History

Founded in Cleveland, Ohio by Mr. Robert Bruml, Bruml Capital Corporation brings experience, integrity, honesty and credibility with a focus on the middle market. In more than 20 years of business with clients in the Great Lakes region, BCC has maintained its focus on transactions with values in the range of $10 to $75 million, completing transactions with an aggregate value of more than $1.5 billion.

Since its inception in 1986, the firm has been managed with the belief that the needs of successful owners and entrepreneurs are best served by an investment banking and financial advisory firm which operates with an entrepreneurial approach. This philosophy has allowed many closely-held businesses to capitalize on opportunities for wealth creation.

BCC has maintained a relationship-based, rather than transactional, approach stemming from Mr. Bruml’s years of experience from both starting and investing in private companies and working with private owners and families.

BCC has served privately-held companies, family-owned businesses, as well as smaller, publicly-held companies. When a company is faced with a transaction decision, BCC provides clients with clear and focused options and serves as a trusted advisor throughout the entire process.

BCC seeks to build long-term relationships with its clients. A close relationship gives clients access to experienced advisors who are readily accessible to meet our clients' needs.
