## Trusted by Active Acquirers

See how Sterling helps buyers find better-fit deals faster

SC

#### Sarah C.

Strategic Acquirer

UK Family Office

> "Sterling cut our deal sourcing time by 80%. Instead of cold calling hundreds of businesses, we now get warm introductions to sellers who actually want to sell."

## Why Buyers Trust DealFlow Agent

![Sterling and Sage Deal Flow Architecture](/assets/sage-sterling-system-DKgYOhlw.webp)

### Sterling learns your criteria in depth

Through voice calls and email, he captures your exact strategy, preferences, green flags, and red flags

### Scores businesses against your exact strategy (700+/1000)

Every opportunity is scored: you only see matches above 700/1000

### Double opt-in process (both sides agree)

No introductions happen unless both you and the seller confirm interest

### Maintains confidentiality throughout

Your acquisition strategy stays private until you're ready to engage

"96% of successful acquisitions happen because the buyer was introduced within 48 hours of the seller's decision to explore options"

## Why Traditional Deal Search Is Broken

The current market is frustrating for serious buyers. Here's what you're probably experiencing:

### 87% Mismatch Rate

Most "opportunities" don't match your actual criteria, wasting valuable time

### 6-Month Average

Time spent evaluating deals that ultimately don't proceed

### Cold Outreach Fatigue

Most sellers aren't actually ready to sell when contacted

## How Sterling Works

From signup to your first introduction in days, not months

1 

### Get Started

(30 seconds)

Create your free account and share basic criteria

2 

### Deep Dive Call

(10 minutes)

He calls you to capture your exact acquisition strategy, preferences, green flags, and red flags

3 

### Matched Introductions

(Ongoing)

When he finds a business scoring 700+/1000 against your criteria, you both opt in before any introduction

## Sterling Pricing

Built for serious buyers who value their time

Martin is one of the most well-connected figures in UK fire, security, building services and FM. He is Chairman of both the Fire Industry Association and the British Security Industry Association, the only person in the UK to hold both roles simultaneously. Martin spent over a decade in senior leadership at Mitie, latterly as Industry Liaison Director for its fire and security division, helping scale the business past £500m in revenue and playing a role in the £366m acquisition of Marlowe plc, which created one of the UK's largest compliance, fire and security services groups.

Nick leads FM Talent Partners, the facilities management and real estate leadership search firm, and is a leading specialist in building services and FM management talent. He partners with DealFlowAgent on two-way referrals: helping business owners and acquirers fill the key roles that decide whether a business is sellable, and introducing owners who are thinking about their next chapter to a team that knows their industry and their market.
