Sterling Capital, founded by Sterling LeFevre, is a boutique mergers and acquisitions (M&A) firm specializing in mid-market domestic and cross-border transactions. Led by principals with extensive on-the-ground experience, our core services include sell-side, buy-side, fundraising advisory, and pre-exit readiness. Our transactions range from USD 5M to over USD 100M.

Many years of experience allow us to specialize in carefully bridging the cultural nuances within domestic and cross-border transactions. This strategic approach produces win-win outcomes for acquirers and acquired companies alike.

We very carefully match entrepreneur-based companies with growth-oriented corporations, investors, private equity, and venture capital funds. We believe very strongly that “not all funding sources and acquirers are created equal.” The magic is in the match-up. Matching long-term corporate, financial, and personal objectives as well as the human elements with buy-side and sell-side parties makes or breaks a win-win deal.

As a boutique firm, we assure clients of the principal’s day-to-day direct involvement in every detail of every transaction. We do not rely on junior partners to make critical executive-level decisions or client recommendations.

*Sterling Capital is unaffiliated with any retail investment fund.
