Control information flow across investor types

Permission controls let you share different materials with strategic versus financial investors, early-stage evaluators versus late-stage diligence teams. Stage access progressively – high-level opportunity summaries initially, detailed financials and customer data only to serious investors after additional NDAs. Protect competitive positioning while providing transparency that investors require.

Track investor engagement in real-time

Analytics show you which investors spend time on financial projections versus market opportunity or management team materials – revealing their priorities and concerns. Activity reports identify most engaged investors, helping you focus management time on parties most likely to close and understand where to provide additional information that moves discussions forward.

Update materials efficiently during the process

Share and update pitch materials, financial models and business plans quickly as numbers evolve or story develops. Version control ensures investors always see current information, bulk upload handles multiple document updates simultaneously, and our Q&A management keeps investor questions organized as discussions progress from preliminary interest to term sheet negotiations.

Maintain confidentiality during sensitive discussions

Information rights management protects financial projections and strategic plans from inappropriate sharing. Detailed audit trails document exactly what information each investor accessed – important for securities compliance and protecting against information leakage. When you're raising capital without alerting competitors or customers, Sterling's security architecture maintains the confidentiality your situation requires.

End-to-end mutilingual 24/7 support for raising debt and equity capital

Whether you are arranging a syndicated loan, high-yield bond, PIPE, private placement or equity raise, Sterling supports the full capital raising lifecycle. From initial lender or investor education through documentation, Q&A and closing, we help keep the process organized and transparent.

Our specialists work with you to build the data room around the information needs of banks, investors and rating agencies, shape index and folder structures for efficient analysis, upload and version documents, set tiered access levels for different investor groups, configure Q&A routes that protect sensitive information, and create and manage teams for sponsors, underwriters, counsel and investors. We also handle invitations and platform training so new participants can be onboarded at short notice.

Support is provided by our multilingual in-house team, working 24/7/365 and reachable by phone or email, with an experienced deal manager overseeing each raise. Unlike others, we never outsource night or weekend coverage to third party call centers that cannot engage with real deal issues.

At each signing or closing, we deliver encrypted deal archives and comfort letters rapidly and across jurisdictions, so your debt and equity capital raising projects complete smoothly and with full documentation for future reference.
