Sterling Search
Sterling leverages a blend of proprietary technology and public resources to efficiently conduct large-scale, highly targeted searches, leading to unique acquisition and investment opportunities.
We have a proven track record of success, serving private equity funds, search funds, corporate clients, and high-net-worth individuals.
Proprietary Deal Flow
We identify and engage leading lower market (typically <$25M) businesses that have not announced an intent to sell or initiated a marketing process and bring them directly to you.
Curated Deal Flow
We rigorously screen every deal financially and operationally to assure it fits our clients acquisition criteria.
Right of First Refusal
We offer each of our retained clients a first right of refusal guarantee relative to any company engaged as a result of a targeted search executed on their behalf.
What Sets Our Buy-Side Services Apart?
Sterling specializes in identifying potential acquisition targets through a customized approach that leverages our extensive network, proprietary technology, and industry expertise. We pride ourselves on having a history of finding opportunities that not only align perfectly with our clients' strategic goals but also ones that our competitors are unable to find.
Access to Exclusive Deals
We provide access to transactions that are typically off-market, ensuring our clients can explore opportunities not available to the general public.
Risk Mitigation
Our thorough due diligence process ensures that deals meet acquisition criteria and are screened for potential operational risks.
Efficient Resource Allocation
By outsourcing the initial stages of deal sourcing, our clients can focus their internal resources on deal execution and post-acquisition integration.
