The Grand Rapids Business Journal features regular weekly columns such as Street Talk, Change-Ups, Sales Moves and a calendar of business events. The newspaper also includes a weekly "focus section" on various aspects of business, including commercial real estate, finance, manufacturing, communication, education and others. These focus sections typically include a "top business list" related to the topic.

The GRBJ was first published in September 1983 as a monthly spin-off of the Grand Rapids Magazine. Its "All Business All The Time" slogan quickly earned a following. The publication became a weekly in January 1986.
