What our clients say about us

The team at SMA has been a trusted partner of my FinTech start up business. They helped us to develop a corporate business development strategy and close deals with household names much quicker than we would have been able to do on our own. They accelerated our growth. CEO, FinTech start-up firm, London

Whilst we have experienced sales executives in-house, the team at SMA really changed the game for us. Doors which had been firmly closed were opened and senior-level relationships were generated. They helped us navigate a complex sales process involving business functions spanning across various countries. At a critical stage, they managed to overcome the last hurdles and close a strategic deal within our budget year, helping us to meet our sales targets. Sales Director, Medium sized FinTech firm, Switzerland

Having an external, expert view on your business strategy is essential; even as an experienced CEO you can become entrenched. SMA were a guiding light and we completely trusted them moving forward with our ambitious business development plans. CEO, Insurance Technology start-up firm, London
