions, financial statement audits, GAAP or IFRS certifications, or any attest service. Financial statements require preparation by a qualified CPA.
No Business Valuation

No Fairness Opinion
The platform does not issue fairness opinions in connection with mergers, acquisitions, or any other transaction. Fairness opinions require a qualified investment banking firm.
AI Outputs Are Not Professional Opinions
AI-assisted outputs that resemble financial analyses, legal summaries, or accounting presentations are workflow drafts only. They are not professional opinions and must be reviewed before use.
Why These Limitations Are Critical to Understand
Capital transactions involve complex, interdependent legal, tax, accounting, and financial considerations. The documents and materials associated with a transaction — purchase agreements, disclosure schedules, tax structuring memos, audited financials, fairness opinions, and related materials — each require specific licensed professionals to prepare or certify. Errors in these areas can expose transaction parties to significant legal liability, tax penalties, accounting restatements, or regulatory enforcement.
InvestmentBank.com provides software tools that help deal teams organize, draft, and structure the materials they will bring to their qualified professionals. When the platform’s AI tools generate a section of a deal summary that touches on tax structure, legal terms, or financial metrics, that output reflects a workflow draft based on input documents and recognized formats — not a professional opinion. The output may contain errors, may not reflect current law or regulation, and is not prepared by or reviewed by a licensed attorney, CPA, tax adviser, or financial professional.
Users should assume that any platform output touching on legal, tax, accounting, or valuation subject matter requires review and validation by the appropriate licensed professional before it is used in any transaction, shared with any counterparty, filed with any regulator, or relied upon for any decision. This is not a formality: it is a substantive requirement for protecting transaction parties.
The platform does not create any attorney-client relationship, accountant-client relationship, or any other professional-client relationship with any user. Engaging a professional through a separate firm after using the platform does not retroactively make the platform a part of that professional relationship.
Which Professionals to Engage and When
Different stages of a transaction require different licensed professionals. InvestmentBank.com can help you organize materials before and between engagements, but cannot substitute for any of the following roles.
- Licensed attorney: transaction structuring, purchase agreement negotiation, regulatory filings, legal due diligence
- CPA or accounting firm: financial statement preparation, audit, tax compliance, accounting opinions
- Tax counsel: tax structuring, transaction tax opinions, cross-border tax considerations
- Credentialed appraiser: business valuation, asset appraisal, purchase price allocation
- Registered broker-dealer or investment banking firm: fairness opinions, M&A advisory, securities placement
- Registered investment adviser: investment recommendations, suitability assessments, portfolio advice

Legal, Tax, and Accounting Disclosure FAQ
Can I use the platform to draft a purchase agreement or term sheet?
No. The platform does not provide legal document drafting services. Any legal agreement — including term sheets, purchase agreements, disclosure schedules, or ancillary documents — must be prepared and reviewed by licensed legal counsel.
Does the platform’s AI analyze tax implications of a transaction?
AI tools may reference tax-related concepts in workflow drafts based on input documents. This does not constitute tax advice. All tax implications of any transaction must be analyzed by a qualified CPA or tax attorney.
Can I use an AI-generated financial summary in lieu of audited financials?
No. AI-assisted financial summaries are workflow drafts for internal organization. Audited financial statements require preparation and certification by a licensed CPA firm in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
Does the platform provide a valuation of my business?
No. The platform does not issue business valuations or appraisals. Any valuation output from AI tools is a workflow estimate based on your inputs and is not a certified appraisal. Formal valuations require a credentialed appraiser.
If I use the platform to prepare board materials, is that sufficient for a board approval process?
Board materials prepared using the platform are workflow drafts. The adequacy of board materials for any specific governance or legal purpose must be determined by qualified legal counsel familiar with your jurisdiction and corporate structure.
Does using the platform create any professional relationship?
No. Platform use creates a software subscription relationship governed by the Terms of Service. It does not create an attorney-client relationship, accountant-client relationship, adviser-client relationship, or any other professional-client relationship.
