About Our Grand Rapids Investment Banking Team

Our Grand Rapids office was established with the addition of the investment banking team from Charter Capital Partners, a highly respected middle-market M&A advisor with decades of experience spanning the entire transaction lifecycle – from initial sourcing and planning through final execution.

Charter Capital Partners is located at 140 Monroe Center NW in downtown Grand Rapids, just steps away from the Grand River and Rosa Parks Circle.

Our Investment Banking Services

Our investment banking services are designed to support owners, boards, and leadership teams through every stage of a transaction – from early planning through execution and beyond.

Selling a business is as much about preparation as it is about timing. We help clients understand value drivers, position the business for the right buyers, and manage a disciplined, competitive process.

Our sell-side support includes:

  • Exit readiness and strategic planning
  • Business positioning and value narrative development
  • Identification and outreach to qualified buyers
  • Transaction management and negotiation support

Growth through acquisition requires more than finding a target. It demands disciplined analysis, strategic fit, and thoughtful execution.

We support buyers by:

  • Clarifying acquisition strategy and criteria
  • Identifying and screening potential targets
  • Performing financial analysis and due diligence support
  • Assisting with valuation, structuring, and negotiations

Capital decisions can unlock growth, support ownership transitions, or strengthen the balance sheet when structured correctly.

We help organizations:

  • Evaluate debt and equity financing options
  • Prepare for lender or investor discussions
  • Assess capital structure alternatives
  • Navigate recapitalizations and minority investments

When leaders need an objective view of value or direction, we provide independent analysis to inform confident decision-making.

This includes:

  • Business and transaction valuation support
  • Strategic alternatives assessments
  • Shareholder and ownership transition planning
