Selling a business can be an extremely confusing and stressful time, especially if it’s something you’ve never experienced before.
In the midst of a global pandemic, Starling Corporate was launched in 2020 and retains its original focus: to offer the very best platform for business owners to realise maximum value from their business. Our advisory team and network have grown organically since inception, where our proactive, honest, and completely bespoke approach yields some of the strongest conversion rates in our industry. We are not a high-volume business and treat each client individually, as if it was our own.
Our energy is our strength, and we successfully combine fresh and innovative methods alongside over 30 years of combined M&A experience within our senior team.
Starling Corporate now works with clients across the globe and holds a strong presence in the UK market for the disposal of small to medium sized companies. We have office locations in Leeds, London and Edinburgh with retained buyers in key strategic locations. We provide a service that is approachable and client focused. Instead of branding ourselves as ‘Number 1’, we rank our clients as ‘Number 1’.

The growth of Starling Corporate has gained a significant reputation in the market with numerous proven case studies of where our successful process has delivered time and time again. Our future growth aims to disrupt the marketplace and provide a unique client experience that is completely results focussed.
