We believe privately held entrepreneurial businesses represent the spirit and strength of America. We are committed to creating an environment of mutual trust and respect that attracts groups of quality entrepreneurs who share ideas, products and services to amplify their success.
-- The Charter Partners Team

Charter Partners was founded on the idea that business owners can gain more by working together as partners than they can individually.

That idea has come to life in the Charter Partners Community.

Here, business owners retain and enhance their independence and strength by capitalizing on their shared interests with other entrepreneurs. They collaborate to solve problems and create opportunities – we call this Cooperative Entrepreneurship®. They benefit from an environment in which entrepreneurs can work together collaboratively with their peers – we call this working in an environment mutual trust and respect.

Since its founding in 1991, the Charter Partners approach has proven to be workable, flexible, and effective for hundreds of business owners.

Entrepreneurs are the core of the Charter Partners Community. The community includes many others who work in cooperation and support of entrepreneurs: chief financial officers, managers and human resources professionals; employees; risk managers; product/service providers; and the Charter Partners team.
