We take this opportunity to share exciting news about the future of our firm. We are proud to introduce our new brand identity as Artemis Transaction Advisors, LLC, artemis-ib.com.

Since our founding over a quarter century ago, we have built a reputation as a leader and trusted partner in middle market advisory. Darrell Butler and the BBC team have been providing clients with exceptional financial advisory and transactional services, helping them maximize growth and optimize exit outcomes.

In this new era, we draw inspiration from Artemis, the ancient Greek deity renowned as a protector and a guide, celebrated for her wisdom, courage, and strength. Much like Artemis herself, our team strives to embody these qualities and be the guiding light for our clients as they navigate through every twist and turn of their journey as business owners. As Artemis, we commit to providing our clients with the unwavering support they have come to trust, a comprehensive understanding of their unique financial objectives, and the strategic, intelligent, and rational advice required that guides them toward success.

We will continue to offer a comprehensive range of investment banking services for our clients’ potential endeavors, including:

  • Sell-side advisory
  • Acquisition search and advisory
  • Debt and equity financing


Our industry coverage is growing:

  • Industrials & Equipment
  • Consumer Products
  • Food & Beverage
  • Printing & Packaging
  • Distribution & Logistics
  • Technology


Our generationally transformative engagements will be staffed and supported by talented deal makers with extensive deal experience, a global professional network, and expansive geographic coverage:

  • Chicago HQ
  • Michigan (coming September 2023)
  • San Francisco (coming soon)
  • Atlanta (since 2018)

As we progress, we will update you about our services, team members, and offices in the days and weeks ahead. I want to personally thank you for placing your trust in us, and we eagerly look forward to your lasting partnership as we continue this journey, now as Artemis Transaction Advisors.

Very truly yours,
