I am planning on going to graduate school and get my mba. I have been building and developing appartment buildings. I am thinking about changing careers and possibly going into investment banking. Is it diffiuclt to switch if you have no financial analyst expierence or previous Investment Banking analstst background. IB has alyways sounded interesting to me. But I know how difficult it is to get into. It is like a old boys club and extremely difficult now thesedays to transition into if you have no expierence or interships in from college.
If I have been running my own company, can someone get into investment banking?

Yes.
A number of investment banks have Summer internship programs for MBA students between their first and second years. If you do well in one of those Summer programs, they generally hire you once you graduate. Work experience is valued, especially if you can show that you are a deal maker (which owning your own management company would suggest).
The catch is that you do have to go to a top MBA school (as in top 10). And you have to do well, as the competition to get into the internship programs is stiff. It will come as no surprise than many of the MBA candidates that get in are finance majors.
