 Firm History
NCP Investment Banking was
founded by Eric Lohmeier and William ‘Chip’ Goodwin,
II in 2001, with a non-interest bearing, unsecured loan (since
repaid) from a local ‘angel’ insurance industry
executive. The firm was established in order to address a
deep void in the investment banking advisory market by catering
to established, small to mid-market firms which had been
virtually abandoned in response to consolidations within
the US regional brokerage industry, whereby almost all of
these firms have been acquired by large commercial banks
or bulge bracket securities firms.
Initially, NCP focused
on two broad business lines, specifically investment
banking and institutional and high net worth investment
advisory. In order to better focus on the original opportunity
of the firm, and with a more established track record,
in
2004 NCP dedicated all of its resources to the investment
banking advisory business. As a part of this transition,
in 2005 Mr. Lohmeier incorporated NCP, Inc. as an S – Corporation,
and formally established a controlling interest in the
firm. Mr. Goodwin transitioned into an investment advisory
role
in an established, private office within a large brokerage
house, though he remains on NCP’s advisory board,
and his experiences and insights are still a valuable
resource to the firm.
Since the NCP’s original founding
in 2001, the firm has performed numerous advisory and
consulting assignments
for private, public and even mutual companies, and
while focusing on the Midwest, has completed assignments
for
clients from Miami, FL to Sydney, Australia.
NCP’s
founders and advisory board members represent one of
the most experienced and credentialed institutional
investment banking franchises in the region.
