Calder Capital
Calder Capital, LLC is a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm that represents sellers and buyers of manufacturing, distribution, construction and business services companies with enterprise value between $1 million and $100 million. Its clients include business owners, entrepreneurs, family offices, financial buyers and investors.
On the sell side, the firm runs a marketed process built around wide buyer outreach rather than a short list of known buyers, using a proprietary database it describes as more than 350,000 potential buyers plus targeted advertising and automated follow-up. Listings are published anonymously with revenue and cash flow figures, buyers complete an online NDA before receiving a confidential information memorandum, and each listing states the liquid funds a buyer must have to be considered. On the buy side, the Buy-Side Gold program guarantees 10 proprietary seller leads matching a client's industry, geography and size criteria. The firm also offers business valuation and exit planning advisory.
Calder Capital was founded in 2013, reports 58 deals closed in 2025 and more than 380 closed since 2013, and works from a national headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan with offices across the United States. Its team is split into sell-side and buy-side groups with dedicated search, marketing and listing administration staff.
The site does not publish retainers, success fees or engagement terms, and it warns that the firm is not affiliated with similarly named organisations and that communications should be verified through its website. Ask for the fee structure and the specific team assigned before signing.
