This statistic illustrates the advisory fee structures for successful merger and acquisitions according to deal makers worldwide in 2017, 2018 and 2019. As can be seen most advisors on merger and acquisition (M&A) deals use either a scaled percentage structure or simple percentage structure.

For a scaled percentage structure the advisor sets a base-level success fee for the initial deal valuation. If the completed deal go over this initial valuation a scaled fee is added. For example if an initial valuation of a deal was set at ** million dollars and earned a *** percent fee, the next *** million may earn *% and the next *** million may earn ***%. Using this structure arguably aligns the investment banker or advisors interests with the seller, rewarding both parties for a higher deal value.
