Deal management software for advisers who run the process
Most deal management tools are built for the buyer: a fund or a corporate team sourcing targets. Stowbill is built for the adviser who runs the process for a client, with the controls a partner needs before anything goes outside the firm.
What it covers
- A pipeline of every live mandate by phase, with deal value and the success fee at stake.
- Five phases from pitch to close. A partner approves each move, and the reason is on record.
- A conflict check across your clients, mandates and counterparties before you accept a mandate.
- A buyer and investor tracker: approached, NDA signed, information memorandum sent, bid received, preferred bidder.
- A data room for buyers, linked to the tracker, with NDA acceptance, watermarks, redaction and Q&A.
- The success fee worked out from the mandate terms and invoiced when the deal closes.
Controls that protect the firm
An information memorandum cannot be marked as sent to a party without a signed NDA. Nothing is released to buyers until a partner approves the teaser, the memorandum and the buyer list. Only a partner chooses the preferred bidder. Every step is written to a log that cannot be edited.
Deal flow for buy-side teams
If you are a fund tracking hundreds of inbound opportunities, you need sourcing, email capture and third-party company data. Stowbill does not do those. Tools such as DealCloud, Affinity and 4Degrees are built for that work. Stowbill fits firms that run a smaller number of mandates end to end.
Price
Flat per user, from $39 a month on the Advisory plan, with a minimum of five users. Outside buyers and clients are free, and there is no charge per deal or per page.
Not available today: AI features, page-by-page viewing analytics, email and calendar sync, a mobile app, and SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification. If you need one of these now, a larger vendor will suit you better.
Questions

Yes. Clients and deals can be imported from Excel.
Does it include a data room?
Yes, on the Advisory and Firm plans, with no per-deal fee.
