Where are you currently?
Whether you’re opening your doors or already trading, we help you find the payment and EPOS setup that actually works for you.
I’m Starting a Business
Work out the right payment and EPOS setup before you open. Remove the stress and confusion of comparing providers, systems, rates, hardware and integrations yourself.
I Have a Business
Review your current rates, payment solutions, EPOS, integrations and overall setup to see whether there is a better solution available.
The Right System for Your Business
Restaurants, retailers, salons, hospitality businesses, gift shops and garages can all require very different systems. There is no universal best provider — the best solution depends on the business.
Tell us about your business
We learn about your business so we can understand what you need.
We assess what you need
We look at payments, EPOS, integrations, costs and future plans.
We find the best solution
With our industry knowledge, we identify the solution that best fits your business.

Sometimes the best solution is the one you already have. Sterling Merchant Advisors does not recommend changing provider simply for the sake of switching.
