About Us

We structure, execute, integrate, and oversee M&A for independent restaurants all the way to exit.
Our goal: Value maximization for our clients and our shareholders.

Mission Statement

Restaurants are a notoriously fragmented industry characterized by a high rate of failure stemming from an asymmetric power dynamic advantaging auxiliary industries.

Sterling's subsidiaries come as an equalizer, using legally sound and vigorous tactics to act as a Damocles Sword for disproportionately powerful stakeholders.

Identification and screening of key strategic locations for expansion

Acquisition

Loan-to-own acquisitions so Sterling affiliates absorb the legal risk
