Ads and how we're paid

Last updated 2 October 2026

Who is advertising

Every Ask Sterling ad is placed and paid for by OPTIMAX AI LTD, registered in England & Wales (No. 16143914), 38 Sunnymede Avenue, Epsom KT19 9TJ, United Kingdom. Contact: mike@optimax-ai.com. Sterling is our illustrated guide character, not a real person and not a lender.

Where our ads run

  • Facebook Page: Ask Sterling (ID 1254482801091213)
  • Meta ad account: OPTIMAX AI LTD (ID act_976669091840016)
  • Meta pixel / dataset: OptiMAX Leads (ID 1322226150099379)

Our funding ads run under Meta's financial products and services category, which limits who can be targeted. We don't target by personal finances.

How Ask Sterling is paid

Ask Sterling is free to you. Abbey Road Capital / SOJA Ventures pays OPTIMAX AI LTDa fixed fee for each introduction, whether or not you take funding and whatever amount you take. We are not paid by lenders and we don't earn more if you borrow more.

What we are, and aren't

  • An introducer. We are not a lender or a broker, and we make no credit decisions.
  • We introduce your enquiry to one partner only: Abbey Road Capital / SOJA Ventures. Not a list, not a marketplace.
  • A merchant cash advance is a purchase of future receivables, not a loan. The funder sets amounts, rates and terms.
  • We do not introduce facilities repayable in full within 90 days.
  • If your answers don't fit the partner, your details stay with Ask Sterling and go to nobody else.
