Bankers Edge Advisory is excited to be attending the Great Lakes Capital Connection (GLCC) in Grand Rapids, a premier event for middle-market dealmakers, investors, and independent sponsors. Represented by Richard Consul, CFA, and Mitch Vermet, CFA, CAIA, our team looks forward to building connections and exploring new capital-raising opportunities at this year’s conference.
Despite headlines suggesting consumer weakness, the fundamentals tell a different story—strong employment, rising wages, healthy debt levels, and moderating delinquencies all point to resilience. At Bankers Edge, we help consumer and retail companies raise capital by connecting them with investors who see beyond short-term noise and focus on long-term opportunity.
Bankers Edge Advisory will be in New York City on September 9–10 for Opus Connect’s Private Debt Conference. This premier event brings together leading investors, lenders, and advisors to explore the evolving role of private debt in today’s market. If you’re attending, connect with Mitch Vermet at 313-670-3339 or mvermet@bankersedgeadvisory.com to schedule a meeting.
