About Us

FIRST MERCHANT BANCORP, is an independent merchant banking firm, offering specialist advice and investment to the private capital market and private businesses.

We represent a combination of capital, advice and ideas delivered in complete alignment. We stand by what we say and invest our reputation and capital.

Our relationships with our clients and partners are built on shared values, trust and transparency and are central to our way of doing business. We provide an alternative to dysfunctional financial institutions and complicated synthetic products.

Our clients work with us because they want to ensure that the operational as well as the capital requirements of a project are fully resolved. In our view, this is the only way to create lasting value. Our clients and partners include; individuals, entrepreneurs and families, professional investment teams, institutions, operators and advisors.

Our approach is to provide a single point of contact yet we understand that intellectual independence is valuable, and therefore often draw on the specialist expertise of our strategic network. The partnerships we have developed with expert service providers and operators allow us to keep a determined focus on our own areas of expertise. These areas of expertise inform the opportunities we partner and, importantly, those which we do not.
